I want to make a comment here. On the web page you mention there is no
clear indication on what kernel should be used for PowerCore CPCI-3750
or other embedded platforms especially it does not explain the
difference between the "linuxppc_2_4" and "linuxppc_2_4_devel" tree:

  linuxppc_2_4        stable branch
  linuxppc_2_4_devel  stable branch testing tree

A bit more explanation would be useful.

Wolfgang.
