This is caused by a known bug on yaboot and XFS that afects initrd images build using initramfs and yaird (the old mkinitrd images DO work, though). The bug is not assigned to yaboot, but I've found a that includes an explanation: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336993 I solved the issue making a small ext3 /boot partition to put my initrd there and now standard kernels work (I'm using initramfs right now); luckily I made a 1Gb swap partition when I first installed the machine and was able to split that one in two instead of reinstalling.
