Re: unable to boot linux-2.6.18.4
It means you have not installed the dependencies of the package. that it
tries to call mkvmlinuz is a hint that you are not on powermac, or that
you do something strange.

Try apt-get install initramfs-tools. I wonder how you where able to
install linux-image-2.6.18-4-powerpc without it automatically pulling in
either yaird or initramfs-tools. This is a RC bug in itself if it is
confirmed. But :
It turns out that initramfs-tools does be installed already. And
i'm suprised that the error is different from previous.
(maybe due to the reinstallation of util-linux package ?)

This still seems like a mac. Please try :
dpkg-reconfigure mkvmlinuz, and chose yaboot.
It already is..
