Hello,
It is surely well known problem:
# ybin
ofpath: WARNING: Your kernel is too old for proper support, device may be
innaccurate.
# uname -r
2.6.3
After reboot and choosing "Linux" I got a white screen and the system stopped.
I did not found any solution of that problen searching the web so I decided
to find one by myself.
Maybe it is not a discovery and some people may find it obvious. I just write
it here with hope to make it able to find ;)
So:
a) The CD is used is sarge-powerpc-netinst beta2 (2004/01/14 15:22)
b) I have the system installed from that CD and upgraded to sid, width 2.6.3
kernel compiled.
The solution is:
1. Boot the system from a CD (holding a C-key after the tone)
2. Choose "expert" option at "boot:" prompt
3. Run a shell
4. Mount Your "normal" root partition to /floppy ;)
in my case:
# mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 /floppy
5. Chroot Your "normal" root
# chroot /floppy
6. Mount /proc (ybin needs it)
# mount /proc
7. Do what must be done ;)
# ybin
NOTE: ybin will read the {chroot}/etc/yaboot.conf
I hope someone will find it useful.
Greetings,
