Hello Canonical,
There are important kernel modules that are required on POWER systems,
and they are currently on the linux-image-extra packages.
So, in this case, every Power system needs to install the -extra
package, which makes the -extra package required.
My suggestion is to add these important modules to the main archive, so,
we do not require the installation of the -extra package.
We are working on the full list of packages, but I would like to
anticipate these modules:
01. lpfc
02. qla2xxx
03. be2net
04. bnx2x
05. i40e
06. igb
07. ixgbe
08. cxl
09. cxlflash
10. jsm
11. ohci-platform
12. xhci
13. aacraid
14. ipr
15. megaraid_sas
16. mpt3sas
17. powernv-rng
18. ipmi_powernv
19. leds-powernv
20. ibmpowernv
21. opal-prd
22. powernv_flash
23. nx-compress-powernv
24. vfio (all modules: vfio.ko, vfio-pci.ko, vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.ko,
vfio_virqfd.ko, vfio_spapr_eeh.ko)
*Notice*
The driver "qlge" is presented in the preliminary list but it's not necessary.
Thanks in advance,
