+Hi Jim,
+
+We are working on our next-gen SATA IP and it no longer requires xhci-
+xgene driver but instead would work with just the standard ahci-platform
+driver. On testing this, we just realize that ahci-platform.ko is
+present in CentOS installer initrd, but on installation completion, it
+is missing from initramfs.
+
+We would appreciate if you can take care of this for the next build.

Hi Jim, it appears that this is not an issue, but just the way initramfs
is
created such that only the required drivers are installed. We thought that
dracut "hostonly" is not the default?

Our issue is only when we upgrade BIOS (requiring new SATA driver) and
boot over an
existing installation with the old SATA driver. A fresh installation is of
no issue.
