It was brought to my attention the following BUG:

Avoton server occasionally fails to boot when using SSD disks
connected using ahci driver. When this problem occurs, the disk is
not recognized by the Linux kernel, and the server fails to boot.

* How reproducible:
About once per 5000 reboots on one server. However, if the customer
has several hundred servers, the frequency isn't negligible.
