Hi Eric,
I just remembered something about the device field in yaboot.conf file.
Can you send the result of your last yabootconfig please ?
Before a yabootconfig can you do some tests : what is the result of the
ofpath command ?

Hi xavier, I think I want to check if my open firmware is correct
first. I was able to run yabootconfig following your directions. I
guess I just need to know whether or not I can rule out that it is a mis
configuration of open firmware or yaboot, before I start messing around,
can you help? Thanks.

I have a Apple G4 server model M5183. I've install Etch without a
problem, however when I get to second stage boot... it freezes or hangs
then the monitor turns black.
my boot-device for open firmware(3)is:
boot-device
/pci/ATTO,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@0:11,\\:tbxi
hd:,\\:tbxi
I believe 11 is the partition linux / is on.
help would be fantastic! ...and thank you.
Hi,
First you should reboot with your install CD.
As soon as possible : execute a shell
in in mount your / partition on /target for example.
Then :
# chroot /target
# mount /proc
# mount -a
# yabootconfig
# umount -a
# umout /proc
# exit
# umount /target
This procedure should able you to play with yaboot in order to find
where the problem can be...
Hope it will help.
