On my IBM power4+ (9114-275) Yaboot 1.3.17 fails to boot anything. I get the following message from the system : --------------------------------------------------------------- Elapsed time since release of system processors: 3 mins 15 secs Config file read, 4096 bytes Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.17 Enter "help" to get some basic usage information boot: * linux boot: Please wait, loading kernel...

I am not sure the best action here. Or if this effects other power4+ users or just this machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install yaboot-static 2. Try to boot the machine 3. Fail Actual Results: Machine fails boots Expected Results: machine boots
I no longer have this machine.
