Hi Derick, Thanks for chiming in with some help.

I noticed some of the exchanges on this thread and believed that perhaps the following references could be helpful: http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/kernels.shtml
This is for older kernels (2.2 and 2.4) and so there are small changes to be made. That's why I wrote out new instructions.
Also, the above instructions will completely replace the old kernel, destroying the ability to return to the old kernel.
The only addition to the above reference I would make would be to keep a log or notebook somewhere regarding what the name of the old kernel and old System map, and other files were. Make sure I understood and had a record of their respective links and not make any changes to the new kernel or the kernel of your own creation until this record and/or understanding was thorough. Why? Because to return to the old kernel you will have to reverse or undo all the changes you made.
We set things up so that he can return to the old kernel if the new one doesn't work. And that part is working fine, thankfully.
and this link would be useful as well: http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/yaboot_kernel.shtml
This makes the same mistake we just made (see the email I wrote a couple minutes ago).
