Some people in this list may be confusing, so let me summarize my  
boot

problem.

I am using JS20 (884241X) to run XenPPC, which is booted from  
local disk

through the /etc/yaboot.conf like this.

  # header section
  partition = 2
  timeout = 600
  default = xen
  # image section
  image = /boot/vmlinux
  label = linux
  root = /dev/hda3
  append =  quiet sysrq=1 insmod=sym53c8xx insmod=ipr
  initrd = /boot/initrd
  # kawatiya 2006/08/24
  image = /boot/xen-3.0-unstable
  label = xen
  append = xen -- root=/dev/hda3 sysrq=1 insmod=sym53c8xx
insmod=ipr

However, I have several boot problems with recent versions.



This yaboot header looks ok.
Is the insmod object comming from the disk or a ramdisk you are  
imbedding into your Dom0 Image?


I'd be interested in this answer

Actually, the insmod options were just copied from the original boot stub
labeled linux, which was created by SLES10 installer.
Perhaps they may be unnecessary for dom0 Linux, but old XenPPC's worked
well even with this setting.
