FWIW, if you think the initrd isn't being loaded, you may have run into
a limitation with Yaboot.

You have to keep in mind that Yaboot isn't being actively maintained
anymore, at least not as it used to be. So in case of an incompatible
change on the kernel side, you may run into such problems with the
bootloader.

You could try switching to GRUB.
