... which are probably caused by not reading the mailing list
archives and other documentation.

I guess you mean the Linux kernel.

No.
ALl you need to do to get a working default configuration is:
bash$ make mrproper
bash$ make rpxlite_config
bash$ make oldconfig
bash$ make dep
bash$ make pImage
The last step assumes that you have PPCBoot enabled kernel sources;
I'm not sure what version of kernel tree you're using, so I cannot
comment on this.

This depends on the boot loader you use.

If your bootloader needs S-records, then yes.

Since you mention "mkimage" I assume you use PPCBoot as boot loader -
and actually this is the only reason I reply at all.
Why don't you just read the README that comes with PPCBoot?
If there is anything in this README file which is not clear please
let me know, and I will try to improve it.
