Nvidia. Ok (or "ok" is perhaps an exageration: problems with this
specific hardware vendor is not really a surprise to me...)

You did remember to uninstall yaird before regenerating the ramdisk?
Then it sounds like the nvidia driver being buggy then - not a yaird
bug if also appearing with initramfs-tools.
I am not experienced here, so others please comment, if this is a
known situation!
Richard: Are you ready for some more geeky tests? Perhaps initrd-tools
loads other modules or in another order than both yaird and
initramfs-tools. So if you could boot an old kernel with initrd ramdisk
and kernel options "init=/bin/sh rw", and run the following command:
/sbin/lsmod > /mkinitrd-modules.dump
Then do the same with same kernel but yaird ramdisk, and (blindly) dump
to a separate file. Then post both dumps here...
