Hi On Friday I tried the following: I did the grep kernel...and found that I had 2 kernels listed. As ROOT I didn't have permission to alter the /etc/yaboot.conf file. I do remember going to that file prior to your email, thru someone's suggestion I read on the web, thru emacs...i was able to open the file that way this time and I added the new lines. As Root again, I ran ybin/ -v and nothing happens. It returns my root password and when I grep again, I find the same 2 kernels listed....I also went back to the /etc/yaboot.conf to be sure the lines were added and yes, they were there.
I also tried this from another suggestion......... /sbin/ybin and also nothing. Is something supposed to happen on this last step...cuz I don't see it!
