After installing Gentoo and rebooting, yaboot will say the following message

/ht@0,f2000000/pci@5/k2-sata-root@c/k2-sata@1/disk@0:4, /vmlinux: No such
file or directory

Thing is, the /boot partition (sda4) HAS a vmlinux file, does exist, and is
a proper filesystem (ext2) that should be readable by yaboot.

-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The partitions mounted
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/gentoo type jfs (rw)
/dev/sda4 on /mnt/gentoo/boot type ext2 (rw)
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The yaboot.conf file
## yaboot.conf generated by yabootconfig 1.0.8
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ

boot=/dev/sda2
device=/ht@0,f2000000/pci@7/k2-sata-root@c/k2-sata@0/disk@0:
partition=4
root=/dev/sda5
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot

image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
append="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"
read-only

Why is this?

This error message is obviously wrong and hides the real error.
Reinstall yaboot with debug output activated and try again.

mk

It seems the fix was to just downgrade e2fsprogs down to 1.42.1 then it
booted Gentoo
perfectly. Seems to be a bug with Yaboot with newer e2fsprogs
