Bug#256646: discover1: Please add detection of USB chipset (?) so that d-i supports install to USB hard disks
Package: discover1
Severity: normal
I just had a USB hard disk for a moment and wanted to test d-i on it.
Unfortunately, d-i did not autoload the usb-uhci module, which is needed for
my USB chipset to be detected (and the hard disk detected subsquently).
After "modprobe usb-uhci" in the 2nd console, all went well, and the HD
detection found the disk, which partman "saw" as well.
So, I first guess this could be a discover1 problem....but maybe this is
ddetect-related.
The general hardware is my Dell X200 laptop (the same we used for Firewire
support testing).
I guess that just adding the needed magic to discover1 should make it. After
this, however, I'm unsure whether GRUB may handle all this if the machine
cannot boot from USB.
