I haven't seen any bug reports about this, but I reported this to you in a different form, i.e. $ modprobe -S 3.2.0-2-ARCH --show-depends ahci insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/ata/libata.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/ata/libata.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/ata/libahci.ko.gz insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-ARCH/kernel/drivers/ata/ahci.ko.gz dave
