I'm seeing similar behaviour to comment 9 in this bug.  I installed from
test2 but have been updating regularly since.  I can't boot any kernels
other than 'linux-up'.

/etc/yaboot.conf:

# yaboot.conf generated by anaconda

boot=/dev/sda3
init-message=Welcome to Fedora Core\!
Hit <TAB> for boot options

partition=5
timeout=20
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
delay=5
default=latest-smp
image=/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1268_FC4smp
	label=latest-smp
	read-only
	initrd=/initrd-2.6.11-1.1268_FC4smp.img
	append="rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/1"

[...]

image=/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
	label=linux-up
	read-only
	initrd=/initrd-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4.img
	append="rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/1"

macosx=/dev/sda4
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot

/proc/cpuinfo:
[...]
motherboard:  PowerMac7,3 MacRISC4 Power Macintosh
detected as:  336 (PowerMac G5)

Anyone have any ideas?

Andrew
