The yaBoot stuff wasn't in the standard kernel stuff I think until
2.2.17pre7 (NOT positive on that. Not positive that its in their now,
to be honest...)
It's definately NOT in 2.2.16
If you are building from source you grabbed from ftp.kernel.org get a
patch to bring it up to 2.2.17preXX
You can get the patch from people/alan in the kernel directory.
Also, you really may want to get the usb backport patch that applies
to standard source. If you do, don't get a 2.2.17pre patch newer that
2.2.17pre16
