have you a debian provided kernel?
I Use gentoo on my ibook so i don't know anything about debian, but i
suppose that the defaul ppc kernel shoud have preemptible disabled.

What if u boot your computer without starting X at all ? it's been a
long time since i had the same problem of u and , if i remember well, i
was able to compile a kernel in console (Not at all in X).

As last resort you could ask a kernel to someone with a PB here on the
list, boot and then recompile your kernel.
