It is. The only change that happened with powerpc after Jessie was released is
that it the release team disabled the testing migration and hence effectively
ignored it for the next stable release.

Everything else remained unchanged. Packages for powerpc are still built as they
were before. Please note that normally all new packages for any architecture
are built on unstable first. The packages built in unstable just propagate
into testing after a given period of time.

You can continue to use Debian on powerpc as before. You just don't get to have
a stable release at the moment but you must track unstable. However, we are
planning to eventually support Debian testing in Debian Ports. This involves
setting up an instance of a software called Britney which is what is responsible
for migrating packages from unstable to testing.

The main problem here is that we still haven't migrated from Yaboot to GRUB
on PowerPC Macintoshes :(.

Thanks for the info. I now tried several variations on my Mac mini G4 
and it looks like `ybin` only complains if it cannot translate the value 
of the first macosx stanza to an OF path. If a non-existing device is 
used in a second macosx stanza `ybin` does not complain if the device in 
the first macosx stanza can be translated.


Not sure why it worked for Felix to remove the second stanza then, but 
maybe we can conclude that multiple macosx stanzas in a yaboot.conf are 
wrong.


Cheers,
Frank

It looks like you have the "macosx=" option twice in your `yaboot.conf`
on top and at the bottom. I'm unsure if this is an issue though. Does
someone with Debian and Mac OS X on their machine know more?



But does `/dev/hda10` really exist on your machine?


I remember only having trouble finding helpful docs on trying to customize
yaboot.conf. It might have been a pre-sata doc I was working from. sda1-14
exist, but no hda*, and fdisk finds neither, hence my use of parted. Still I'd
like to know something that can distinguish or explain sda2-7.

Simply removing the macosx=/dev/hda10 line from yaboot.conf solved the problem.
Ybin simply runs with no visible output. :-D


So either the double usage of the macosx stanza or the non-existing 
device is the problem.

1.3.16 on Jessie. I've never discovered any indication anything newer than
Jessie was available for a G4. If I s/jessie/stretch/g sources.list, I get 5

Simply removing the macosx=/dev/hda10 line from yaboot.conf solved the problem.
Ybin simply runs with no visible output. :-D

Hi Felix,

what Debian release are you actually running and what yaboot version 
(shown above yaboot boot prompt) have you installed? I'm running Sid 
(just upgraded all packages minutes ago) and yaboot 1.3.17.

But does `/dev/hda10` really exist on your machine?

Apart from that I did some testing with `ofpath` and seem to be able to 
create a similar behaviour on my Mac mini G4:

root@mac-mini:/dev/disk/by-id# ofpath /dev/sda6

```

So it works with the actual path. Interestingly I have:

```
boot="/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HM160HC_S12TABCD123456-part2"
```

...in my `/etc/yaboot.conf` and running `ybin` doesn't make an issue for 
me although `ofpath` doesn't seem to work with it when specified as 
argument. Maybe `ybin` does resolve the symlinkg before feeding the 
device path to `ofpath`.


I'd still try to replace the symlink device paths 
(`/dev/disk/by-id/[...]`) in your yaboot.conf against the actual device 
paths (`/dev/sda?`) or the result from ofpath for the actual device 
paths and try again to run `ybin` with the modified `yaboot.conf`.
