[Walter Lapchynski]

This issue occurred in 16.10 and is supposedly fixed in 17.04. No
confirmation of this has occurred, but 17.04 is due to be EoL in just a
few days and yaboot is not available beyond 17.04. That said, I'm going
to to call it Won't Fix.

** Changed in: yaboot (Ubuntu)

[ernsteiswuerfel]

Good to hear! GRUB2 is actively developed and works fine on my
amd64-boxes. Hopefully causing less headache on OpenFirmware-machines
too?

I suppose it's too much effort to adapt some ubiquity script to create
this ext2 boot-partition by default as is creates the ext4 / and swap by
default during the "entire disk"-install option?

[Adam Conrad]

This will be resolved in 17.04 by a switch to grub.  The workaround of
using an ext2 boot partition has been committed to the release notes.

(What would also work is installing 16.04 and upgrading)

I do not believe yaboot has in active development in a long time
upstream. The last set of commits were in 2008 see:
https://github.com/pnasrat/yaboot/commits/master

I think we are just stuck with make a separate ext2 /boot partition.

Yes, Xenials daily iso of yesterday also worked.

I even tried to get this upstream via yaboot-de...@lists.ozlabs.org as
stated on https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/ but there my message sits
waiting to get approved by the list moderator since 2 weeks...

"Hello!

Seems yaboot 'lost' the ability to boot into current (newly formatted)
ext4 partitions. Booting into ext2 partitions still works.

Confirmed this is still an issue with the server Yakkety powerpc ISO
(20161012) [1], which prevents boot after an install.

Tested the yakkety release (16.04) [2] and first point release (16.04.1)
[3] ISOs and did NOT run across this issue.

No one ever placed a bug report in Gentoo it was only discussed in the
forums. I just recently came across it in Debian. I am planning to place
a bug report there.

[ernsteiswuerfel]

I tried an install with manual partitioning, and made a seperate 1 GB
ext2 /boot/ partition. Interestingly enough, the automatically created
/etc/yaboot.conf worked fine!

Are there any known issues regarding yaboot & ext4 & partition size?
