OK I have solved this. (kinda) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I download the Debain yaboot package. |
| 4 |
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/yaboot |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I copied "/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot" from the extracted deb file and wrote that to disk with : |
| 7 |
"dd if=/tmp/yaboot of=/dev/sda1" |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Now yaboot loads my kernel, without throwing a "DEFAULT CATCH". |
| 10 |
It would seem the yaboot-static package is broken for my machine type. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Now to find out why the kernel crashes on boot... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Thanks |
