Sorry for the late response.

This is a known limitation of yaird: The initial ramdisk is optimized
for your current hardware setup only. So if changing things around you
need to regenerate your ramdisk (easiest done with the command
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 (or whatever the name of your
kernel package).
