This is very confusing. I'm still booting on 2.2.15 for some reason! Here
are the facts:
I am using a dual-boot open firmware solution to choose between Mac OS and
YDL. Info is here:
http://www.infersys.com/~irilyth/open-firmware-dual-boot.html)
It basically lets you switch between Mac OS and yaboot using the open
firmware commands: boot -or- boot macos.
Anyway, my yaboot.conf file is:
init-message = "\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux!\nHit <TAB> for boot
options.\n\n"
timeout = 150
default = linux
image = hd:8,\vmlinux
label=linux
root=/dev/hda9
#novideo
append = "video=aty128fb:vmode:17,cmode:24"
#append = "video=aty128fb:vmode:20,cmode:24"
image = cd:,\\\\vmlinux
label = install
initrd = cd:,\\\\ramdisk.image.gz
novideo
So, it should be using the "vmlinux" sym-link.
ls -al /boot shows:
vmlinux -> vmlinux-2.2.17-0.6.1
vmlinux-2.2.17-0.6.1
vmlinux-2.2.17-0.6.1smp
vmlinux-smp -> vmlinux-2.2.17-0.6.1smp
Hmmm... But in /var/log/messages, I see:

...which includes errors such as these:

/lib/modules/2.2.15-2.9.0/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
...which of course causes many other errors to follow...
Any ideas why this isn't working??
