I guess the debian stock kernels don't work? It would certainly be
easier to find a powerpc than to build a cross-compiler...
If you don't mind helping me get up to speed a little bit (I've done
some building, but not a kernel yet), and you think a kernel compiled
on an iMac would probably work, I could help you out with my machine.
FWIW, the 'Note' error reminds me that ybin/yaboot adds a bogus 'Note'
to keep CHRP machines happy. Might be something there.
