Well I tried yaird in the past and it really sucked then. mkinitramfs
worked much better, so I stuck with that. Perhaps you could tell it
somewhere in it's config files to load the driver you want, since it
does have verious spots for hooks to be inserted into it. That would
probably be the correct way to solve things.
