Can you try one of these images?
based on linuxppc_2_4
/mirror/SuSE/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt/zImage.chrp-rs6k

based on linuxppc_2_4_devel
/mirror/SuSE/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/sleep/zImage.chrp-rs6k

One guy reported that it boots with a plain kernel.org tree, so it cant
be too hard.
