    Mkay, I can see the problem now... Both, yaboot and the fstab seem confused about 2 partitions having the same UUID.

    The 'clean' solution would be to delete /dev/sda7 from the partition table. gparted does not show /dev/sda7, but there is a chance that parted will. Enter parted in a terminal (you need to be su), then print at the (parted) command prompt. If some /dev/sda7 is shown here you can delete it from here. Be sure to check the parted manpage. ;-)

    If this does not work IMHO you can 'repair' the partition table by copying your partitions 1:1 to a external harddisc, write a new Apple partition table on your internal harddisc (with parted or gparted) and copy the partitions back one by one in the desired order.

    The other solution is to use /dev/sdaX in /etc/yaboot.conf AND /etc/fstab instead of the UUIDs. In your case just replace UUID=blabla with /dev/sdaX, e.g. root=/dev/sda3. Be sure to do the same thing in fstab too!
