[Yaird-devel] Bug#346134: yaird: ide-cd module not loaded by image

[Moshe Yudkowsky]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-3
Severity: normal

When using initramfs-tools, the /boot/initrd.img file that's created tries to load the ide-cd module if any ide device it encounters is a CDROM; that's on the basis of the script in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/udev, which is provided by the udev package.

Yaird does not load the ide-cd package and doesn't look to initramfs-tools or mkinitrd-tools for scripts. The "init" script that's part of the generated image does not attempt to load ide-cd. To get the cdrom working, I have to "modprobe ide-cd" manually. I've tried placing "ide-cd" into /etc/modules, but that doesn't help.

Here's the relevant portion of the yaird build:

Please advise if Yaird needs to change /etc/yaird/Default.cfg, or if udev needs to provide a script, or if this is a configuration problem. I realize that I could probably fix this with an appropriate entry into Default.cfg, but I can't believe that's the correct fix -- it seems far too specific.
