Hi Jason

Yes to all of the above. I am wondering if the ".ydl.1" suffix is of  
any importance at all?

root at localhost ~]# ls /boot
config-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1      lost+found                    
System.map-2.6.17.7
etc                          System.map                    
vmlinux-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1
initrd-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1.img  System.map-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1   
vmlinux-2.6.17.7

[root at localhost ~]# more /etc/yaboot.conf
# yaboot.conf generated by anaconda

boot=/dev/hda3
init-message="Welcome to Yellow Dog Linux! Hit <TAB> for boot options."
partition=6
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
delay=10
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/hda2

image=/vmlinux-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1
         label=linux
         read-only
         initrd=/initrd-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1.img
         root=/dev/hda4
         append="rhgb quiet"

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.17.7
         label=audio-linux
         read-only
         initrd=/initrd-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1.img
         root=/dev/hda4
         append="rhgb quiet"

Regards.
