I haven't tried the benh kernel. I'm testing the claim that 2.4.7 is Mac
Compatible by
o getting the sources from
ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.7.tar.gz
o Copying the configuration that came with YellowDogLinux 2.2.19
using cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.19
make menuconfig
save as a file in /usr/src
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.7
make menuconfig
restore from the saved menuconfig file
uncheck the items I know I don't need (a growing list)
make dep
make
make modules
make modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.7/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.7
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.7/vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-2.4.7
fix yaboot.conf to allow the new kernel
-reboot
