I was able to compile a 64 kernel debian package. The steps: 1)apply the attached patches to dpkg and kernel-package, compile and install 2)install a cross-compiler (use http://kegel.com/crosstool/) 3)apt-get install kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.7 (don't know if it is necessary) 4) export INITRD_OK=1 export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=yes export PATH=/path to the cross-compiler 5)untar the kernel-source and use the attached config 6)make-kpkg --initrd --rootcmd fakeroot --arch powerpc64 --cross-compile powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu clean 7)make-kpkg --config menuconfig --initrd --rootcmd fakeroot --arch powerpc64 --cross-compile powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu kernel_image
8)good luck with your new kernel. PS: The config is very similar to debian-powerpc-smp. Don't know if something should be changed but this one boots. How is the ppc64 port going? Rafael
