Download a replacement kernel from

http://valla.uchicago.edu/ppc/vmlinux-pbg412.bz2

as described at

http://valla.uchicago.edu/ppc/pbg412.html

Bunzip2 it.  Move it to the same directory as your root.bin, yaboot and
yaboot.conf.  Rename it to linux.bin.

Then follow the installation instructions as previously.
