Description Leonida 2004-07-05 12:25:46 UTC

On Handbook PPC in 'Compiling and Installing Kernel' paragraph is:
>Code Listing 13: Installing the kernel
>(Apple/IBM)  # cp vmlinux /boot/kernel-2.4.24  ('2.4.24' has to be update)

Then in 'Manual yaBoot Configuration', Code Listing 3: /etc/yaboot.conf is:
image=/boot/vmlinux
instead I suppose it has to be
image=/boot/kernel-2.4.24   ('2.4.24' has to be update)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run # cp vmlinux /boot/kernel-<update version #>
2.Edit /etc/yaboot.conf
3.Write, as in Handbook, in yaboot.conf file: image=/boot/vmlinux
4.Boot using Yaboot
Actual Results:  
Cannot find a kernel, desn't boot.

Expected Results:  
Booting

Same problem with:
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.24
and in 'Manual yaBoot Configuration', Code Listing 3' yaboot.conf code list is:
  sysmap=/boot/System.map

On my first Gentoo install I couldn't run yabootconfig, so I've to edit yaboot.conf.

As I follow step by step Handbook PPC, IMHO I think that all "dependencies"
between 'Installing the kernel' and yaboot.conf file have to be checked/update.

Thank. .L.
