Hi Andy and welcome to the newbie list,
Which eMac do you have?  It must be one of the original ones because 
the new ones won't even boot OS 9, other than in Classic mode within OS 
X.
To improve your resolutions in MOL run molvconfig again and make sure 
you go through all of the possible choices for your resolution even if 
they are generic ones.  Sometimes they work better.
The problem with not being able to boot back into your drive is in part 
due to the fact that once you install Linux and yaboot you should never 
use the startup disk control panel, because it looses your yaboot 
settings.  Sometimes resetting the PRAM works.  Try holding down 
command-option-P-R when you startup and let it chime 3 times and see 
what you get.

is my first post to the newbie list so I'd like to say hello to
everyone out there. I installed YDL on my eMac about a week ago and
I'm enjoying the speed of the OS compared to OS X 10.3.5, but I've
come across a few problems which include not being able to print to my
Epson Stylus and very poor resolution when using Mac on Linux. I
noticed something else today; I chose Mac OS 9.2.2 as my startup disk
in OS X's System Preferences and after restarting the computer I get
the flashing question mark icon. I then must restart and hold down
option-command-shift-delete to start up from my external FireWire
drive which is a carbon copy of my hard drive except it doesn't have
YDL (not partitioned). I can start up in OS 9.2.2 or OS X with no
problems on the external drive but OS 9.2.2 on the internal drive will
not start up. Is this related to my installing YDL? Thanks everyone.</color></fontfamily></excerpt></excerpt>
