i don't have a problem with my beige g3 either, its the earlier power macs that are still having problems.
get a kernel bigger than 4MB to boot :
on the other hand you may have a point about quik. i don't have the exact reference for the report so, i don't know, but i do know there are a listed quik quirks on the linux-ppc pages, so machine dependencies do create some hassles.

you build this kernel ? how, can you tell please if you did not use stock kernel what was that about. are you using initrd , or is this a monolithic, eg self- contained image. ( i know i just said it didn't matter but i can use all the info i can get, and also i might use my beige to build/ test kernel, even though my target is the "g2" class). brian
