[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest
I've built test kernels for Natty 11.04 and Oneiric 11.10 which add the libahci driver to the virtual kernel flavor. Please test and let me know your results, I can then submit this for a Stable Release Update for the Natty and Oneiric releases. For Precise 12.04 this should be a non issue as the ahci and libahci drivers are built in for Precise (ie CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y).

[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest
I had written: How do you get the workaround above to work when the host won't boot? Duh! I just had to scroll down to the generics that were just off screen, so now I can install the workaround. Selecting the package linux-virtual fortunately does not de-install linux-generic, but it does cause the host system's grub config to be updated to boot linux-virtual by default. Was the current linux-virtual released without first trying to boot a host system? If someone had tried a simple reboot after installing linux-virtual, they would have noticed that the host could no longer boot! Unless they had manually installed the workaround as well, simply knowing that it was needed rather than relying on the dependency mwechanism. Someone will probably respond that you are not supposed to install linux-virtual on a host machine. And it's probably even documented somewhere. But if that's the case, shouldn't there be some check performed to prevent (or at least warn about) it's installation on a host machine? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570542 Title: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/570542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest
Well I THOUGHT I was preparing to use virtualbox on oneiric when I apparently downloaded that virtual kernel. Now the system I was going to use as host is failing to boot with those ahci: unknown symbol messages, as well as getting HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sda: Invalid Argument messages.

[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest
The ahci.ko needs libahci to work, which is included in linux-image-extra-virtual (along with everything but the kitchen sink). It *SHOULD* be included in linux-image-virtual IMHO, because ahci.ko is next to worthless without it, and installing an additional 120MB of drivers, modules and cruft to get a 47KiB module to get SATA to work is just plain silly (bug #658461) Workaround (I guarantee nothing :-P ): ### cd /tmp apt-get download linux-image-extra-3.0.0-12-virtual cd / dpkg --fsys-tarfile /tmp/linux-image-extra-3.0.0-12-virtual*.deb | tar --wildcards -xf - */libahci.ko depmod -a update-initramfs -u shutdown -r now presto -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570542 Title: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/570542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest
On a side note, something appears not right there anyways; modules.dep doesn't list libahci.ko as a dependency for ahci.ko, while modinfo does so either depmod -a silently fails the dependency and doesn't list it, or something strange is going on with the dependency resolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570542 Title: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting an Ubuntu guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/570542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
