Package: yaird Version: 0.0.12-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi Jonas and Erik, ... As already mentioned on d-k, powerpc doesn't build the ide-generic module, and thus installing a powerpc kernel on pegasos (and probably on chrp and prep too, since they all use x86 ide controllers) fails with : Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk. yaird error: Could not read output for /sbin/modprobe -v -n --show-depends --set-version 2.6.14-2-powerpc-smp ide-generic (fatal) Failed to create initrd image. (using powerpc-smp in order to not mess up the running kernel, obviously :) I feel that the problem is due to the ide-generic fix to bug #341738, inconditionally trying to include the ide-generic module, even if it was not built, like this is the case here. A check for the existence of ide-generic before trying to include it or something such should be a good solution. I hope to have a patch soon, but given my limited perl knowledge ...
