compiling kernel on G4/867 12"

[Nick BERTRAND <n.bertrand@ecosse.net>]

Dear List,

Apologize in advance for this total newbie question (I?ve made every effort to
follow the available instructions online, and looked at lists etc., including
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2003/debian-powerpc-200303/msg00149.html)

I?ve been trying to install Debian on my PowerBook G4/867 12?? for the last
few (!) days and so far have failed miserably. So far, I am still booting (via
of) from my OSX partition (where linux.bin is).

I?ve got the kernel tree using rsync ?avz rysnc.penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh
/usr/src/benh-kernel

I then did make menuconfig, make dep, make clean but the make-kpkp
--revision=whatever.1.0 kernel=image ends with

mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b
/usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image -r 2.4.20-ben10; fi
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/benh-kernel'
if [ -x debian/post-install ]; then                                   \
        IMAGE_TOP=debian/tmp-image version=2.4.20-ben10 debian/post-install;\
fi
cp
cp: missing file argument
Try `cp --help' for more information.
make[1]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/benh-kernel'

Can anyone help? Suggest an alternative route?
That would be much much appreciated!

Nick
