Are you sure?

The problem with yaird is (as I understand it) that sysfs is needed at
image build time, and sysfs does not exist in 2.4 kernels.

Why would upgrades from 2.4 fail using initramfs-tools?


And please use its proper name to avoid further confusion: the package
maintained by Jeff Bailey is "initramfs-tools" - the name "initramfs"
is the name of the image created by either initramfs-tools or yaird.
