Looking at the sources I wonder how you do it for the debian linux-images-* as the only Makefile where it seems to generate a "zImage.prep" automagically is in arch/ppc/boot/simple/Makefile. But that doesn't work, I guess, because CONFIG_PPC_PREP doesn't exist anymore (at least I couldn't find it in "menuconfig" or in the ".config" file). Before trying to build a kernel myself I tried the debian linux binary image. An image for powerpc is not there yet so I used rc7. I netbooted "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-rc7-powerpc" and the result was that I got a lot of output saying that there is something wrong. I assume the output was from the firmware because the kernel usually doesn't report an endless list of errors saying something about "stack exception" every now and then and mostly printing zeros followed by a new line character. After that I copied the config from that kernel, downloaded the debian sources of 2.6.15, enabled ISA and some alsa ISA sound drivers and run into the trouble above.
