Can you also attach the yaboot.conf generated by the installer. And a printout of the partitions. A pointer in the standards to your expectations of behaviour, and the output of a boot with a yaboot built with debugging enabled would be useful. Is the JS20 SLOF definition of yaboot still pretty accurate: \ Where files are loaded. Not the same as where they are executed. 10000 CONSTANT load-base \ Load secondary boot loader from disk @ sector 63. 512kB should be enough. : read-yaboot 3f 400 load-base disk-read ; : yaboot cr ." Reading..." read-yaboot ." relocating..." load-base load-elf-file ." go!" start-elf ; The yaboot definition has not really changed, this is out current code:
10000 CONSTANT LOAD-BASE

OK parted /dev/hda print and can you try setting boot-device to be /disk: (no partition) and test that please. I don't understand: "OK parted /dev/hda print" Should I do something? Sorry.
Yaboot works also with boot-device set to /disk: (didn't knew that this was
possible). As yaboot is able to find its configuration file with this
information this could also be something the firmware could set as default value
in the nvram (if that makes sense).

Sorry the parted was supposed to be run from the running system - don't panic. Setting to the device: not device:,N is what we expect on CHRP (which we pretend Cell is, and I believe you were trying to make SLOF on Cell compliant with the extensions of) and I believe would be consistent with other boxes you ship. I think this would be a sensible default as it doesn't assume anything about disk layout. Again if you let me know exactly what parts of the 1275 standard you are following (or if you have a 1275 platform binding paper for Cell) for boot procedure I can check if yaboot's assumptions are correct. We can not set nonvram on cell, if it's really required too. >I think this would be a sensible default as it doesn't assume anything about

You make it sound like if we have a plan or a written specification :-)
I cannot say anything about this because I do not know it.
We will now set boot-device to /disk: and then there are no changes required in
anaconda. Thanks for your help.
