A brand new thing in 0.11 is configurability: Have a look at /usr/lib/yaird/conf and post here what changes works for you. Hmm - Erik: Why did you not put this below /etc?!? > > 3) my filesystem is actually ext3, not ext2, will the missing ext3 > module cause problems ? How do your /etc/fstab look like? If / is mounted as ext3 then that module should have been picked automatically. Erik: I actually found what seems to be a bug: Debian supports mount type to be "auto" which then tries ext3 and falls back to ext2 on failure. But yaird fails creating an initramfs, saying the module "auto" does not exist. > Anyway, yaird is great, and i look forward into making more tests > with it :) Great to hear that. I believe that for debian-installer use a different template needs to be written that probes less and instead statically includes a bunch of modules. I have no experience in this, so if you want to play with that, Sven, then you are more than welcome.
