Bug Description
This applies to gutsy gibbon
I prefer to use yaird because initramfs-tools seem to not create correct ramdisk images on my macpro (need to check again, nontheless yaird seems to fail - but it shouldn't and didn't with feisty)
I'm not sure if this is a bug in initramfs-tools (update-initramfs) or yaird itself
Here goes the error log ...

I don't believe we've ever supported yaird on Ubuntu; interested people are welcome to dig into what's going wrong and submit patches.
