NPTL -- not happening?

I have a 7500 with a G3 upgrade card (Sonnet Crescendo G3/PCI 250Mhz 512K cache) that I'm having trouble getting to boot w/ quik. I can run the boot / root disks just fine, but after installing quik and rebooting the system hangs. I've spent the better part of the day going through various

Could anyone help me with the steps for compiling the stock 2.6.8 Debian kernel for the powerpc (specifically a 233MHz rev B iMac)? I have been following the instructions at http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm but I'm stumped by this part: Kernel Patches Kernel patches are a way of
