Which 2.4.7 kernel are you running? Have you tried the "benh" tree or the penguinppc trees at http://www.penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml ? Which powerbook do you have? I have a Powerbook 2000 G3 FireWire (aka Pismo) and either of the above mentioned trees tend to build and run well. And xmon is only supported if you build it into the kernel. It's on by default in the above mentioned kernels, and when I do something terrible, I get dropped to the xmon prompt as expected.
