This is an FAQ. The debian way to do it is to install kernel-package and use that to make a kernel-image package.
1. apt-get install kernel_package (as root) 2. Download BenH's kernel some how. I use rsync. 3. unpack the kernel, if it isn't already. I usually put it in /usr/src where its expected. 4. cd /usr/src/linux (The following are done as root, or use fakeroot or sudo or something.) 5. make menuconfig (you'll need libncurses5-dev for this) 6. configure your kernel. (do you know what you need and do you know your hardware?) 7. make-kpkg clean 8. make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image If everything goes well, there should be a kernel-image-2.4.1*_custom.1.0_powerpc.deb package in /usr/src. 9. dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.1*_custom.1.0_powerpc.deb 10. Reboot computer and pray! (or play around with yaboot and set up a second backup linux kernel to boot from.) Have I missed anything?? Good Luck.
