ok, i was lucky to found 1.3.17-rc1 sources and binaries (built as i did for 
1.3.16-3)  on my laptop.
With these binaries:
http://cruxppc.org/~acrux/yaboot-bin-1.3.17-rc1-1.tar.xz
there is the same failure as with 1.3.17 to load kernels.

Btw, 9114-275 is a quite common machine... no owners here? 
Well, thus next step is build a yaboot with debug features.
