1) You must get it from www.kernel.org then unstuff it and with the
terminal go in the kernel folder
2) type "make xconfig" and configure the kernel as u want
3) save the kernel settings
4) type "make modules && make modules_install"
5) type "make vmlinux"
6) type "cp ./System.map /boot/" it will ask u if u want to overwrite the
file, type "y"
7) edit the yaboot configuration file typing "emacs /etc/yaboot.conf" or
any other text editor, and put all the          new settings there
8) type "ybin"
9) reboot and good luck
