After much fooling around, was able to get original kernel version of FC4 to boot. Did a yum update to newest kernel and have been unable to get past the kernel panic. Reloaded original kernel several times and that went well until trying an update. Back to "2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-ppc" and ready to settle at that unless somebody has been there and resolved the issue already. Thanks, Pete

Can you try grabbing the ofpath from http://people.redhat.com/pnasrat/ofpath
And tell me what the output is from running that (replace /dev/sda2 with what ever boot= line in yaboot.conf is set to):
./ofpath --debug /dev/sda2

Not ofpath. Could you give some detail on the actual panic you are seeing.

Paul, Maybe "kernel panic" is not correct. What happened was after the first time that I upgraded the kernel with yum, it still wanted to default to my original kernel. I then booted "opt" to the new kernel by selecting it manually. It gives you a quick open script and then when it should switch to screen 2 for bootup it hangs and nothing happens.
Second time with all new reloads of Mac 10.4.6 and 1369 linux loaded all worked as you would hope. Did the yum update and this time yaboot realized that I had a 2nd kernel, choose it for me and the same hangup happened.
I am now reloaded for the 3rd time and running 1369 without a problem. Would love to update but I'm getting older as I go and wishing doesn't make it happen.
My first instinct was that the later kernel simply isn't for my older G4 package....no clue. Pete
