Hi, thanks for your anwers, this is a great comunity, but nobody respond really to my problem, like i said i doing some tests on a blade power6 js22 with the testing debian powerpc linux dist, wich have problems after installing when i try to boot, i think when is loading the initrd, and stop when it says "hypertas detected, assuming lpar", the server has installed ivm(virtual i/o server) with lpar configuration, i suposse the problem was with the yaboot and the openfirmware, the problem was solved, installing the las yaboot version 1.3.14 from this link http://yaboot.ozlabs.org/, wich is newer tha the version 1.3.13 that comes with the lenny powerpc from week 15/12/08, if this version only have 3 fixs like you said it works to solve the problem, if you can upload this version to the dist like you said " I will *not* upload a *new* package *blindly* which may break yaboot-installer, thus d-i, while the current package just works", i would like if you can tell how to do it, how to costumize the original version bootloader with this yaboot 1.3.14 the easiest way to continue doing some test, because i couldnt boot the machine without this upgrade, thanks a lot for your help, i very aprecciate.
