I have a DPT 2044W PCI SCSI card in this machine, identified by
lspci -nnv
as:
00:08.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Adaptec (formerly DPT)
SmartCache/Raid I
-IV Controller [1044:a400] (rev 02)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 160, IRQ 11
BIST result: 00
I/O ports at d400 [size=32]
Expansion ROM at ee000000 [disabled] [size=32K]
This card uses the eata driver, but the driver is not automatically loaded.
I added the following /etc/modprobe.d/local:
alias pci:v00001044d0000A400* eata
and removed eata from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and /etc/modules,
re-ran update-initramfs and rebooted. This worked, with eata loading
automatically:

[ 5.114277] libata version 3.00 loaded.

[ 5.129932] EATA0: wide SCSI support enabled, max_id 16, max_lun 8.
[ 5.130049] EATA0: SCSI channel 0 enabled, host target ID 7.
[ 5.130183] scsi0 : EATA/DMA 2.0x rev. 8.10.00
Could this alias (and perhaps others for DPT SCSI adaptors) be added to
the eata driver source?
Regards,
Arthur.
