When you installed, did you create an ext2 partition for /boot? If I’m
understanding the error message in your screenshot correctly it looks like you
took the default partition setup. Unfortunately, that setup puts the linux
kernel and initrd in the root partition, which is ext4.
Yaboot has trouble with some newer features of ext4 partitions. For a while
those new features were disabled on powerpc machines as a temporary workaround
for this problem. But it looks like that disablement is not in the installer
you are using.
My solution to that is to choose the “with LVM” partitioning scheme. This
creates a small ext2 partition to be mounted on /boot and points yaboot at it
rather than at the root ext4 partition. This /boot partition holds the vmlinux
and initrd stuff. If you don’t like LVM, you can choose manual partitioning
and set it up any way you want as long as you put the kernel and initrd in an
ext2 partition.
Hope that helps!
