Several days ago I complained about being unable to boot from newer

Hello Haggai,
Can you please let me (and if not too long - also the Linux-IL members)
know how exactly you invoke yaird and what other steps you need to do to
get 2.6.15 to boot from Debian Testing?

Let me try and summarize for the non-kernel hackers:
Traditionally, the way to boot linux was by setting attributes inside
the kernel image that would hardcode the location of the root partition.
This would either be picked by the kernel build system and copied from
the machine on which the kernel
I'm using debian testing with a 2.6.15 kernel.
I'm using (almost) standard yaird initrd file to boot, except I
patched it to support software suspend 2.

Today, after few days, I upgraded the Debian Testing (Etch) installation
on ThinkPad R40e laptop to have the most recent package versions.
The laptop has few kernels - among them I have 2.6.15-1, 2.6.12-1 and
2.6.8-2.
The 2.6.15-1 never worked for me, when I try to boot it, it locks up
