Sorry about via troubles but, in my opinion, if a way to load an "emergency module" can't be found here (i.e., loading ide-generic as the last chance when the root device is not accessible after loading the specific module), we'd have to resolve the issues related with yaird. The via issue is probably a kernel related issue, as probably is the choice to mark a module as "permanent"... but yaird shouldn't add unnecessary modules to initrd or, if this is not possible, it should include the specific modules too. Erik, you asked 'yaird -v' output: did you mean 'yaird -v --test [version]'? The output is about 163kB, should I attach it here?
