Hello, 

I implemented a way to fix this for initrd-tools :

which altough it may not be the nicest way, fixes the issue. Notice that the
invocation is :

  ./mkinitrd --supported-target-version=2.6.13-1-powerpc 
--supported-host-version=2.6.12-1-powerpc

Due to the way getopts is implemented in shell, so i guess this should be the
version to use here.

I will implement this in initrd-tools and initramfs-tools in the debian-kernel
svn, but await for comments before doing an upload, Jonas, i would appreciate
if you would be able to do this for yaird asap too, as i don't speak perl,
which i think is what yaird implements, right ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther
