I do not know if anyone else is having this issue but if you make any changes to yaboot.conf and try up date the bootloader with 'ybin -v' and reboot, the system will not start. I needed reinstall Jessie set up my yaboot.conf the way I wanted it updated the bootloader and then upgrade to Stretch. I have the same issue in Gentoo, thankfully there I can just load the live cd and do my changes. I found that the current version of yaboot 1.3.17 is broken (at least in my experience). The only solution I have seen is to downgrade to 1.3.16. I have also heard that yaboot is no longer been maintained upstream as well. I researched and found that the website is down so I am thinking this is correct. I have not seen any reports on this in BTS so I wondering if this is even a universal problem. I am that someone can confirm if the is the case or not. Finally does any know if migrating to grub2 is a viable option for ppc and ppc64? Thanks Herminio
