My first suspicion is that the kernel doesn't fit in the memory
space provided by quik. Do you still have MacOS on the machine?
If so, you can try it with BootX to see if it gives the same result.
BTW, I don't remember any reports about 2.4 working on OldWorlds,
so aside from the fact that I got one to work with BootX, you may
be a pioneer.
