I'm using the latest rsync tree of linux-pmac-stable as well...but I'm using a wallstreet machine (233mhz)

I'm experiencing something similar to this...
It's almost as if the battery gets disconnected sometimes:
I put the machine to sleep in MacOS, unplug the power strip, put it in my case, and walk around with it for a while, open the case up, and...oh look at that the led isn't blinking any more!
Then, the same thing started happening with linux...
It gets to a point where I can't get the machine to boot again without putting the power plug back in.
I was suspicious of a faulty battery bay, so I (temporarily) moved the battery over to the other bay last night -- we'll see how that works.

I haven't tried this out yet...I almost always boot it with the power in. Perhaps I'll try this.
