Re: Rolling my own Powerpc kernel from Debian sources
Usually the kernel images are installed in /boot.
Here is my /boot directory:

As you can see I have several kernel images there at the moment.
Installing a "kernel.deb" created with make kpkg will put the image there...
Then I created the symlinks vmlinux-...
(I also symlinked the according System.maps, although that is not
necessary I think unless you are a kernelhacker...)
The according yaboot.conf looks like this:## yaboot.conf generated by
yabootconfig 1.0.4
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ
boot=/dev/hda9
device=hd:
partition=11
root=/dev/hda11
delay=10
timeout=50
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
macos=/dev/hda13
macosx=/dev/hda12
defaultos=macosx
enablecdboot
default=newest
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
## append="video=ofonly"
append="keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux-old
label=old
append="video=ofonly"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux-new
label=new
append="keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux-stable
label=stable
append="keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinux-newest
label=newest
# append="keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1"
read-only
Here the kernelimages get refered to by the symlinks.
Dont forget to run ybin (as root) after editing yaboot.conf
feel free to ask any more questions ...

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the "correct symlinks"?
I'm particularly interested in those necessary for a Ti PowerBook I got at Christmas-time 2001.
TIA

I suggest using the benh kernel anyway
(http://master.penguinppc.org/~benh/), or do you have any special reason
not to do so?
To get it:
mkdir /usr/src/benh_kernel
rsync -avz rsync.penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh /usr/src/benh_kernel
to compile:
cd /usr/src/benh_kernel
sudo make xconfig
make-kpkg ...
sudo dpkg -i ...
then make the correct symlinks, edit yaboot.conf and execute ybin
