Spent about an hour looking for the Grub file so I could get my PPC to show verbose boot up. Then, all of a sudden, the light bulb went off. Yaboot not grub on PPC. D’oh!
Is there a way to enable verbose boot on PPC?
In your /etc/yaboot.conf file, the append statement is where you can control verbosity. I use “loglevel=4”.
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" nouveau.tv_disable=1 net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 loglevel=4"
Make changes in “/etc/yaboot.conf”, and then run “ybin” to save changes.

My yaboot.conf looks like this:
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet splash radeon.modeset=1 video=offb:off video=radeonfb:off video=1280x854-32 radeon.agpmode=-1"
A little different than yours. Any idea? Thanks.
The option “quiet” disables all boot messages. You probably don’t want the splash screen either.
If I remember correctly, when I installed, I had to enter that at boot up to be able to see anything. I’m kind of worried that if I change it, stuff’s not gonna work right at all. So, I’m not sure what to do from here. I guess it’s not a huge deal but, it would be nice to see what’s going on at boot up.
