This machine does *NOT* have Mac OSX installed on it. I told YDL to clear the partition table and use the whole disk.

First, according to the pdisk dump what you are being told there is that you probably used Apple's Disk Utility to partition your drive however you selected the option for Unix, instead of the official recommendation from Terra Soft that you select the option for Free Space. Good Luck....From: Keith Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: February 27, 2006 7:36:19 PM EST To: Yellow Dog Linux General Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: [ydl-gen] Problem with yaboot/YDL 4.0.1 Reply-To: Yellow Dog Linux General Discussion List <[email protected]> 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?
