compile it, and install the proper files in /boot (you can see what you
need from the mandrake kernels you already have).
Copy one of the mandrake entries in /etc/yaboot.conf and edit it to have
the proper image and initrd (if you need one).
Run mkinitrd like so:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-<kernelversion>.img <kernelversion>
/sbin/ybin -v
And you should be set. However, if you're still having trouble send us
your yaboot.conf and the contents of your /boot and maybe we can help...
