I know several people who are using g-v-m/hal/udev on a powerbook without any
problems (myself included). Now a few months back there was a bug
report against hal that apparently the kernel oopsed when starting X with hal
running on an older ppc machine. But according to the reporter it was
unreproducable sometime later, probably because of a kernel or X upgrade.
