Problem with mkinitrd.yaird


Hey,

I'm trying to upgrade my kernel. When i get to the step where i should build the img for grub (i guess the command below is doing that) I get this error:

yaird error: bad device link in /sys/block/sda (fatal)

Since I installed debian using a USB drive, HDD1 was /dev/sdb and HDD2 was /dev/sdc, the USB was /dev/sda.
Is there a way to force mkinitrd.yaird to build the img for /dev/sdb?

Code:
mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.36 2.6.36
