DS 6.9 sp4 - Linux Intel Rapid Storage (AHCI.ko)

    Hi all,

    We just received our new Lenovo T440 laptops and we are having a hard time getting them to successfully image.

    So far we have created/compiled the e1000e.ko file for the NIC/PXE portion of the boot process. - Works great

    The laptop will bring down the image via a Linux x86 process.

    Once the download gets to 100% we immediately get a message stating "The File Could not be opened", after digging into some of the .log's I narrowed it down to the Linux piece not being able to see the local SSD.

    I am pulling my hair out as to how to create an AHCI.ko file to "hopefully" resolve this issue - No luck - No experience doing this either.

    I see a few articles out there where some of you folks have created AHCI.ko files for older IRST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) versions.  Would someone happen to have a newer AHCI.ko file for the 6.9.9269 (DS 6.9 sp4)/Linux Distro 2.6.27.7 environment?  Or at least point me in the right direction?  I am by no means a Linux expert so I may be a bit slow to understand indepth Linux topics. :)

    A few questions/facts:

    Does DS 6.9 SP6 resolve this issue?  I know there is a new Linux distro that comes with it (6.9.9470).  Right now this isn't an option for us - Too long to explain in a forum thread but if the case can be made....perhaps.

    Our current Linux .frm environment: 6.9.9269

    Linux Distro: 2.6.27.7

    Linux x86 is our method of using Linux in a PXE setup

    Our deploy image job deletes the OEM partion and the Automation partition

    I would really appreciate if someone could assist with this!!
