Ok. So the chrp-rs6k kernels are ok.

I would need to build a new config then, since the power3 is not the
same as the one produced with CONFIG_ALL_PPC, right ? Apart from that,

The debian-installer site is :

  http://people.debian.org/~mbc/di.html

And you can get the isos here :

  http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/powerpc/

Which should contain the initrd.
