Actually that was someone else. My install said it worked fine on all the
RPMs. I had one dependecy that it requested off CD 1 which seemed to go okay.
I was booting fine just the leaving X problem. Just to try it, i did the
mkinitrd and ran ybin. the yaboot.conf seems okay in light of the symlinks
in /boot, unless it has to go down the list aways. This didn't seem to help
so I went back to 2.2 again.
I would be happy to test anything you come up with. This isn't a working
machine, just a home one. Imac DV 400
