Joss,
Thanks for your help.
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?
The 6.4 is proably a bit too old (not every package is 2.4 ready). If you want to play with 2.4, get these rpms: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/modutils-2.4.1-0.ppc.rpm ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/2.4.1/k_deflt-2.4.1-3.ppc.rpm If you want to compile your own kernel, use these patches for a plain 2.4.1.tar.bz2 from kernel.org: http://penguinppc.org/~olaf/linux-2.4.1/ the plain 2.4.1 does not contain all needed ppc patches. Read the Documentation/Changes file for the needed version of some tools, ppp as example need an update, compile it against 2.4 headers.
