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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
