Hi,

I installed using the YDL 4.0.1 cd's with the following partitioning in the ks file:

clearpart --all
part None --size=1 --fstype="Apple Bootstrap"
part /boot --size=500
part swap --size=4096 --grow --maxsize=8096
part / --size=4352 --grow --maxsize=6144
part /var --size=500 --grow --maxsize=2048
part /var/tmp --size=500 --grow --maxsize=2048
part /scratch --size=1024 --grow


I just tried to update my kernel to a custom RPM that I built and discovered that yaboot doesn't work. When the kernel rpms install, I see:

Failed to initialize HFS working directories: Permission denied
ybin: /dev/sda2 appears to have never had a bootstrap installed, please run 
mkofboot


A 'pdisk' dump of the /dev/sda filesystem:

Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/sda'
#:                type name        length   base      ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple           63 @ 1
2:     Apple_Bootstrap untitled      2048 @ 64        (  1.0M)
3:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled  12578895 @ 2112      (  6.0G)
4:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap      16579080 @ 12581007  (  7.9G)
5:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 274011791 @ 29160087  (130.7G)
6:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled   4192965 @ 303171878 (  2.0G)
7:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled   4192965 @ 307364843 (  2.0G)
8:     Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled   1024000 @ 311557808 (500.0M)



I did some investigation and it looks like hmount (called by ybin) does not like this /dev/sda2 partition. I can, however, use 'mount -t hfs' to mount the partition.

Has anyone else run into this?  Is there a fix?

Thanks.
