I have what looks like the same problem for a long time too. While I
would love to know the solution, I have been living with the following
workaround:
- boot into open firmware,
- type 'boot hd:2,yaboot'
(changing the number to the # of your boot partition)
- now I get a working menu of linux boot options
No other combination of steps boots my dualG5 despite many attempts.
Hope this helps in the meantime!
