How to get the libahci and ahci modules in the kernel for arm

Asked by Sean Iffland

I bought a pibox and it supports a Raspberry Pi CM4 module and support for 2 SATA drives. Raspberry Pi OS added support for the libahci and ahci modules to support drives like this (the libata module is required as well but already built into Ubuntu). I would rather use Ubuntu without having to recompile the kernel. A few other other boards have been released that use these modules as well.

Do i open a bug to attempt to get these modules added?

Which Ubuntu release (and kernel version) are you running?

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libahci&mode=filename&suite=lunar&arch=any
shows
/lib/modules/6.2.0-1004-raspi/kernel/drivers/ata/libahci.ko linux-modules-extra-6.2.0-1004-raspi [arm64, armhf]

So it seems that this module is already available for Ubuntu 23.04.

An identically-named kernel module exists also in the kernel packages for older Ubuntu releases.

In case that this does not solve your problem, what exactly are you looking for?

Can you help with this problem?
