I have been experiencing some issues with OS X Leopard and had to reinstall 10.5.5 and then use Time Machine to get the rest of my system back on track. Since I did this, Yaboot doesn't show at boot time anymore. The weird thing is that if I hold down the option (alt) key until I get a graphic screen showing the boot partitions that I have, I can choose the Linux icon and then Yaboot kicks in. I can choose which boot partition to choose from, this time from Yaboot. My Ubuntu 8.04 system boots just fine after that.what do I have to do to sort out Yaboot?

Cheers

Boot Linux holding down the opt - key. Open a terminal and run``` ybin -v

Restart to check that yaboot works again
