Yaird support for module options
I recently was given a Dell Latitude 610 to use for work. So of course I’m running Debian on it. Tonight, I decided to play a DVD, and realized I had never tried to use the DVD player.
Turns out that with SATA drives, you need to give the module option atapi_enabled=1 to make it work. To get this option into the initrd, I had to create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/local as follows:
options libata atapi_enabled=1
and then recreate the initrd with:
mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-rc5-686 2.6.15-rc5-686
update-grub
and now I’m watching Kill Bill 2.
