Can you try : boot cd:0,/install/powerpc64/vmlinux Or also the devlias output to see if there is a cd alias.

It first says cd:0,/install/boot/msg: unable to open file, Invalid device Ok, so yaboot.conf is loaded correctly, it just fails to load the install/boot stuff. Will look at this. then it comes up with the boot: prompt boot: If I hit enter I get cd:0,/install/powerpc/vmlinux: unable to open file invalid device Ok, this is the default thingy. Do you have an idea what the right way for this is ? Can you drop into the OF console, and look at what the path to cd is, and try to boot yaboot in /install by hand ? I have just tried gentoo and they have the full OF path to the cd. Ah, possibly. Can you give it to me ? Oh, and you would need to run install64 or something such, and furthermore, the below is not the right yaboot.conf, we need to fix it # Power 4 subarch image=/install/power4/vmlinux label=install-power4 initrd=/install/power4/initrd.gz append=devfs=mount,dall init=/linuxrc -- initrd-size=10240 read-only These ones are not in the archive at all anymore, it need to be install/powerpc64/vmlinux :/ Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Sven I can boot the system with the following at the boot prompt /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1,/install/powerpc64/vmlinux it kernel faults cause the rest of the boot line is missing so I tried something like the line below as I did not have time today to look up the correct parameters and it got a little further. I have to leave for a week vacation now (late already) but will pick this up again when I get back /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1,/install/powerpc64/vmlinux initrd=/install/powerpc64/initrd.gz append=devfs=mount,dall init=/linuxrc -- initrd-size=10240 read-only cheers Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

yaboot gets to the boot prompt but it can not find the device cd.
