From my understanding as a newbie, if you updated your vmlinux and now if
you have more than one vmlinux on your system, you may need to make sure
your file yaboot.conf is pointing to the correct file. In my case, when I
updated, I altered my yaboot.conf to read:
image = hd:9,\vmlinux-2.2.17pre20-ben3
label = linux
root = /dev/hda11
append="video=aty128fb:vmode:17,cmode:24"
where 9 is the partition where it's located and the one \ is for the level
it is located on the HD and the "vmlinux-2.2.17pre20-ben3" is the name of
the updated vmlinux file. The original vmlinux file was labeled merely
vmlinux.
lalala, not sure if this helps at all, but thought I would throw it out. So
far I am happily dual booting fine with the help of a bootinfo.txt on my G4
and up and running on the net. I am working on learning all the nifty linux
commands and things to do and see.
