Scruffyunraid Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I rebuilt/cleaned my computer today cause I got a more fitting case. Once I booted I noticed the usual splash screen id get from the Sata controller didn't show and now my server doesn't see any of the drives I have connected to it. Its reading the four I have connected to my motherboard. I've read a popular post that suggested that Marvell controllers have common issue which is solved by disabling csm but that has not worked for me. Any help would be appreciated! Rivo sata controller So far I've: disabled / enable SVM and IOMMU Add "append iommu=1 amd_iommu=pt initrd=/bzroot" to my syslinux config Solved by removing the GTX 1050 and putting the sata controller in place.

This splash screen is shown as a part of the BIOS setup routine for cards that are found when the system is coming up under the BIOS. The card must be detected first by the BIOS before it can be detected and used by Unraid! I would suspect that you haven't seated the card properly or it is in a socket which does not permit it to be recognized. (PCI-E x1 slots are funny animals. They are often 'tied' to a PCI-E X16, x8 or X4 slot. IF you have a card in one of these slots, strange things can happen.) Quote Link to comment

Funny enough, I felt that my sata card wasn't seated right in this new case for some reason. But surely it must be seated / working if the blue LED is on. Also in my System device I've got this. Unless.. thats my motherboard ports but I'm terribly lost 04:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 9215 (rev 11) EDIT: For reference my Motherboard is the B450M Pro4 and its on the top slot while the bottom two are my graphics cards Edited August 28, 2020 by Scruffyunraid Quote Link to comment
Scruffyunraid Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 So I'm coming to terms that maybe I had purchased a bad controller? I mean it was working for over a month then I decide to rebuild and now it wont detect. Any suggestions for a 4+ port sata controller? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If 5 ports are enough get a JMB585 controller, for more ports get one of the recommended LSI HBAs. Quote Link to comment
Scruffyunraid Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 I seemed to have fixed the problem by switching out the GTX 1050 with the sata controller. If anyone has any other tips that would be helpful. Although I'm willing to pass up on having a GPU passthrough if it means all my drives are working. Just wish I could have both Quote Link to comment
