I read on one of the yaboot FAQs that kernel 2.2.15 or greater is required for Yaboot to work. Unfortunately, I have 2.2.14 (SuSE 6.4). I would like to use the latest kernel but I believe 2.4.0 is not ready for the PPC. What is the most recent kernel available for the PPC? Is there any good FAQs on how to upgrade the kernel on the PPC?
This is strange, since I have successfully used yaboot with kernel 2.2.14 (SuSE 6.4) on a B/W G3... I have read somewhere that OS 9 ships vith a version of Drive Setup that is not compatible with Linux booting (sorry, don't remember where I saw it), so your problems may come from there. Try formatting your drive(s) with Drive Setup 1.7.3 (see http://asu.info.apple.com). And take a look at the "README_" file on CD#1: it tells how to use the generate_os_chooser script, the easiest way for configuring the os_chooser file. regards nicola
