It is the standard powerpc debian kernel. apt-get install
kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc, and you will find the config in
/boot/config-2.6.8-powerpc. All the rest of the stuff can be found in the
debian kernel svn repo :

Well, i am really interested to know if the above debian kernel boots for you
or not. And to find the patches that fix it if it doesn't.
