You're probably right, but I don't have write access to that file, and my time is stretched a little thin. For the most part, support for machines made after a given release is not going to be very good. Things will work, but X support is generally not quite there, so one has to tweak it a bit. But you're right, not being able to boot is a big issue. I could cerainly do an update of yaboot for 8.2, but the ISO's will still be broken.
