Really Frustrated:

To fix your problem:

Step1:  Select shutdown from whatever system you are in.
Step2: Go to the kitchen and fix yourself a nice cup of Tension Tamer 
Tea.
Step3: Go to the deck and enjoy your tea while your assess your 
computer's state.
Step4: Boot YellowDog and log in as root.
Step5: Type exactly (no quotes)  'pdisk -l'
Step5: Cut the entire output and post back to the list so our resident 
disk format expert Natalie can have a look.
Step6: Wait for a response.
Step7: If you can't wait, a possibility is to boot your OS 9 install CD 
and use that system to copy your important files to a safe place. (If 
your trackball doesn't work when booted from the install CD then you 
have a hardware problem)

The reason I make these suggestions is that it appears that the list is 
thrashing trying to figure out the problem but information keeps  
wiggling.  I, for one am unable to follow all the  permutations of what 
the hardware state is and what systems are installed where.  Just a 
suggestion.
