due to bug #406081, I couldn't try w/ sys-boot/yaboot-1.3.17 though, using sys-boot/yaboot-1.3.16 on sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3.0 (or, sys-fs/udev-182-r2?), I got, # /usr/sbin/ybin -v ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/sda2'... cat: /sys/devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0d.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/../../../devspec: No such file or directory ybin: Unable to find OpenFirmware path for boot=/dev/sda2 ybin: Please add ofboot=<path> where <path> is the OpenFirmware path to /dev/sda2 to /etc/yaboot.conf ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/sda4'... cat: /sys/devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0d.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/../../../devspec: No such file or directory ybin: Unable to determine OpenFirmware path for macosx=/dev/sda4 ybin: Try specifying the real OpenFirmware path for macosx=/dev/sda4 in /etc/yaboot.conf above error message shows ybin does "cat" devspec under "/sys/..." but fails. the "cat" was called from /usr/sbin/ofpath, $ grep -n devspec /usr/sbin/ofpath 79:### Find the devspec for the controller 89: sd*|sg*|sr*) CONTROLLER_PATH=$(cat ${DEVPATH}/../../../devspec) ;; 90: hd*) CONTROLLER_PATH=$(cat ${DEVPATH}/../../devspec) ;; and random "find" shot to "/sys/...", I realized devspec move to upper hierarchy (but I dunno why), $ find '/sys/devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0d.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/../../..' -name 'devspec' [no output] $ find '/sys/devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0d.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/../../../..' -name 'devspec' /sys/devices/pci0002:20/0002:20:0d.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/../../../../devspec so updating /usr/sbin/ofpath:89 solves this problem like this, 89: sd*|sg*|sr*) CONTROLLER_PATH=$(cat ${DEVPATH}/../../../../devspec) ;; # added one more ".." before "devspec" and reboot works fine to me.

I can confirm this problem too and also confirm that the additional "../" seems to fix it.
FYI, sys-boot/yaboot-1.3.17-r1 + sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3.4 still have same issue.
I can't seem to reproduce this on my machine. Can you please add your kernel config to this bug? Thanks!

Comment on attachment 311255 [details] Patch for the error you Whoops, I pressed enter before I finished typing. Sorry about that! Here's a patch which should fix your problem. Please give it a try and if it works for you, I'll add it to the latest yaboot package. Thanks!

Great, I'll stable this change (in -r2 for yaboot / -r1 for yaboot-static) when we mark 3.3.x stable! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
