It sounds like to me that you don't have the proper filesystem drivers |
2 |
built into your kernel. |
3 |
|
4 |
What filesystem for linux are you using? It needs to be built as <*>, |
5 |
not <M>. |
6 |
|
7 |
You should be using Linux naming for your hardrive in your yaboot.conf. |
8 |
|
9 |
Please post the output from "mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda" (minus the quotes |
10 |
please). |
11 |
|
12 |
Also post your /etc/yaboot.conf so we can see if that is setup |
13 |
correctly. |
