Please i need to know how i can compile my own kernel with recommended settings as per the installation instructions to avoid problems booting into my new installation because i have been having problems since compiling my own kernel.

from the CRUX PPC Handbook:

Code:

Useful kernel config files are placed into the /usr/src directory. They are the config files used to build the boot kernels. 

You can use the provided boot kernel or recompile your one starting from the provided kernel config (/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.3.config is for apple32).

Code:

$ cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.3
$ make mrproper
$ cp ../linux-2.6.32.3.config .config
$ patch -p1 < ../cruxppc-logo.diff (optional)
$ make oldconfig
$ make menuconfig
$ make all
$ make modules_install
$ cp arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pmac /boot/zImage
$ cp System.map /boot/System.map
