sorry this won't work, yaboot has no such option `video=' so the
kernel never sees this. the correct way is:
image=hd:11,/boot/vmlinux-2.4.3
label=debian24
root=/dev/hda11
append="video=aty128fb"
or a better way for your image line:
device=hd:
partition=11
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.3
label=debian24
root=/dev/hda11
append="video=aty128fb"

the ONLY exception is `novideo' which yaboot translates to append="video=ofonly"
