Ok, i may do that.

I will let this work to the yaboot/pmac folk.

Mmm, this is for stage 1 only, right ? And it needs all scsi/ide udebs
as well as filesystem udebs for filesystems we might want to read stuff
from (iso 9660, hfs, hfs+, affs, asfs come to mind).

The rest of the udebs ?

Yep, that would be best.

Ok.

Well, i am doing other stuff, but i can regularly try a make and report
back. Also, since a kernel build takes me 3 hours, i may find some time
to look at it more in detail :))
As you have seen, i am almost ready to upload the new powerpc kernel
packages, and then i would like to build test images to see if i did
everything correctly with the kernel module udebs.
Also, i am thinking that it may be possible to extract what is needed
from the kernel build tree to incorporate the initrd in the kernel at a
later time, more exactly in the debian-installer build, and for that i
also would need support in the debian-installer build system, so we will
produce on the CD both a normal kernel as well as a kernel with builtin
initrd for each of the powerpc subarches, well at least chrp, chrp-rs6k
and prep. I don't know if pmac can handle it. There will also be the
.coff kernel naturally.
There will be 5 kernel-image udebs for powerpc :
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-chrp-rs6k-udeb_2.4.22-2_powerpc.udeb
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-chrp-udeb_2.4.22-2_powerpc.udeb
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-pmac-coff-udeb_2.4.22-2_powerpc.udeb
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-pmac-udeb_2.4.22-2_powerpc.udeb
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-prep-udeb_2.4.22-2_powerpc.udeb
Plus the package needed to build the initrd including kernel (possible
kernel-build-2.4.22-powerpc-udeb).
