Description of problem: The installation of Fedora 7 test4 on multiple multipath SAS disks works fine. yaboot tries to boot the installation but fails with the following error message: --------------- 0 > boot disk1 Trying to load: from: /axon@10000000000/plb5/plb4/pcix@4000004600000000/scsi@ 2/disk@0,13,f ...

Changing the default partitioning layout to the following solves the problem. Note that the PReP and the /boot partition are on the same disk. LVM Group 00 -> LogVol01 swap 2GB -> LogVol00 / ext3 206GB mapper/mpath0 -> PPC PReP Boot 8MB -> /boot ext3 102MB -> VolGroup00 138GB mapper/mpath1 -> VolGroup00 68GB
Please attach a compressed tarball of /proc/device-tree Please also test yaboot 1.3.14rc2 available from yaboot.ozlabs.org built with DEBUG=1
Thanks for the quick reply. I created a new installer with the latest yaboot and compiled with DEBUG=1. But mysteriously the default partitioning layout is now always correct. I suggest to close this bug as unreproducible as the default partitioning layout is correct now. But thanks anyway for your help.
