I chrooted into the newly installed system and downgraded the kernel to
2.6.39-bpo.2-powerpc. I could then get into my system without any kernel
module errors.
The problem seems to be linux-image-3.0.0-1-powerpc (3.0.0-3)

I used the latest netboot image:

I tried to install a base system. Installation went fine, yaboot
installed ok too. At reboot I am thrown into a busybox shell. The
error messages I get are:
Gave up waiting for a root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/long-number does not exist. Dropping to a
shell!

It has nothing to do with yaboot as I also installed on another
computer where I skipped yaboot installation (I had yaboot working
fine). I get the same errors on that machine. It seems it has
something to do with some kernel modules.
