I am sure that some one would compile a kernel for you.  Make a conf file
just the way you would want it, but I would think you have plenty of
resources available on your machine. 1.2GB available is a lot.

What you might try is installing the BenH OldWorld SCSI kernel
(linux-powermac-ow-scsi-2.4.20-benh), then upgrading MOL with the lates from
MOL's site.  That should resolve the header config problem

Are you sure you updated your module dependancies?  It sounds silly, but I
have seen many, myself included, forget to do a simple 'depmod -a'.  Try
modprobe?

I agree completely.  I've often wondered why Linux on PPC developers so
easily forget the needs of the Old World Mac users, although YDL 3.0 seems
greatly improved.  I am at a loss why someone would want to triple boot any
machine (except for software development).  YDL 3.0 with MOL on an OW Mac
with OS 9.1 is truly awesome.
