Subject: [Debootloaders-yaboot] Bug#545874: yabootfconfig fails on LVM
Message-ID: <20090909175255.4673.24848.reportbug@empanada>

Package: yaboot
Version: 1.3.13a-1
Severity: normal

My root filesystem is on an LVM volume.
When I try to run yabootconfig, it complains:

# yabootconfig
yabootconfig: Unable to locate bootstrap partition on /dev/mapper/Empanada-root...
yabootconfig: You must create an 800K type: 0x41 PPC PReP Boot partition to make the disk bootable
#

I do have an 800kB partition of the right type (and indeed, I already have yaboot
working on this machine, I did it manually).
