[AlmaLinux Users] Re: AlmaLinux 9.3 and SATA controller

Hi, Today I installed the ECS06 Silverstone sata controller and it seems to work. Thank you for your advice. Best regards. Alessandro. Il 22/01/24 02:55, Pawel Suchanecki ha scritto:

Hi Alessandro,

The easiest way to check is by searching for "ASM1166" in the AHCI kernel driver. You can do this on the GitHub repository for the Linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/ata/ahci.c https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/ata/ahci.c. I found that the driver does indeed support ASM1166.

I couldn't locate the exact patch that introduced this change in the kernel source. However, there's a good chance that it is supported in the latest releases, as people have been discussing it on the internet.

Regarding recommendations and stability, I came across a related thread that might interest you. They mention firmware updates as well: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/46589-unexpected-disk-erro... https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/46589-unexpected-disk-erro....

I hope this helps!

p.s. if you need that, I can double-check our kernel sources tomorrow for you.

Hi, I need to buy a SATA3 PCI-E 3.0 2x controller with 4 or 6 port. It will be installed on my workstation. I need to use AlmaLinux or at least Fedora.

Actually I found this:

https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/ https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/

but I can't determine if it is supported by the kernel. The chipset is ASMedia ASM1166 (AHCI). I can't find good results on google search.

How I can check if the controller is supported?

If not what controller do you suggest?

Thank you in advance. Alessandro. _______________________________________________ AlmaLinux Users mailing list -- users@lists.almalinux.org mailto:users@lists.almalinux.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.almalinux.org mailto:users-leave@lists.almalinux.org
