Hello everyone,
I downloaded the debian netinstaller - debian-6.0.7-powerpc-netinst.iso - and installed on a p505. The installation process goes well, but the boot fails.
I tried using the LVM with multiple partitions and got this message
If you omit "device:" and "partno" yaboot will use the values of
"device=" and "partition=" in yaboot.conf, right now those are set to:
device=/vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1
partition=-1
And after a reinstall using the whole disk, no LVM I got:

"device=" and "partition=" in yaboot.conf, right now those are set to:
device=/vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1
partition=2
The other key message, same for both is:
Please wait, loading kernel...
Can't open device </vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1:0>
/vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/@1:2,/boot/vmlinux: Unable to open file, Invalid device
I have located a number of bugs with "Invalid device" in them
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641852
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637519
but these seem to be focused on issues with the installer and power7. My question is about after the installation.
How to proceed? How to document - better - what is wrong?
Thanks.
Michael
