Nowadays, I blacklist ata_piix # echo 'blacklist ata_piix' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf # update-initramfs -k all -u # reboot then I manually load ata_piix using modprobe after boot > But it seems like it would be better if ahci was automatically > preferred. Yes, because I'm not the only one using ich6 chipset who want to upgrade from lenny to squeeze indeed. :) 2010/10/4 maximilian attems <max@xxxxxxx>: > we do shipp modules.order in initramfs. It looks like what I'm looking for... a way to force loading of ahci module before loading of ata_piix module. > hmm thomas what are your MODULES settings, please post output of > egrep MODULES -r /etc/initramfs-tools/ > > if MODULES=dep appears it could be that the sys walking code has > a bug in adding the wrong module to the initramfs. > please change it to the safe and default MODULES=most and regenerate: > update-initramfs -u -k <kernelversion> > > you can check any initramfs if it has the relevant modules with > lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-trunk-amd64 | grep ahci I'm going to check this ! It can be important to point out that previously quoted lenny lspci showed me it knows the two modules could be used and experience showed me it does the good choice. # diff lspci-lenny lspci-squeeze 16,18c16,17 < Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- < Kernel driver in use: ahci < Kernel modules: ahci, ata_piix --- > Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- > Kernel driver in use: ata_piix Squeeze lspci does'nt have this "Kernel modules" line even though both modules are loaded. So, I'm going to check modules.order and /etc/initramfs-tools/ then I will report here what I can see. -- Thomas DEBESSE -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
