Does your yaboot.conf file point to the kernel? If you are using yaboot it
is best to first put the kernel where yaboot it, and later copy the kernel
to /boot and set yaboot to boot from that location. The part of the
yaboot.conf file that points to the kernel images goes as follows:
image=hd:9,vmlinux <--- where the # is whatever partition the kernel is on
label=linux <--- the name of this configuration, when you hit tab it says
linux...
root=/dev/hda9 <--- wherever the root partition is
and then somathing like "append " something
I don't know anything about all the ///// and the like, so try and keep it
simple like above. Hope this help, if not I try again...
