[gentoo-ppc-user] Problem with Booting built Kernel

[gentoo-ppc-user] Problem with Booting built Kernel

[Ranthor'Tey'Blackwing]

Hello,

When I try to boot up the kernel, I can get it to the screen which lets 
you select your boot option like
OS X or Linux or Cdrom, however when I select Linux, it promptly errors 
out and says
"Can not find second stage bootstrap"

I tried asking for help on #gentoo-ppc as well as looking on bugzilla.  
Neither of these provided any help.

If you could perhaps supply any ideas or point me in the right place to 
look, I would be most grateful.

Thanks
   RtB

Still stuck unfortunately.  I got it to boot thru yaboot and succeed in 
second stage bootstrap...But i'm not sure
how or why, I can't repeat it.

However when it loaded, I got a kernel panic saying it couldn't load 
root fs....

Thanks again

Here is fstab, yaboot.conf and mac-fdisk -l

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't

storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
