I see that you have updated to 2.6.25.3 and you have a deb file for the kernel image but not for the kernel modules. Being that I build a kernel from source and made a deb for the kernel modules, how would I install the kernel modules you have made to test out? I can't really help with testing the kernel on other ppc64 as the ps3 is the only ppc platform I have but it may help me fix a problem I am having with playing VCDs in VLC as I may have done something wrong when I build the kernel from source.
