I tried also "/mnt/sysimage/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667" and got the same error.

I am pretty sure it said "/dev/had". I can't reproduce it now since yaboot worked after I did the following. I re-ran the install CDs and updated FC3. Then I edited "/etc/fstab" with "/dev/hda11" instead of "LABEL=/" in the first line and did "chroot /mnt/sysimage". After that yaboot worked.

Now if only I can get the gui work on my iBook G3...
