Bug#336567: postinst fails runnng modprobe on 'ext3,ext2'
Package: yaird Version: 0.0.11-10 Severity: serious I have an /etc/fstab with lines of the form: /dev/hda2 / ext3,ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1 ie. for filesystem, try ext3 first, if this cannot be done, use ext2. Recent versions of mount understand this syntax, but yairds' postinst barfs on it: Setting up linux-image-2.6.14-1-686 (2.6.14-1) ... Using /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk.

Erik, upstream maintainer, is listening here as well, and I hope he can quickly extend the parser to handle this and "auto" which fails similarly. Until fixed, the obvious workaround is to change to only use one of the options. Alternatively you can try using initramfs-tools instead of yaird: Install initramfs-tools, and either uninstall yaird or change priority of ramdisk tools by adding the following to /etc/kernel-img.conf (in a single line): ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.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) iD8DBQFDZ4WXn7DbMsAkQLgRAkjzAKCe3WXArrdluJN7X5QeftTOqk7KiACfTTQy br6O5opvlTI2AIbVkalyNg8= =n7C6 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
