Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------

Package:	yaboot	
Issue Date: 	December 08, 2001
Priority:	medium	
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20011208-8


1. 	Topic:

	New yaboot packages are available which provide more
	robust parsing code and filesystem support.

2. 	Problem:

	The version of yaboot that shipped with YDL 2.1 implimented
	new boot path parsing code that broke netbooting.  This update
	fixes the parson code further, adds IBM CHRP support, and
	adds support for the ext3 filesystem and IBM's JFS filesystem.

3. 	Solution:

   	a) Updating via yup...
   	We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup)
   	to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
   	automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
   	this update onto your system:

   		yup update yaboot 

   	b) Updating manually...
   	The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
   	below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
   	the update.  (Please use a mirror site)

   		ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.1/ppc/
                rpm -Fvh yaboot-1.3.6-1a.ppc.rpm
