I can no longer recreate the problem. To give more background, which may 
explain why, this was a clean install on a new box with SATA, using Debian 
>From Scratch 0.6.19. I was under the 2.6.11 kernel from the CD when I build 
the initrd in a chroot to my new install. /proc and /sys were both mounted, 
and yaird appeared to complete sucessfully.

I have tried booting from the DFS CD again under the same kernel and still 
cannot recreate the problem. The bootstrapped version of sid from the CD 
contained quite a few backlevel packages, which have since been updated, so 
maybe this has some bearing on it? I don't have another box like this I can 
reinstall now to try again from scratch.

Anyway, in my current system state I can build a working initrd from the 
latest yaird, and since there is no upgrade path to 2.6.14/yaird from Sarge 
(and so probably no official upgrade path from anything else either) this 
can probably be discounted as an odd one-off.

Regards, Richard.
