lost interupt for the hard disk sounds makes me think you are using
bootx to boot, don't do that. bootx does not work very well on most
of the newer `newworld' machines, instead use yaboot.

then it very well may be a kernel support problem, BenH is doing a
tremendous ammount of work getting the kernel working on all the newer
apple hardware, if you have not tried his latest kernel that would be
the best route to start with.
I can't remember off hand the address for his rsync archive, but he
usually posts a updated binary kernel on his test page at
http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh/
for some information on yaboot and how to install it see my page under
`ybin'
