Compiling a kernel

That's make dep (no s at end)

Some other things:
you can load the config of your currently installed kernel in xconfig, 
should be a good starting point. File is in /boot

after building, don't forget mkinitrd if you have things that are needed 
during boot compiled as module (e.g. driver for root file system)

copy initrd image and vmlinux to /boot

edit /etc/yaboot.conf

run ybin -v

If you want 2.6 the modutils have to be upgraded before you boot the new 
kernel.
