[Yaird-devel] Bug#443821: yaird: Problems parsing proc/bus/input/devices with kernel 2.6.23

[Michael Guntsche]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-22
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I recently installed a 2.6.23 kernel for testing purposes and noticed
that yaird is no longer able to create a valid ramdisk. The errors I get
are

......
yaird error: unrecognised device:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input
yaird error: unrecognised device:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input2
.....

I had a look at /proc/bus/input/devices and noticed that the SysFs
entries had changed with 2.6.23. Instead of

	/class/input/input2

they are now

	/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input2

and for my power buttons

	/devices/virtual/input/input0

I am not sure if this change is the cause for this problem but it
renders yaird unuseable for me right now.
