The current powerpc module .deb is 8Mo of size, compressed. I guess you don't need all of them at boot time though. > For i386, there also only one initrd (there isn't one for dual-cpu, or > intel/amd, ...) Mmm, i am not all that experienced in kernel-module interaction, but from experience, i can say that using the modules which were not built using the same kernel configuration than the kernel, is a recipe for disqster. But you go ahead, try them out, install the powerpc-small kernel package, together with the -powerpc kernel, and tell me if it works. BTW, i managed to restore the importants things of my lost harddisk, so i may make a kernel upload soon. The only problem i currently have is that the System.map link making stuff complains about System.map-2.4.22-powerpc already existing when upgrading (or simply replacing) the kernel-image package, another kernel-package bug most probably.
