 Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 10:57 pm Post subject: [solved]Can´t boot with YABOOT. Where is the fault? |
 |
|
Hello.
Ich newly installed Gentoo on my PowerMac Dual G4@1,83GHz. The only problem I got is with Yaboot.
As I rebooted my System, the Computer shows me the little "mac-face" on screen an spring to boot cdrom. So I have made something wrong on my yaboot.conf I guess.
I am able to boot Mac OS X manually by pressing Key OPTION on my Keyboard. But no way to boot Gentoo. No Yaboot-Function work at the moment here.
yaboot.conf
| Code: | boot=/dev/hdb4

So, where is my fault? I don´t understand it anymore. I have not much experience with yaboot.

Is your kernel in /boot?

Thanks for your help. But it has no affect to my Problem.
The system still jumps direct into CD Boot.

your bootkernel does still use old ide drivers? With new pata drivers, all the disks are now seen as scsi, so what used to be hda will now be sda, and the cdrom will be sr0.

sda and sdb don´t work here.
see it:
| Code: | livecd / # ybin -v
ybin: /dev/sdb4: No such file or directory |
hdb4 seems to be right.
| Code: | mkofboot -v t
ybin -v |
That was already made from me. That was not the fault.

Hello community.
I am now working again around 2 hours with yaboot. Is´s not getting better.
I seems to me, that yaboot don´t start. I don´t see the screen with the choice for Linux or MacOS X. The system still jumps directly to boot CD-Rom.

Hi Community.
Here is the yaboot.conf that works under my machine with Debian 7.0.
yaboot.conf
| Code: | ## yaboot.conf generated by debian-installer
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ
boot="/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST380021A_3HV336PZ-part4"
device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/@1
partition=5
root="UUID=43734cb4-0b79-4a85-83bd-1626775cace4"
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx="/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3400620A_5QH08YCP-part3"
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img.old |
Unfortunately this yaboot.config don´t work under Gentoo. Because /dev/disk/by-id/ is empty on my System.
I read that there is it possible to use hd:X instead of /dev/hdb. So what is the right hd:X for /dev/hdb4?

Yaboot starts, but only, when I go in OpenFirmware and then give the commando | Code: | | boot ultra1:4,yaboot |
.
So: What is my fault? Why Yaboot isn´t start automatically?

Now the problems solving! 
After I realized under OpenFirware, that my Gentoo-System is addressed by the "openfirmware-device" ULTRA1, I simply added the following to my yaboot.conf:
So my complete yaboot.conf is now this:
| Code: | boot=/dev/hdb4
device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/@1
ofboot=ultra1:4
partition=5
root=/dev/hdb6
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/hda3
image=/kernel-3.5.7-gentoo
label=Linux
read-only |
And yes. It work absolutely fine. I can´t believe it. It works.
If someone has problems with yaboot. Call me directly. Mostly I can help now!

hdX or sdY are Linux name conventions instead ofboot (as his own name) needs OpenFirmware name devices or alias.
