1 Hello!

3 Having had no success with the 2005.1 disk, I am trying to reinstall
4 Gentoo from 2005.0 on my G4 iMac. This had been all right before, but
5 now I am meeting bootloader trouble. At my first attempt, ybin warned
6 me that "your kernel is too old". I wonder what the reference is, since
7 this install has never seen the Web. However, I put in a more recent
8 kernel (2.6.13.3), but it is also said to be too old, and I am still
9 having the same trouble: what happens is that the bootloader menu (with
10 "l for linux", etc) does not show, and that the machine boots directly
11 into Mac OS9.

13 Here is my yaboot.conf file. Is there anything wrong i it that could
14 explain this behaviour?
