[Debootloaders-yaboot] Bug#697813: yaboot: Yaboot does not allow TFTP transfers above 16MiB

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: yaboot
Version: 1.3.16-4
Severity: normal

Yaboot fails to load images larger than 16MiB, with the error:

  method 'load' failed 00000300

Ubuntu 12.04 precise ships a kernel larger than this, about 25MiB for the 
powerpc64 variant. What Ubuntu does to make a kernel so large is beyond me, 
the corresponding wheezy kernel is only a little over 11MiB, thankfully...


live well,
  vagrant
