[Yaird-devel] Bug#420033: Serious issue still exists in Lenny

[Ryan Hayle]

I was just bitten by this upon trying to upgrade from etch->lenny.

When I try to install/configure linux-image-2.6.24-1-686, yaird runs to
generate the new initrd.  This fails when it cannot find /lib/lvm-200,
because the new lvm2 package moved /lib/lvm-200/* to /sbin.  This left
the kernel package in an unconfigured state, thus rendering the system
unbootable with the newly-installed kernel without a valid initrd, since
I have my root fs on LVM.

I solved this by simply booting with my old kernel, removing line 287 of
/etc/yaird/Template.cfg that references /lib/lvm-200 (as indicated
above), and then reconfiguring the kernel package.

This fix is really trivial, I hope it gets applied immediately.  I can't
believe this bug is nearly a year old!
