The current debian kernels are etch's 2.6.18 and sid's 2.6.20. If i
where you, i would install the etch 2.6.18 kernel, and if you really
need something custom use the etch source package to build your own
kernel, starting from the /boot/config-2.6.18... file.

This is a yaboot warning, saying it has trouble finding the elf header
from the kernel. My first guess is that either your kernel is not an elf
file, and something went horribly wrong, or more probably your
yaboot.conf points at the wrong file, and not at the actual kernel.
Maybe you have a dangling symlink or something ?
