Nothing
in the interest of documenting this further, i should mention that i was
already using yaboot 0.6, and simply added the line
append="hda=noautotune"
to the yaboot.conf in the bootstrap partition. NOTE: adding this to
/etc/yaboot.conf and then running ybin/mkofboot does not seem to update this
li
that indeed solved the init freeze problem.
this should be in the docs!!! it would have saved me 12 hours of
reboot/reinstall problems.
thanks
