I did that already, but just FYI, I'm attaching the lsmod output of
the same machine after booting with both mkinitramfs and yaird
images... I included as well *.sort outputs for easier comparison.
You can notice there's NO difference in the modules loaded at all...

Yes I looked at it, but I couldn't tell just by looking at it whether
by adding a module there, then I could get the module added by the
image, or just added afterwords like udev does with /etc/modules,
since I'm already adding everything necessary for cd/dvd rom under
/etc/modules (I'm attaching it as well).

No I don't, :). I'm not inclined to file bugs without errors, and
even less if there might be a configuration tweak to perform. Can I
just add to /etc/yaird/Default.cfg:
OPTIONAL MODULE ide-generic
OPTIONAL MODULE ide-disk
OPTIONAL MODULE ide-cd
without modifying anything else? If so, what would be the effect of
those additions (wondering if the same as having them under
/etc/modules)?

I understand, but I was used to consider the distribution lists
messages documentation as well, so when a search under google I can
get answers, :). I looked at the other thread as well, which I think
is going under the debian-user list. Although I think the issue is
different there (I might be wrong though).
Before filing anything, could you help me one more time just to
clarify the idea of modifying /etc/yaird/Default.cfg vs. having those
same modules under /etc/modules?

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your time and patience... If by
adding the modules in /etc/yaird/Default.cfg, instead of having them
under /etc/modules I get the expected results, then I'll file a bug,
even if there's no bug around, so that others don't suffer the same,
however I haven't tried that yet, :).
