476	"Kernel module ""libahci"" not loaded with a newer SATA controller"	Manuel Carreira Silva	Bruno Cornec	"When booting from a mindi cd in a HP Pavilion DV8 laptop, the CDROM is not found, 
and breaks everything.[[BR]]
The reason is that ""'''libahci'''"" kernel module is not loaded and ""ahci"" module depends on this one.[[BR]]
So, after '''FORCE_MODS=""libahci'''"" the problem is solved.
[[BR]]
But...
I looked for mindi logs in other computers with SATA disks, and the ""libahci"" module was loaded automatically without beeing forced.[[BR]]
Why is this happening with this computer?[[BR]]
A SATA disk is not a rare piece of hardware that we must force to load the driver.[[BR]]
If this is a new SATA controller, maybe other new computers will be build with this hardware.[[BR]]

My question is:[[BR]]

  Wouldn't it be better to include ""libahci"" driver to IDE_MODS variable in /usr/sbin/mindi?[[BR]]



Note:[[BR]]
This is SATA lspci output from HP DV8:[[BR]]
