[Bug 1606089] Re: unable to boot after 'entire disk' install (16.10, ppc)

[Herminio]

No one ever placed a bug report in Gentoo it was only discussed in the
forums. I just recently came across it in Debian. I am planning to place
a bug report there.

Title:
  unable to boot after 'entire disk' install (16.10, ppc)

Status in yaboot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just did an entire disk install from todays (24.07.2016) Yakkety
  daily. Installation procedure went fine, but the automatically created
  /etc/yaboot.conf seems faulty.

  1st stage-boot runs fine, the boot options are displayed correctly,
  pressing "L" leaves me at the 2nd stage boot prompt where you can
  choose between "Linux" and "old" boot options. But either of them does
  not work, throwing the error message:

  "/pci at f4000000/ata-6 at d/@0:3,/boot/vmlinux: unknown or corrupt
  filesystem"

  To rule out other issues I did an openfirmware reset, wiped /dev/sda
  and tried a second time with a fresh mac partition table. But the
  problem stays the same, 16.10 is not bootable on my PowerBook 5,6. It
  did run 16.04 before.

  Partition layout is the standard created by "entire disk" install, /dev/sda4 is swap.
  /dev/sda2: LABEL="bootstrap" TYPE="hfs" PARTLABEL="untitled"
  /dev/sda3: UUID="b7bdb9a4-7316-4966-aa65-1d546b211204" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="untitled"

  ## yaboot.conf generated by the Ubuntu installer
  boot="/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST9808211A_3LF2VVGH-part2"
  device=/pci at f4000000/ata-6 at d/@0
  partition=3
  root="UUID=b7bdb9a4-7316-4966-aa65-1d546b211204"
  timeout=50
