DO NOT USE NORTONS on the yaboot bootstrap partition. They will
'unbless' it and make it unbootable, and you'll have to do some magic
(run ybin after booting off CD) to get it back.
I don't know anything about the specific error you mention above; I just
know that you don't use Norton's on a yaboot bootstrap partition. It
works doesn't it? The partition shouldn't be touched in daily use - only
when you install a new linux kernel. So the partition should be fine.
