Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

Hi,

2.6.19 work smoothly. 2.6.20 fail to mount root at boottime. root=/dev/sda4 seems wrong. however, it works with 2.6.19. Do i need yaboot.conf modification ?

Yes, i modified the yaboot.conf since ubuntu needed hard tweak to get installed on this box (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacG5revC )

Étienne.
