I have been having some real weird problems with compiling
kernels for my iMAC. ....

I had basically the same problems compiling a kernel for iMac, and
fixed them by turning off config for the offending items.  I did not
get any of those kernels to boot on the iMac.  I ended up using 2.2.6
(the one shipped on the LinuxPPC CD).  The 226 kernel works, except for
the keyboard/mouse ("version 1.16 USB, only understand 1.0 problem").
I ended up hacking a small change into the ethernet code to snarf
specially formatted UDP packets and shove them into the console queue.
This works fine, but is rather ugly.

I have no idea what you're saying... you hacked your iMac to make it
think custom-made packets coming at it are from the keyboard?

Does anyone else have any insight into this?  Can anyone point me to
a kernel binary that works on the iMac?  How about the config file for
the said kernel?

I have a rev.D iMac, purchased about a month ago (just before the new
iMac came out).

The kernels on rshaw's pages (http://www.linuxppc.org/blueg3) should
work fine. The trick is just to comment out the USB version-checking
code. I think he has the patch there as well.
