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

Shouldn't matter what you call it, as long as you tell yaboot the same
name.

Aha! Things have changed from the old days. Aparently the "partition=6"
line is telling yaboot to look for the boot files on partition 6 (hence
the hda0,6 portion of the error message you were receiving).
Try removing the "boot" from the second section. In other words:
image=/vmlinux-2.6.17.7
label=audio-linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1.img
root=/dev/hda4
append="rhgb quiet"
Hopefully, that will do the trick.
