I dont know anything about Debian, or PPCs, but I'm sure someone
else will answer you, who does know. But my guess is that it uses
LILO to start up.
Did you rerun lilo to point to the new boot-image after
making/choosing a new kernel?

Do I understand right, that actually it does boot off something
but not for a second time? Is this hardware that needs a power
off/on reset before it will be in a known state?
