I would like to have some precisions to manually install a new kernel
on a PowerPC currently running Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.2.20

Here are the step I took, but without success.

1. Download the latest sources from kernel.org (2.4.19)
2. Untar them under /usr/src/linux
3. Get the linuxppc source tree with 
     rsync -avz --delete source.mvista.com::linuxppc_2_4
/usr/src/linux
4. make clean 
5. make menuconfig 
6. make dep 
7. make 
8. make bzImage 
9. make modules 
10. make modules_install 
11. cp /usr/src/linux/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinux-2.4.19-pmac
12. Added an entry in /etc/quik.conf to point to the new image
13. reboot

When I try to boot with the new image it begins to load, then the
screen goes black.  I can still boot with the old image.

Is there any other files I need to copy or did I forget a step?  Any
docs about that?  The Kernel-HOWTO explain steps for RedHat on i386, I
tried to adapt the instructions but without success.

Thanks.
Olivier
