Have you tried the latest 5.14.8 kernel from www.kernel.org?
Which G4 PowerBook are using?
The "recovering journal" message could be a correction from a previous
failed boot. Are you able to access the system over a network when the
screen hangs? If yes, does "dmesg" report anything interesting? Have
you tried "video=ofonly" on the kernel command line in case there's a
problem with the video driver? Can you send a link to the ".config" file
that you used to compile the kernel (or send it as an attachment)?
