Fedora Core 4 Update: yaboot-1.3.12-10
Summary
yaboot is a bootloader for PowerPC machines which works on New World ROM
machines (Rev. A iMac and newer) and runs directly from Open Firmware,
eliminating the need for Mac OS.
Kernels later than 1.3.12-mm1 no longer provide symlinks in
/proc/device-tree. Yaboot's ofpath binary had a check for
BootX that would error in such a case, this update
eliminates that check so ofpath continues to work on FC4
kernel updates.
Impact is minimal as ofpath is not required to be run after
the initial install.
- Fix ofpath for 2.6.12-mm1 and later
