Hi,
it seems I've found a problem why neither root on lvm or ext4 doesn't work.
It is just not implemented in our lilo (yaboot wrapper). To workaround
that, you need to manually create /boot on ext2 (or ext3) during
installation.

I wonder if somebody tried openSUSE 11.1 or SLES11 with this scenario
on powermac.
In order to fix that we need to fix yast2-storage so it will put /boot
on ext2 or ext3 partition.

JFYI tested that on 12.2 (build 22). Should work on Factory as well.

Have fun,
Dinar
