Description Peter Jones 2005-08-16 17:50:30 UTC 
Description of problem: anaconda/booty creates a new yaboot.conf on a fresh
install on pSeries with this partition layout:

sda1: PPC PReP Boot
sda2: /boot
sda3: RAID-1 /
sdb1: swap
sdb2: RAID-1 /

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.44.2-1 (fixed in
0.44.3-1)


How reproducible: Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
Install.  Reboot, watch the box not come up.
  
Actual results:
Box doesn't boot.

Expected results:
Box should boot.

Additional info: this code change only affects ppc, but it needs to be tested
both with RAID /boot and without.
