Yes, it's a known limitation in yaird, one that isn't likely to be fixed any time soon given that yaird depends heavily on sysfs on the host system. So why do the official 2.6.15 packages in unstable still depend on yaird | initramfs-tools, instead of initramfs-tools | yaird? Marked as "serious", because I don't believe it's acceptable to release 2.6 kernels for etch without a clear and automated upgrade path from sarge (i.e., 2.4). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
