[ydl-gen] Problem with yaboot/YDL 4.0.1

[Keith Mitchell]

Hi,

I installed using the YDL 4.0.1 cd's with the following partitioning in 
the ks file:

clearpart --all
part None --size=1 --fstype="Apple Bootstrap"
part /boot --size=500
part swap --size=4096 --grow --maxsize=8096
part / --size=4352 --grow --maxsize=6144
part /var --size=500 --grow --maxsize=2048
part /var/tmp --size=500 --grow --maxsize=2048
part /scratch --size=1024 --grow


I just tried to update my kernel to a custom RPM that I built and 
discovered that yaboot doesn't work.  When the kernel rpms install, I see:

Failed to initialize HFS working directories: Permission denied
ybin: /dev/sda2 appears to have never had a bootstrap installed, please run mkofboot


A 'pdisk' dump of the /dev/sda filesystem:

I did some investigation and it looks like hmount (called by ybin) does 
not like this /dev/sda2 partition.  I can, however, use 'mount -t hfs' 
to mount the partition.

Has anyone else run into this?  Is there a fix?

Thanks.
