[Bug 22220] Re: Correct modules for I2O-based raid are not loaded

[Colin Watson]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 5.10 Preview experiences a system panic w/ I2O based raid controler at
  kernel boot after controller is detected. Current controller that this is
  experienced on is a Adaptec 2400a Hardware Raid (IDE). I do not have any other
  I2O based controllers on which to test this.
  
  5.4 did not experience this (we currently are using it), so this must be a
  regression in the preview version.
+ 
+ Details for hw-detect dapper proposed update:
+ 
+   The installer offers a menu of disk drivers when disks are not
+ automatically detected. This list fails to include the drivers from
+ drivers/message/fusion and drivers/message/i2o (mpt* and i2o_*). Thus,
+ users of these devices have no obvious manual fallback if automatic
+ detection fails.
+ 
+   The bug was addressed in hw-detect 1.33 (in edgy) by adding these
+ directories to the list of directories to be searched for drivers to
+ offer, and adding a guard in case either directory doesn't exist.
+ 
+   You can reproduce this bug by removing the kernel module responsible
+ for your disk from the running installer before it has a chance to load
+ it (be quick!), and looking at the list of disks offered. Alternatively,
+ it might be easier to boot in VMware with no disks attached.
+ 
+   I haven't yet thought of any regression possibilities here, but they
+ ought to be limited to the path where no disks were automatically
+ detected.
