Is Mac OS X still booting?
Can you still boot from CD?

I had a similar problem with an iBook G3 (2xUSB) some years ago. It got 
solved by Apple replacing some hardware. Everything was working fine 
with Mac OS X but after the linux install it did not want to reboot 
anymore at all but just brought that quiesce message - however without 
the returning line - iirc.

maybe it helps...
