I'd boot in with the installer to see what's going on. It's possible you didn't run ybin after changing your yaboot.conf for the new kernel, or maybe the vmlinux symlink didn't get updated to point to it. If you remember the exact name/path, you could try boot: hd:11,/boot/vmlinux-2.4.16-powerpc or whatever the real name is. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
