CONFIG_HIGHMEM failed to build for me with a Power3 kernel. I haven't
rechecked since then. About the voodoo3 DRI, you should build the DRI
stuff from the DRI or XFree86 packages, not from the kernel ones, which
are quite outdated anyway. I don't know about the scsi speed thing,
which driver do you use ?

Try loading the module by hand (with modprobe macserial as root) and
report back the output of it.

Ok, these are known problems, but should not stop you from installing
the kernel. I don't understand why it tries to delete the build
directory, which doesn't exist in the packages, maybe another
kernel-package issue ?
