[Bug 570542] Re: linux-image-virtual does not include ahci module, prevents virtualbox from booting minimal vm install

[Leann Ogasawara]

** Description changed:

+ Lucid SRU Justification:
+ Impact: In Karmic the ahci driver was built in by default in the kernel.  However, in Lucid, this driver is now enabled as a module.  Refer to:

+ 
+     UBUNTU: [Config] de-modularise SATA disk controllers
+ 
+ As a result we need to add the ahci module to the virtual sub-flavour .
+ 
+ Testcase:
+ Install the virtual kernel package and confirm virtualbox guests using virtual sata drives within virtualbox do not boot properly.  Install the updated virtual kernel flavor and confirm virtualbox guests using virtual sata drives within virtualbox are now able to boot.
+ 
+ =====
+ 
  The linux-image-2.6.32-21-virtual kernel package does not include the
  ahci module:
  
-   $ dpkg-deb -c linux-image-2.6.32-21-virtual_2.6.32-21.32_amd64.deb | grep ahci
-   $
+   $ dpkg-deb -c linux-image-2.6.32-21-virtual_2.6.32-21.32_amd64.deb | grep ahci
+   $
  
  this is unfortunately the driver that virtualbox guests need to use
  virtual sata devices (rather than ide) within virtualbox, meaning that
  virtualbox guests with the virtual kernel installed won't boot.
  Installing the ahci.ko from the corresponding linux-
  image-2.6.32-21-server kernel and updating depmod and the initramfs lets
  the system boot under virtualbox.
  
  (It doesn't look to be a regression from karmic, as that version's
  virtual kernel also didn't include the ahci, though I haven't tested it
  for sure -- it's possible ahci could have been a built-in module).
