Package: yaboot
Version: 1.3.13a-1
Severity: important
The latest kernel upgrade modifies yaboot.conf in bad ways.
1) It puts spaces around the "=" and quotes the argument, which confuses ybin.
# diff /etc/yaboot.conf.old /etc/yaboot.conf
9c9,12
< boot=/dev/hda2
---
>
> # boot = /dev/hda2
> boot = "/dev/disk/by-label/bootstrap"
>
12c15,18
< root=/dev/hda6
---
>
> # root = /dev/hda6
> root = "UUID=88a47bea-8c36-4a09-b418-747e2396feb2"
>
ybin thinks the space between the "=" and the RHS and the quotes-marks are part
of the RHS.
It then says that the file "/dev/disk/by-label/bootstrap" (including the
quote-marks) doesn't exist.
If I remove the quote-marks, it still fails, beacuse it thinks the leading
space is part of the file name.
If I remove the leading space *and* the quote marks, it gets further... But...
2) Later on, ofpath gets called on /dev/disk/by-label/bootstrap which ofpath is
unable to parse.
It says "ofpath: Device: /dev/bootstrap is not supported".
This could probably be fixed by running $boot thru "readlink -f" to
canonicalize it,
but that part of ybin is complicated enough that I decided it should be done by
an expert.
Hope this helps!
Rick
