Bug Description

I install Ubuntu on my SATA drive.

In U-Boot I set up a boot option for it:

=> efidebug boot add -b 0002 'Ubuntu new install' scsi 0:1 EFI/ubuntu/grubriscv64.efi
=> efidebug boot order 0002

The system does not boot automatically from SATA after reboot.

pci enum
scsi scan
bootefi bootmgr

works fine.

The initialization of the SCSI sub-system seems to be missing.

u-boot_2022.01+dfsg-2ubuntu3.debdiff Edit (6.0 KiB, text/plain)

The appended debdiff

* enables booting via SCSI and USB on SiFive Unmatched
* In u-boot-sifive.postinst adds support for partition names Loader1, Loader2 as the installer image uses these.

Changed in u-boot (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Confirmed
