Bug#343048: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686: no need to install initramfs-tools
Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686
Version: 2.6.14-5
Followup-For: Bug #343048
Hi,
after being knocked down with the same problem which left my system in
an unbootable state I wondered if it wasn't possible to bring the system
back to life without removing yaird. This is what I simply did:
- boot system with KNOPPIX
- mount the root partition
- remount the /dev into the root partition
- chroot into your root partition
- mount /proc
- mount /sys
- edit /etc/yaird/Default.cfg and add
MODULE ide-generic
MODULE ide-disk
right after the "MODULE evdev" line
- dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.14-2-686
- umount /sys
- umount /proc
- leave chroot'ed partition and umount it
And right after a reboot your system is usable again. :)
Regards, Michael
