This problem has been reported for yaird as bug Erm, I didn't have yaird installed at first, mkinitramfs-kpkg didn't even include SCSI at all.

I prefer to toggle via kernel-img.conf, no need to remove yaird for that ;) root@pham:/tmp/a# dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64 Running depmod. Finding valid ramdisk creators.
