Title:
  Yaboot fails to load Lubuntu 16.04 LTS

Status in Lubuntu Software Center:
  New
Status in yaboot package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  Installation of Ubuntu succeeds on a PowerMac G5 2.0 DP (Mid-2004 - M9455LL/A - PowerMac7,3 - A1047 - 1969C), but
  Yaboot does not load the OS afterwards.

  
  This was tested at first on a multiboot configuration (together with MacOS X Leopard) and later on a single partition (=Linux) configuration to no avail. The target is a Intel 320 SSD rested in the lower bay (B).

  In the latter (more basic) configuration Yaboot starts at least right
  away (no manual load through OpenFirmware needed) but still can't
  properly initiate the Linux boot.

  Error msg:

  Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.16
  Enter "help" to get some basic usage information
  boot: Linux
  Please wait, loading kernel...
  PARTITION is not a number/ht at 0,f2000000/pci at 7/k2-sata-root at c/@ffffffffffffffff/@0:2,/boot/vmlinux: Unknown or corrupt filesystem
