Done. I uninstalled quik, installed another kernel:
kernel-iamge-2.4.27-powerpc-pmac. And the latter booted fine. the
previous kernel-image-2.4.27-power4-pmac probably was simply the wrong
kernel for the Powerbook G4  ...

But this new kernel won't be staying here for long: The LED for hard disk
activity seems to be disabled ... :(

Whatever: At least I have now a hopefully firewire enabled Linux
kernel here ... 

Let's see tomorrow ...

Best Regards, and Thanks again
