When I booted with no hangs it seemed I got it right this time but all i get is a dead keyboard: no input at all (not even different characters than the keys i'm typing)...prompt is blinking but i cannot type anything...

It could be your kernel configuration. In Powerbooks the internal keyboard and trackpad are both ADB, so go to Device drivers -> Macintosh device drivers and make sure you check "Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) support" and "Support for ADB input devices (keyboard, mice, ...)" (and maybe the options that follow). As the minimum you should have in your .config

This appears to be a widely encountered problem, see e.g. this thread. I seem to recall that the solution therein helps, but I have never encountered the problem myself (my installations are older) so I cannot be sure.
