 |
|
Preface: I am at my wits end... no one had any ideas for me last time around. This time i am using the stage 3 installation and it still generates this error when i run yabootconfig.
[size=10]All who know much more than I: Please offer your aid...
I cannot, not for the life of me, get yabootconfig to create a functional yaboot.conf file. [see code below]
System info:
G4 ppc (not the silver variety)
512 mb RAM
2 - IBM deskstar 40GB HD's [Gentoo on the master drive]
| Code: |
# yabootconfig --debug
yabootconfig: DEBUG: ROOT=/dev/hda4
yabootconfig: DEBUG: mac-fdisk is: mac-fdisk
yabootconfig: DEBUG: BOOT=/dev/hda2
...
Install yaboot bootstrap on /dev/hda2 to boot Linux from /dev/hda4 [Yes]
Creating a simple /etc/yaboot.conf...
yabootconfig: DEBUG: KERNEL=/boot/vmlinux
yabootconfig: DEBUG: KERNEL=/boot/vmlinux
KERNDEV=
KERNDIR=
LINKDEV=
PARTITION=
KERNELDISK=
yabootconfig: Could not determine necessary information, aborting...
yabootconfig: Are you using chroot yabootconfig instead of yabootconfig --chroot ?

mac-fdisk output:
| Code: |
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 31.5k
/dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 800.0k
/dev/hda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 2.0G
/dev/hda4 Apple_UNIX-SVR2 root 10.0G
/dev/hda5 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home 7.2G
/dev/hda6 Apple_Free Extra 128M
/dev/hda7 Apple_HFS Apple_HFS... 19.0G
/dev/hda8 Apple_Free 8.0k
|
fstab (abridged):
| Code: |
/dev/hdb3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb4 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb5 /home ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/cdroms...
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
anything else you need to figure it out, I will provide gladly, of course...many thanks to all in advance!

This could be part of the problem.

Very sorry, the b's were meant to be a's and I left out the Apple partitions originally. .. thanks for the suggestion though. I fixed the mislabelling above.
