Title:
sata_sil not loaded at boot time, if driver-police is MODULES=DEP
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a white box. After installation
the system failed to boot, as the root fs couldn't be found. I noticed
that some of the hard drives were not found and consequently the RAID5
stripe hosting the LVM volume hosting the root fs couldn't be
constructed. It turned out that the sata_sil driver modules wasn't
loaded at boot time, hence the RAID controller (only used in JBOD mode
here) wasn't initialized at the drives attached to it not presented to
the host.
I added the 'sata_sil' module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (along
with all the other modules loaded by the installation tool running in
rescue mode), changed the driver-policy in /etc/initramfs-
tools/conf.d/driver-policy from 'MODULES=dep' to 'MODULES=list' and
rebuilt the initramfs (using `dpkg-reconfigure linux-
image-3.2.0-24-generic`. Now the server boots successfully.
I like the idea of running the system only with the drivers needed,
but perhaps the tool deciding on which modules get in should err on
the side of a driver too much, rather than a driver too few.
