Argggh!
Why not just download the Debian for the Power PC? I run it on my G4 mac mini.

It installs easily, etc.

Dunno why you need to do this, particularly with such an old kernel release, but it's not going to be easy. I've been a systems engineer for 25 years, and I wouldn't take it on. Good place to start learning:

Did you perform a make clean config first?

Yeah. Debian seems to be pretty good for non-intel processors and embedded systems. I've been using Etch (2.6.21 kernel) on an embedded ARM processor system recently with really good results.

Vidya, since you're now posting elsewhere about having 2.4.1 running on PPC, you should mark this thread as solved.
