You did remember to uninstall yaird before regenerating the ramdisk? Then it sounds like the nvidia driver being buggy then - not a yaird bug if also appearing with initramfs-tools. I am not experienced here, so others please comment, if this is a known situation! Richard: Are you ready for some more geeky tests? Perhaps initrd-tools loads other modules or in another order than both yaird and initramfs-tools. So if you could boot an old kernel with initrd ramdisk and kernel options "init=/bin/sh rw", and run the following command: /sbin/lsmod > /mkinitrd-modules.dump Then do the same with same kernel but yaird ramdisk, and (blindly) dump to a separate file. Then post both dumps here... - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDZTljn7DbMsAkQLgRAplKAJ9LbSzl7bK0JBR4Rc0OmzL6snIt+ACcDsgF VrzI17ftgugzwQ9wBqcRQgk= =515I -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
