This advice is x86 specific, and using 2.4 kernels on powerpc these days is akin to pure madness :) A more exact tip is : 1) use the sarge installer, and go upto the install phase. 2) Before rebooting the machine, switch to console 2 and chroot into /target. 3) mount /proc and /sys. 4) download the sid kernels, initramfs-tools and udev packages (and dependencies), and install those. 5) redo the yaboot configuration. 6) proceed with the normal install and reboot. Another possibility is to try the debian/etch beta2 installer, which will have 2.6.15 kernel from the start. You will even be able to have the graphical installer then. The beta2 is not yet out (but almost there), and you can use daily builds of the installer until it is.
