This means yaird is to blame, not the kernel package. Recent Linux
kernels do not support the use of initrd-tools so pulls in either yaird
or initramfs-tools, which is why you suddently run into new "exciting"
experiences when installing a kernel.

I suspect this is the case.

Could you try adding " 0 0" to the end of that line and do a
"dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.14-1-686", to see if that helps?
