couple of questions: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
which TiBook is this? I assume an older version as AFAIK the 1.2 will |
| 13 |
not boot with the newer as there are some kernel issues (these have |
| 14 |
since been resolved in the benh kernel tree). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Which filesystem are you using? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Did you run "ybin -v" from the chroot after editing yaboot.conf? |

Right after NET4.0 in the init process is kswapd, which will start the |
| 25 |
block device driver, it's possible something is missing from your kernel |
| 26 |
or that there is somethig askew in your yaboot.conf .. it's very |
| 27 |
difficult for me to tell without further info. |

nothing here that i recognize. greping through the kernel tree i can't |
| 33 |
see anything that might resemble this error. |
