Bug#340344: yaird: Fail to create initrd on s390/s390x
Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-12
Severity: important
When attempting installing linux-image-2.6.14-3-s390x, the install script
invokes yaird.
yaird fails as follow :
# yaird -o /tmp/a 2.6.14-2-s390x
yaird error: can't open /proc/bus/input/devices (fatal)
I therefore removed the "INPUT" goal from /etc/yaird/Default.cfg
(since input devices on S/390 z/Arch is irrelevant) as well
as anything relating to mouse, etc..
The following then occurs :
# yaird -o /tmp/a 2.6.14-2-s390x
yaird error: unsupported device required: dasda (fatal)
As a consequence, I am unable to upgrade to the 2.6.14 kernel (since
linux-image-2.6.14-3-s390x and linux-image-2.6.14-3-s390 both insist on
only using yaird).
