In order to get a working powerpc kernel tree from those packages, you
need to install kernel-source-2.4.25, kernel-patch-2.4.25-powerpc and
kernel-build-2.4.25-powerpc.  Then unpack the source tree from the
tarball /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25.tar.bz2, apply the patch from
/usr/src/kernel-patches/powerpc/debian-powerpc.diff.gz, and unpack
/usr/src/kernel-build-2.4.25-powerpc.tar.bz2 on top of the result.

At least, that's what I usually do.  No, it's neither easy nor
straightforward.  But it wasn't meant to be.  Let me repeat, you
probably don't need the kernel source in the first place.

Since there is no uninstall target in the top-level Makefile, you need
to weed them out by hand.  Most of it got installed in /usr/local, if
you didn't change the default prefix when running the configure
script.

Looks like you are using incompatible versions of the kernel module
and the emulator.  To be sure, I need the output from 'modprobe -l
mol\*' and 'md5sum /lib/modules/2.4.25-powerpc/misc/mol.o'.
