The better short term solution would be to add the module(s) needed for
that drive in your /etc/modules instead of waiting for hotplug to load
it.
I think the real problem is that the initrd is supposed to load all
modules needed to mount partitions used for your system. However, I may
be wrong about that and in that case discover should take care of it. So
the bug is either in initrd-tools or discover1-data.
Could you please send us the output of 'lspci' and 'lspci -n' for your
system so we may check if your controller is listed in discover's
hardware database?
Cheers,
FJP
