Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi Jonas and Erik, ...
As already mentioned on d-k, powerpc doesn't build the ide-generic module, and
thus installing a powerpc kernel on pegasos (and probably on chrp and prep
too, since they all use x86 ide controllers) fails with :
Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk.
yaird error: Could not read output for /sbin/modprobe -v -n --show-depends
--set-version 2.6.14-2-powerpc-smp ide-generic (fatal)
Failed to create initrd image.
(using powerpc-smp in order to not mess up the running kernel, obviously :)
I feel that the problem is due to the ide-generic fix to bug #341738,
inconditionally trying to include the ide-generic module, even if it was not
built, like this is the case here. A check for the existence of ide-generic
before trying to include it or something such should be a good solution.
I hope to have a patch soon, but given my limited perl knowledge ...
Friendly,
Sven Luther
