The root issue here is that module-init-tools version in squeeze has
stopped generating the .map files by default. From the upstream changelog:
3.6 Version:
o depmod: make building map files optional (does anyone use them anyway?)
So either yaird needs to be updated to no longer require the
modules.pcimap file, or make sure the map files still get generated
either by calling depmod -m itself, or working with the kernel team
to have the image postinst modified to include -m.
Note that 2.6.26 kernels are only being updated for use in lenny. The
reason this update appeared in squeeze is because a newer release has
not yet migrated from sid into squeeze, but we need squeeze versions
of package to be greater than or equal to the versions in
lenny. Changing maintainer scripts in the lenny packages will unlikely
be done unless its shown to break upgrades to lenny.
As a workaround, you might consider trying initramfs-tools instead of
yaird, or manually running:
# depmod -a -m -F /boot/System.map-2.6.26-2-686 2.6.26-2-686
# dpkg --configure -a
