I managed to get things working on a machine bought earlier this year, with list help from Jamie Wilkinson. It was a while ago now (May) but this is the message that helped me from memory (Google radeon + Crowdy):
Has any managed to get Debian working under a new ibook (bought this year) and if so did you manage to get everything working (I don't want to have to buy a seperate USB modem...if thats the case I will be installing OSX back on here today)??

I don't build the radeon driver from that kernel. Instead I install Michel Daenzer's drm-trunk-module-src package and build the drm-trunk kernel modules separately. I should write some more on that page to spell out what I do explicitly.
quick and dirty version:
rsync -avz --delete rsync.penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh ~/somewhere
cd somewhere
make menuconfig (choose /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) as a module and Apple
UniNorth support)
exit, save
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=pants.1 kernel_image
become root
apt-get install drm-trunk-module-src
cd /usr/src
tar zxf drm-trunk.tar.gz
unbecome root
fakeroot make-kpkg modules_imagethen you have a kernel-image-2.4.20-benh10_2.4.20-benh10-pants.1_powerpc.deb and a drm-trunk-something_...deb that you can install and you're done.
