I just added acpiphp module in /etc/modules.
After instance launch I can see acpiphp loaded:
# dmesg | grep acpiphp
[ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[ 3.131832] acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
[ 3.131906] acpiphp: Slot [32] registered
[ 3.132009] acpiphp: Slot [33] registered
[ 3.132103] acpiphp: Slot [34] registered
[ 3.132196] acpiphp: Slot [35] registered
[ 3.132289] acpiphp: Slot [36] registered
However, fdisk -l on the launched instance still does not show the recently
attached volume.
After instance reboot I am able to see attached volume:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 652 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
Any ideas?
