[Yaird-devel] Bug#431534: yaird: fails to create initrd when running on 2.6.22-rcX

[Andreas Henriksson]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-20
Severity: important

I'm running a pre-release kernel from
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/ which has a new driver that I
need. Recently a new version of the 2.6.21 kernel was uploaded to
unstable and installation fails, because yaird barfs during config.


$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
