Package: debian-installer
Version: 21-Feb-2006

My wife just got a shiny new Fujitsu Lifebook P7120 (thanks to Joey
Hess raving about it on Planet the other day).  I downloaded the latest
nightly build for Etch and tried to install it.  This far too much fun,
thanks to the SATA CD-ROM drive.

You see, to enable support for SATA CD-ROM drives, you have to set the
libata module parameter 'atapi_enabled=1'.  If libata were built in,
that would be the simple matter of passing 'libata.atapi_enabled=1'.
But it's a module, and even in expert mode, libata is loaded before
you get to a shell.  Busybox doesn't seem to have an rmmod command,
so you can't unload it and then load it with the option specified.
So you have to boot with BOOT_DEBUG=3 to get a shell prompt where you
'modprobe libata atapi_enabled=1'.

If this doesn't get fixed, the workaround needs to be documented.
I expect Fujitsu won't be the only people shipping SATA CD-ROMs during
the lifecycle of Etch.

 rootskel (1.30) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Add S01module-params startup script which parses the kernel command line
     for things of the form module.param=value and calls register-modules -a -p
     to make the parameters get used when the modules are later loaded.
     This allows passing parameters in the same form used for parameters
     of modules that are built into the kernel, and have them take effect with
     modules loaded by eg, udev. Closes: #353942, #284425
   * Needs di-utils 1.24.
