Looks as if 'mktemp' didn't manage to create a temporary file, maybe at the part labelled '## yaboot.conf autogeneration.'.
I'm unclear why mktemp would fail - you could try running the command in the script from the command line to see what error messages you get (/tmp partition full, perhaps, or even a missing mktemp). > > PS: Please 'Cc' me as I'm not receiving any message from the list and when > I reply through gmane I don't see my replies either!
