Yaboot patch to get the conf file

[Radu Molnar]

Hello all,
I'm using yaboot 1.3.16 to do a network boot. This works fine on a POWER5 machine, but on a POWER6 machine, after yaboot is downloaded and launched, it doesn't request the conf file from the tftp server, it just sits in the yaboot prompt.

I know that RedHat somehow fixed the problem, in the yaboot version they distribute with RHEL6, which is 1.3.14. My question is, anyone know which one of their patches addresses this specific problem? Their src.rpm contains several patches.
