It may be a yaboot/ext3 incompatibility. Your version of yaboot may not know how to mount a needs-recovery ext3 filesystem. There are some words on this at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html
I am told that yaboot 1.3.5 and later will do the right thing. What version are you using?
