Here is trick. When the system is first booting. It may say in a flash something like l for linux c for cdrom let that go to next stage when it says something like Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13 Enter 'help' to get basic usage information boot: But it goes to next stage (which fails) very quickly often before I noticed it at first in only few seconds being used to slower more obvious lilo and grub boot menus on pcs) quickly press any key, I suggest the tab Now it has stopped at that prompt type old then [return] key or try help This is a yaboot prompt and choose which kernel to boot and old one is still there. Hopefully that should work, to get something usable maybe a bit slow. Extra note: after upgrade I choose replace sys links for old so it was still pointing to breezy kernel rather than the broken one so still had same option knew works, just in case new kernel did not work as well but it did for me. I may add step by step details to my page or forum post later. Still no sound though but that may be unrelated. -- 2.6.15 kernel fails to boot on ppc machine https://launchpad.net/bugs/34508 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
