Adrian,
	I have the powerbook model that came out after yours.  My issue was  
that my video card wasn't supported with 3.0.1 (ATI Mobility 9600 will  
be supported in 4.0 I am told).  Linux on any laptop is always a tricky  
thing.  If your machine is just booting to black then chances are your  
yaboot may not be functioning.  This could be an issue with the  
partitions not being properly configured.  If you haven't , I strongly  
suggest you follow the install manual located here:

http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/installation/ydl3.0_guide- 
single.pdf

	I just did exactly what was printed there and I got everything but  
xfree86 running, and my laptop is not even listed as being supported.

Luck be with you!
