If your really want to upgrade your kernel, I'd say you should use
debian packages (maybe upgrade to etch or use backports.org). If you
really really want to build your old kernel, begin using the .config
from the currently running kernel (try /boot/config-2.6.8-powerpc or
something like that and copy it to .config in the linux sources folder).
You will still have to answer some questions because kernel have changed
a lot between 2.6.8 and 2.6.17 but...
