Bug#895532: linux-image-4.14.0-0.bpo.3-arm64: Enable CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2 for ARM64
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.14.13-1~bpo9+1
Severity: normal
Hi,
We seem to be missing the sym53c8xx module on arm64. This means that
it is possible in some situations SCSI devices such as the cd-rom
drive can't be found -- this can be quite annoying on a
virtual-machine where this results in the config-drive not being
found, and cloud-init (or other tools) can't deploy keys and
configurations.
The Ubuntu 4.13.0-38-generic kernel does include this, and things work
as expected. From the Ubuntu configs:
config.common.amd64:CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=m
An lspci on the affected host shows the controllers
00:00.0 Host bridge: Red Hat, Inc. Device 0008
00:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c895a
00:02.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c895a
00:03.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c895a
I think that clouds should be configured to show the cdrom via modern
methods such as virtio-scsi, etc. But clearly some aren't, as I'm
seeing this problem on a deployed OpenStack instance.
Thus I think enabling this as a module will possibly help anyone
booting arm64 kvm hosts from nasty surprises where they can't get into
hosts (and also brings parity with ubuntu, which does seem work in the
same environment).
Thanks,
-i
