Title:
  Yaboot fails to load ubuntu-MATE 16.04 LTS

Status in yaboot package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installation of Ubuntu succeeds on a PowerMac G5 2.0 DP (Mid-2004 - M9455LL/A - PowerMac7,3 - A1047 - 1969C), but
  Yaboot does not load the OS afterwards.

  
  This was tested at first on a multiboot configuration (together with MacOS Leopard) and later on a single partition (=Linux) configuration to no avail. The target is a Intel 320 SSD rested in the lower bay (B).

  In the latter (more basic) configuration Yaboot starts right away but
  still can't properly initiate the Linux boot.

  Error msg:

  Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.16
  Enter "help" to get some basic usage information
  boot: Linux
  Please wait, loading kernel...
  PARTITION is not a number/ht at 0,f2000000/pci at 7/k2-sata-root at c/@ffffffffffffffff/@0:2,/boot/vmlinux: Unknown or corrupt filesystem
