This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Can you please checkout cobbler? See https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/PowerPc At the least, you shouldn't boot linux kernel directly from openfirmware. Please follow some guideline; for example http://wiki.ppckernel.org/w/Mac_Netboot (In reply to comment #4) > At the least, you shouldn't boot linux kernel directly from openfirmware. > Please follow some guideline; for example > http://wiki.ppckernel.org/w/Mac_Netboot Here's the guideline I've followed: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG247940/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm Chapter 4.10.1 and http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/LinuxP/Network+Installation Worked like a charme for SLES, btw I didn't boot directly from openfirmware, but from SMS. Cobbler isn't an alternative if you've an existing AIX-infrastructure and can use NIM. I see. So the bug is not in yaboot, because you are not using it. Correct.
