First of all, make a backup of your yaboot.conf
Code:
sudo cp /etc/yaboot.conf /etc/yaboot.conf-backup
You need to specify in yaboot.conf following:
1. The filesystem path to the kernel image (image=)
2. The related ramdisk image for the kernel you want to load (initrd=)
Since it seems that you want to boot the kernel 'vmlinux-2.6.15-52-powerpc', make a symlink to that kernel with the name 'vmlinux.oldest' (or whatever you want) and a symlink to its ramdisk image with 'initrd.img.oldest' (or whatever you want):
Code:
sudo ln -s /boot/vmlinux-2.6.15-52-powerpc /boot/vmlinux.oldest
Code:
sudo ln -s /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-52-powerpc /boot/initrd.img.oldest
Your yaboot.conf should look like this:
Code:
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet splash"
root = /dev/hda8
image=/boot/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
append="quiet splash"
root = /dev/hda8
image=/boot/vmlinux.oldest
label=oldest
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.oldest
append="quiet splash"
root = /dev/hda8
Save the file and run ybin
Restart your computer, at the boot: prompt, hit TAB. Now you should see the three kernels, that you can choose: Linux, old and oldest. Type 'oldest' (or the label you hace choosen to select the vmlinux-2.6.15-52-powerpc kernel).

P.S. I'm not sure, that your system will work, but you can try anyway…
