There is no such thing as a g4-smp kernel. There is the powerpc-smp kernel, which you should use, and the g5-smp one, which you should not use, as obviously you have no g5 system. > the initrd. I then tried kernel-image-powerpc-smp which works great. I'm > wondering what is the difference between the two kernel-images and why does > the G4 image not work for me?

There is some confusion here, there are currently only 4 kernel images, in both normal and smp flavor, powerpc for all powerpc processors from early 601 to the latest g4, power3 for the ibm power3 boxes, and power4/g5 for the power4/ppc970 processors on ibm/apple g5 boxes.
