Probably not. My experiences are very similar to yours. I'm writing
this on an oldworld g3 with Ubuntu 4.10 Warty with 2.6.8.1 kernel.
Anything newer would mean some kind of trouble.

There is the other bootloader, BootX, that needs a small partition
with OS 9. I've managed to boot some newer initrds with it than with
quik, but not the newest ones. This applies to Ubuntu.

I'm interested in hearing how it goes.
