<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all!<BR>
<BR>
Currently we are encountering some problems with a fresh install on IBM OpenPower 720. After the stage 1 installer is finished the system is rebooting and complaining about a missing yaboot.conf. Thus the kernel location is not loaded and the machine refuses to boot. There is a LVM set up on that machine, could this be a problem?!<BR>
