Yaird is a ramdisk generator used by default for the most recent Linux kernels. The classical ramdisk generator mkinitrd (in the package mkinitrd-tools) cannot generate initramfs images needed by newest versions of Linux. What kernel version did you run while installing the new version? In most cases if yaird cannot handle your system setup it fails to install the ramdisk. So I am very interested in knowing if somehow on your system yaird failed silently or you perhaps missed the failure at install time: Please report the output of the following command: dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.14-1-k7 If you can put your ramdisk image ( /boot/initrd.img-2.6.14-1-k7 ) public somewhere for further investigation that would be helpful too. Also, please provide the content of your /etc/fstab If you want to try using the other laternative ramdisk generator capable of making initramfs images (the package called initramfs-tools that I noticed you have installed already) then add the following to /etc/kernel-img.conf (all in one line): ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird Even if you succeed with initramfs-tools I would appreciate your additional info to understand and fix the failure with yaird. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDam3Bn7DbMsAkQLgRAibWAJ9PdHmwk4vq9DWEJ7G22vkn53Z8fwCgm++E OAQt6tUT8grg6dUYOx6COVU= =46aX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
