virtio-scsi not packaged in Precise installer kernel

[Mike Harris]

I'm trying to install Precise on a QEMU VM using the virtio-scsi driver. The guest kernel driver, module virtio-scsi, doesn't seem to be included, so my guest has no hard drives. I think this should be packaged in the virtio-modules udeb. The LTS kernel package has the module, so once Precise installs it should work fine.

mwharris@mwharris-glaptop:~/Downloads$ dpkg-deb --contents virtio-modules-3.11.0-18-generic-di_3.11.0-18.32~precise1_amd64.udeb | grep virtio_sci
mwharris@mwharris-glaptop:~/Downloads$

The newer Trusty installer has it though:

mwharris@mwharris-glaptop:~/Downloads$ dpkg-deb --contents virtio-modules-3.13.0-24-generic-di_3.13.0-24.46_amd64.udeb | grep virtio_scsi
-rw-r--r-- root/root 28044 2014-04-10 13:19 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.ko

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1315462

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Mike Harris (mwharris-h)]

This is an installer bug, there's no apport-collect when it breaks. Marking as confirmed.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-saucy' to 'verification-done-saucy'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
