These are probably not "approved" methods, but you gotta do what works.
You should be able install linux-powerpc-smp.
sudo aptitude install linux-powerpc-smp
Or use what ever package manager you like. That will install the image
and related module pkgs.
If you're keeping a gutsy image around you may want to add an entry
to /etc/yaboot.conf so it can easily be booted. I have:
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.22-14-powerpc-smp
label=22.14-smp
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-powerpc-smp
I also usually check the links in /boot to make sure they point to what
I want. Look at vmilinux, vmlinux.old, initrd.img, and initrd.img.old
Currently my boot directory looks like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 398880 2007-10-14 19:49

Then of course you have to select the image when you boot.
If you got all that done you should be fine. Let me/us know if it
works.
Have Fun,
