[Bug 1367448] Re: kernel 3.16.0-14-powerpc-smp won't boot

[Walter Lapchynski]

sounds like something similar happened in lucid or hardy where the
kernel was bigger than yaboot could handle. that may NOT be the problem,
but it needs some testing.

there's some talk of going to grub2 as a default bootloader rather than
yaboot but it's extremely doubtful that will happen in time for release,
so i'd start checking older kernels.
