Hi Eric, I just remembered something about the device field in yaboot.conf file. Can you send the result of your last yabootconfig please ? Before a yabootconfig can you do some tests : what is the result of the ofpath command ? xavier Le mardi 12 juin 2007 à 12:42 -0400, Eric Benoit a écrit :Hi xavier, I think I want to check if my open firmware is correct first. I was able to run yabootconfig following your directions. I guess I just need to know whether or not I can rule out that it is a mis configuration of open firmware or yaboot, before I start messing around, can you help? Thanks.xavier grave wrote:Le mardi 12 juin 2007 à 09:52 -0400, Eric Benoit a écrit :I have a Apple G4 server model M5183.

As soon as possible : execute a shell in in mount your / partition on /target for example. Then : # chroot /target # mount /proc # mount -a # yabootconfig # umount -a # umout /proc # exit # umount /target This procedure should able you to play with yaboot in order to find where the problem can be... Hope it will help. xavier
