Hi, there are three small fixed needed in the ppc64 handbook. 1. Preparing the disks -> mac-fdisk -> bootblock -> partitions should be 2p not 1p etc.: all partition numbers have to be 'partition number + 1', because I forgot - when I wrote this - that the first partition is used for the partition map itself (this is a mac specific 'feature'..) 2. Kernel configuration: Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Generic /dev/rtc emulation -> not needed, drop it from handbook. 3. And it would be great if this small example yaboot config file could be added to 'Configuring the Bootloader -> 10.c. Using yaboot on IBM' -------- SNIP -------- device=disk: partition=2 root=/dev/sda2 default=2.6.8-gentoo-r3 timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 label=2.6.8-gentoo-r3 append="console=ttyS0,9600" read-only -------- SNIP -------- Thx! Markus
