Mark,
Can you post your /etc/fstab? I just want to give it a once over.
Thanks.

Mark,
Did you compile in your ext2/ext3 support as a module or statically into the
kernel? If you compiled them as modules, then you need to create an inirtrd
that includes the drivers to load on boot.
Just a thought.

Could the root device now be referred to as /dev/sda4 (SCSI Disk
support) with the kernel now loading?
You should be able to pass the root device to the kernel at boot time
(root=/dev/sda4).
If you are able to get past the root filesystem check (the disk is
referred to as sda instead of hda),
Barry,
That's a good idea. I forgot about that. I was was going to suggest that
Mark verify that he's compiling the right drive controller driver, but if
that was the case, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he did.

Sections 9.2 and 9.3 show how to boot to the yaboot 'boot:' prompt and
start the kernel with parameters.
Hope that helps you get started.
If you do change the yaboot.conf file don't forget to run ybin to
update the boot partit
