Error Loading The Kernal on G4

[mascarasnake]

Hey Simon -

If I were a gambling man, I'd lay down a buck or two that yaboot is 
looking for the wrong partition. I had a similar problem the first time 
I installed YDL 3 on my B&W.

yaboot is looking for the kernel in partition 5 on the disk
	/pci at f000000/<blahblah>/disk at 0

You need to check and see if that's the right disk and partition for 
yaboot to be pointing too.

Thanks, by the way. You helped me decide to go ahead and install YDL4. 
Been tossing that ? around for weeks now.

If you need help interpreting the </pci at f000000/<blahblah>/disk at 0> 
stuff, post back - someone will help.

g'luck
