Migration Assistant can take a while, so that PowerBook is gonna get toasty waiting around with no fan. Since the HD in the older Mac is having problems, perhaps due to heat, I'd consider removing it first. Might be a real time saver if it otherwise would cause continual problems while reading from it.
Migration Assistant is the tool for this job, but it doesn't have much in the way of error reporting if there's a problem anywhere in the chain. It'll likely just say it couldn't be done, without telling you why.
