Ok, I renamed the UUIDs to the right "dev/sda´s", like so:

o3sIxmR.jpgthen I tried to "ybin", but it fails (as always):
5XwCERo.jpg a bit strange, seems like "sda2" is missing all the time I try to run ybin, but it´s there...
guess it´s fucked up!
It definitely is. Just tried out replacing the UUIDs with /dev/sda* like you did and this works on my PowerBook without any problem.

Here is my idea: would it work, if I just copy my sda3 data to USB Stick, re-install linux and then just copy data from usb to harddisk?
The problem is (like I posted in the beginning of this thread), that I do not want to setup all stuff again in debian...
Is there a way to boot from ubuntu cd, somehow make a copy of all data from my ext4 linux partition and later write back onto a new install?
Good idea, this should work.
You can copy/restore partitions easily with gparted from your Ubuntu CD.
1. Backup your root-partition to an USB stick.
2. Create a new mac partition table with gparted on /dev/sda.
3. Install MorphOS.
4. Boot into your Ubuntu CD again. Use gparted to create a HFS-partition for yaboot. Set the "boot"-flag for this HFS-partition using gparted (
"Manage Flags").
5. Create a swap partition.
6. Copy your root-partition back from USB to /dev/sda using gparted.
7. Check your new partition table with blkid. You should see only one root partition now, not two partitions with the same UUID, hopefully..
8. Edit your yaboot.conf with the new data learnt from blkid.
9. ybin -v
10. Edit fstab with the new data learnt from blkid. UUID for your root should be the same as it was before. swap will have a new UUID as it is newly created.
Good luck!
