For the SCSI resources problem, I have to check is the main tree is up-
to-date with the latest PPC fixes. You may want to try with the PPC
bitkeeper tree.

For the X 4 vs. 2.4 issue, I've been biten by this for a long time (on a
Pismo too and on a G4) until I figured out that the X server dies when
looking up font path. I had a broken font path in my /etc/X11/XF86Config,
removing it fixed the problem. (It's the last one in the list, it used to
give an error with older X servers).
