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. |
