Description Oliver Kaiser 2005-03-08 15:48:29 UTC 
Genkernel's file /usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load does not include the SATA driver ata_piix in environment variable MODULES_SATA.
used genkernel version: 3.1.1b

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
System can not access root file system because driver for SATA drive is not
loaded in initrd.

Expected Results:  
Smooth booting ...

I set MODULES_SATA in /usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load to "sata_promise
sata_sil sata_svw sata_via sata_nv sata_sx4 sata_sis sata_uli sata_vitesse ahci
ata_piix". With this configuration genkernel generates a perfect initrd to boot
my SATA only system.

Maybe the same applies to /usr/share/genkernel/x86_64/modules_load and to the
SATA driver "sata_vsc".

Chris; any reason not to add this?
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-13 14:45:39 UTC 
Make sur ethis is still the case with latest genkernel versions... since 3.1.1b is a bit dated, but I can't think of any reason why it should not be added.

genkernel-3.1.6

# grep MODULES_SATA /usr/share/genkernel/x86_64/modules_load
MODULES_SATA="sata_promise sata_sil sata_svw sata_via sata_nv sata_sx4 sata_sis sata_uli sata_vitesse sata_qstor ahci"

So it

genkernel-3.1.6

# grep MODULES_SATA /usr/share/genkernel/x86_64/modules_load
MODULES_SATA="sata_promise sata_sil sata_svw sata_via sata_nv sata_sx4 sata_sis sata_uli sata_vitesse sata_qstor ahci"

So it´s still not there.

This is in CVS and will go into genkernel 3.2.0, which should go into _pre
testing shortly...

_pre9 in Portage, closing bug as fixed.
