For amd64 CD-ROMs, the package list for CD-ROMs is split between
build/pkg-lists/cdrom/amd64.cfg and
build/pkg-lists/cdrom/isolinux/amd64.cfg. The latter is where, for
example, ata-modules is listed.
In general, installer builds that include(d) virtio-modules, and aren't
meant for netboot, should include scsi-modules. (scsi-{common,extra}-
modules are also mentioned in some lists, but they no longer exist.)
I think this patch will fix arm64:
--- a/build/pkg-lists/cdrom/arm64.cfg
+++ b/build/pkg-lists/cdrom/arm64.cfg
@@ -13,6 +13,8 @@ virtio-modules-${kernel:Version} ?
usb-storage-modules-${kernel:Version}
# USB and firewire cdroms both need this.
scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version}
+# Support for SCSI cdroms.
+scsi-modules-${kernel:Version}
# Real ATA hardware needs this.
sata-modules-${kernel:Version}
--- END ---
There are two other lists that look like they might be for netboot-ish
builds, but I'm not sure:
build/pkg-lists/generic/s390.cfg
build/pkg-lists/generic/s390x.cfg
