Hello.
If you have an Intel S5000PAL based mainboard, you might hit this issue.
It appears this was fixed in the latest discover-data from debian, but
it isn't what is in the systemimager pieces bundled with oscar.
It was unclear to me if I should also ask the systemimager
folks about this since, eventually, they'll get the change from
upstream discover-data I hope :)
The issue is, if you have the S5000PAL passive backplane , you would
need the 'ahci' driver loaded to see the disks. Unfortunately,
discover-data doesn't fully know about the pci IDs for this device.
The result is: no disks are found to image.
Here is a patch that worked for us. We build systemimager via a spec
file and we just pushed this patch in to the systemimager 'patches'
directory. We name it in such a way that systemimager picks up the
patch as it "builds" discover-data.
