Ok, well, I've never made an initrd image, but from the man page,
it looks pretty simple. Like this:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.17.7.img 2.6.17.7
This generates the compressed archive as expected.
Try "man mkinitrd" or "info mkinitrd" to read about it. Then add
the "initrd" line back into yaboot.conf, but this time pointing
to the new initrd image:
initrd=/initrd-2.6.17.7.img
Done.
You might also consider pointing yaboot at the new system map
with the line:
sysmap=/System.map-2.6.17.7
(assuming that's what you called it.)
With and without the sysmap line, I get the same "Invalid memory
access" error. It seems that there still remains one or more
omitted steps.

Thanks for all your help thus far.

Hmmph. I'm sorry to say, but you've got me stumped. You might
want to post a query on the yellowdog general list, and see of one
of those smart people knows what's going wrong. I wish I could
help more, but I'm out of ideas. I'll keep it in the back of my
head, and if something comes to me in my sleep, I'll let you know.

From experience, there's bound to be a later (kernel) release that
should work. :-)
We must just remember to add the above-mentioned steps to the
detailed HOWTO that you have already given to us.....
You're right. This was indeed a positive learning experience for me.
Regards.
