| |
Version 0.0.7 of yaird is now available at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird-0.0.7.tar.gz
Yaird is a proof of concept perl rewrite of mkinitrd. It aims to reliably identify the necessary modules by using the same algorithms as hotplug, and comes with a template system to to tune the tool for different distributions and experiment with different image layouts. It requires a 2.6 kernel with hotplug. There is a paper discussing it at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird.html
