the problem is that your machine's PCI vendor/device-IDs are not included in
the pci.lst file inside the
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/*/standard/boel_binaries.tar.gz
archive. Therefore the autodetection of the drive fails for your machine's
SATA controller. This is not a problem of OSCAR, we simply cannot keep track
of all new hardware IDs showing up on the horizon.

Your workaround solves the problem. The autodetection of the controller still
fails, but as the module is loaded manually you will be ready to access the
drives when needed.

Alternatively you can add your device's vendor/device ID to the pci.lst file
inside the boel_binary tgz.

When the autodetection fails, you might need to setup a hardware.lst file
inside the image (in /etc/systemconfig/), otherwise the sc-initrd might miss
the driver's modules.

Regards,
Erich
