I agree with Sven that, trying to get a new kernel is
something I would call upgrading.
My goals is to get an uptodate version of the kernel running.
I have heard that support for 2.4.x kernels for ppc in Debian
is phasing out, so I needed to upgrade.

ii  discover       1.5-2          hardware identification system
ii  discover-data  2.2004.05.03-4 Data lists for Discover hardware detection s
un  discover1-data <none>         (no description available)

ii  hotplug        0.0.20040329-8 Linux Hotplug Scripts


Both have new versions available as I see now.
I would have expected the kernel to have dependencies if they are needed.

Next testrun I will try the new versionS of discover.
