Hi, to start I'm back in Sarge with my PBG4 12".
Finally it was Ben's hint which made the day a red-letter day. For the records: So I rsynced 2.4.23-pre5-ben0, compiled it monolithic without that CPU-frequency scaling option. I renamed vmlinux to linux.bin. Then I went on as Matthias Schmidt recommended for installation on PBG4 at http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/apple/powerbook.en.php and 2.4.23 was up :))) I looked on mac-fdisk's output and surprisingly for me hda2 was Apple_bootstrap. So some crowdy error-messages tricked me to believe I lost hda2's type during my boot-trials from macosx and cd 8-p. There were explicitly messages like "Bootstrap of type HFS". Then I rsync'ed 2.4.23 from my PB, make-kpkg ..., installed it. Just to get shure I did a ybin -v before reboot (don't know if it was necessary). BTW hwclock was (re)set to "some day in 1970" when I booted first from macosx, everything else seemed to be ok. Finally, I want to thank Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Chris Tillman, Clive Menzies, Wolfgang Pfeiffer and Eric Bachard much for spending their time and knowledge to solve my problem.
