March 7, 20251 yr I swapped out an old LSI HBA for the ASM1166 based on some feedback, hoping it would solve some issues I was having. The drives aren't showing up. I found some posts saying there was a known issue with my chipset so I upgraded the firmware which should fix it. Looking at something like lspci (I'm far from an expert on the low level hardware stuff) I can see the card at least shows up, but neither of the two drives connected are showing up. # lspci | grep -i asm 0b:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1166 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) I really don't know where to go from here. I've attached my diagnostics, hoping there's some stupid thing somewhere I simply overlooked. serenity-diagnostics-20250307-0659.zip

March 7, 20251 yr Author Thanks. Both drives worked previously with the LSI controller, but you're right....one of them needed the molex fix. Maybe that tape was pulled off when I was swapping out cables.
