Forgot to insert my yaboot.conf ... sorry:

The following helps me booting *at least* to 2.6.10 .. I'm not sure I
ever tried booting the rest of the kernels from the following yaboot.conf.

And as you can see, I only have a line
device=hd:
not the complicated incantation you have in your "device=" line:

--------------------------
boot=/dev/hda2
device=hd:
partition=4
root=/dev/hda4
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
default=Linux.2.6.10
enablecdboot


image=/vmlinux
        label=Linux.2.6.10
        initrd=/initrd.img
        read-only

image=/vmlinux.old
	label=Linux.2.6.8
	initrd=/initrd.img.old	
	read-only
	
image=/vmlinux.2.4
	label=Linux.2.4
	read-only
----------------------------
