Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-3
Severity: normal
I did give yaird a quick try, since the mkvmlinuz support for initramfs is
broken (currently doubly-compressesthe initramfs, which linux has then trouble
accessing :), and it seemed to have detected the hardware on my pegasos
machine correctly, i have not tried it out yet though.
The modules included where :
./drivers/ide/pci/via82cxxx.ko
./drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
./drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.ko
./drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko
./drivers/input/serio/i8042.ko
./drivers/input/serio/libps2.ko
./drivers/input/serio/serio.ko
./drivers/input/evdev.ko
./fs/ext2/ext2.ko
./fs/mbcache.ko
While my initrd-tools generated one has :
./drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/aec62xx.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/cmd64x.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/generic.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/hpt34x.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/ns87415.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/pdc202xx_new.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/pdc202xx_old.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/sc1200.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/siimage.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/sl82c105.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/trm290.ko
./drivers/ide/pci/via82cxxx.ko
./drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.ko
./drivers/input/serio/i8042.ko
./drivers/input/serio/libps2.ko
./drivers/input/serio/serio.ko
./drivers/scsi/libata.ko
./drivers/scsi/sata_promise.ko
./drivers/scsi/sata_sil.ko
./drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko

./fs/ext2/ext2.ko
./fs/ext3/ext3.ko
./fs/fat/fat.ko
./fs/hfs/hfs.ko
./fs/jbd/jbd.ko
./fs/mbcache.ko
./fs/msdos/msdos.ko
./fs/nls/nls_base.ko
./fs/vfat/vfat.ko
./net/unix/unix.ko
Well, i have to say that i am agreably surprised, by yaird, but i still have
some small caveats :
1) The usb input modules are needed for usb keyboards.
./drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko
./drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko
./drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.ko
./drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko
./drivers/usb/input/usbhid.ko
Not sure if yaird would have made the right thing on a powermac without
ps/2, or if i had a usb keyboard connected though. Also, in my experience
ehci needs to be loaded before ohci or uhci, in order to not cause stability
problems on pegasos with the old firmware, not sure if this is the case
somewhere else or needed.
2) i have a second disk on a sil sata drive (the sata modules come from
/etc/mkinitrd/modules, not detected), and with initrd-tools, these where not
included, and fsck had troubles with it each time.
3) my filesystem is actually ext3, not ext2, will the missing ext3 module
cause problems ?
Anyway, yaird is great, and i look forward into making more tests with it :)
Friendly,
Sven Luther
