i think you should try disabling the Display early Open Firware boot
option - or the like as i don't rimember and i haven't got my ib at
hand - and making sure you are compiling for the right arch.
Have you selected the Emulate apm option?
Have you heard about the 2.6.13 boot problems on radeon ibooks?
There are some not yet resolved - IIRC - issues with the resolution in
the early boot stages.
Try this patch, or edit the files by hand.
