I able to modify debian-2.6.32-i686.vmdk using  guestfish.

$ sudo guestfish -a debian-2.6.32-i686.vmdk

Welcome to guestfish, the guest filesystem shell for
editing virtual machine filesystems and disk images.

Type: 'help' for help on commands
      'man' to read the manual
      'quit' to quit the shell

NAME
    ls - list the files in a directory

SYNOPSIS
     ls directory

DESCRIPTION
    List the files in "directory" (relative to the root directory, there is
    no cwd). The '.' and '..' entries are not returned, but hidden files are
    shown.

><fs> ls /etc/modules
modules
><fs> vi /etc/modules
- added acpiphp module and saved
><fs> umount-all
><fs> quit

I just added acpiphp module in /etc/modules.

After instance launch I can see acpiphp loaded:

# dmesg | grep acpiphp
[    0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[    3.131832] acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
[    3.131906] acpiphp: Slot [32] registered
[    3.132009] acpiphp: Slot [33] registered
[    3.132103] acpiphp: Slot [34] registered
[    3.132196] acpiphp: Slot [35] registered
[    3.132289] acpiphp: Slot [36] registered

However, fdisk -l on the launched instance still does not show the recently
attached volume.

After instance reboot I am able to see attached volume:

# fdisk  -l

Disk /dev/sda: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 652 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb: 1073 MB, 1073741824 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 130 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

Any ideas?
