Does the vmlinux work?

Here is a part of my kernel config for ibook2:

#
# Macintosh device drivers
#
# CONFIG_ADB_CUDA is not set
CONFIG_ADB_PMU=y
CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_PMAC_APM_EMU=y
CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT=y
# CONFIG_MAC_FLOPPY is not set
CONFIG_MAC_SERIAL=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_ADB=y
CONFIG_ADB_MACIO=y
CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID=y
# CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES is not set
CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN=y
CONFIG_MAC_HID=y
 

I remember vaguly that I had problems with keyboard and kernel.
