CONFIG_HIGHMEM failed to build for me with a Power3 kernel. I haven't rechecked since then. About the voodoo3 DRI, you should build the DRI stuff from the DRI or XFree86 packages, not from the kernel ones, which are quite outdated anyway.

I don't understand why it tries to delete the build directory, which doesn't exist in the packages, maybe another kernel-package issue ?
