Whew! You had me worried when you said the original kernel didn't boot.

It seems the bootloader is looking for /boot/vmlinux-2.6.17.7 and not finding it. Have you checked to see if it is there? Make sure you remembered to copy the newly built vmlinux to the /boot directory. And also check that the name you gave it matches the one in /etc/yaboot.conf. It could be a simple typo like vmlinux_2.6.17.7 verus vmlinux-2.6.17.7.

If that all checks out, we can try to go from there.

Hi Jason

Yes to all of the above. I am wondering if the ".ydl.1" suffix is of any importance at all?
