<p>Between the GA2 and GA3 firmware on IBM JS21 blades, a change was made that prevents yaboot from loading its configuration file over the network with the newer firmware. The following patches fix the problem (with the exception of the scenario for booting across a router). This has been tested on JS21 with GA3 firwmare, but not on JS21 with GA2 firmware or any other systems yet.<br>
