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.

Jason, Derrick
Many thanks for your prompt replies.
Jason, I edited as above and now I get pass the first stage of booting but
booting fails at the second stage:
ramdisk loaded at 01c00000, size 1326 bytes
Invalid memory access at ¹SRR0: 014080 e4 ¹SRR1: 00083030
Apple Powerbook6,8 4.90f0 Boot ROM built on 01/10/05 at 10:39:14 "etc.etc"
To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return
ok,
0 > _
If I type "mac-boot" I come back to the "Invalid memory access" message.

Unfortunately, you are now dragging me up onto the rocky shores of my
knowledge... so this is going to get a little experimental.
First thing I'd try is removing the initrd line from new-kernel section of
yaboot.conf. Since the error seems to be coming from the ramdisk, this
might solve the problem. Having an initrd image is not necessarily
needed, so that could fix the whole problem. If not, report back and we
can try building an initrd image from the new kernel.
