You want : kernel-image-2.6-powerpc or kernel-image-powerpc. I am unsure of what you are doing, but it seems to me that you are doing an upgrade to an etch system, right ? Or are you upgrading to lenny or sid ? Be aware that debian only supports a single upgrade step at a time. I am unsure what the etch kernel will do for oldworld bootx using machines, there where some trouble recently, but i hope it got fixed. I remember adding some patches last year, but my attention was diverted to the messy dispute i am forbiden to mention then. If nothing else, you have to copy your kernel onto a HFS partition for BootX to use, and i suppose that BootX can boot your old kernel, but it is good to have a pair of miboot d-i images handy for rescue purpose or something.
