I've just installed a generic SATA PCIe x1 4-port controller in my Ubuntu 21.10 Mate, (with kernel 5.13) box and found it didn't work. (Well the drives were detected but gparted hangs and errors). It uses the ASMedia 1064 chip. Motherboard is MSI b460m pro-vdh wifi. I've upgraded to the 5.15.2-051502-generic kernel with no change.

lspci -v shows, as far as I know, the correct information:-

04:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device 1064 (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])
    Subsystem: ZyDAS Technology Corp. Device 2116
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 149
    Memory at 92182000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
    Memory at 92180000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
    Expansion ROM at 92100000 [disabled] [size=512K]
    Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
    Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
    Capabilities: [80] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
    Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
    Capabilities: [130] Secondary PCI Express
    Kernel driver in use: ahci
    Kernel modules: ahci

However, if I boot manjaro-mate-21.1.2-210907-linux513.iso on same hardware (using a USB Stick), Manjaro works fine. I was able to rsync about 70Gs off the drives with no errors.

lspci -v looks pretty similar, and so does the ata/ahci driver files - although they are shown as .ko files on Ubuntu and .xz on Manjaro.

modinfo ahci on both machines show a version 3 driver.

Can anyone suggest what to do to get this controller working on Ubuntu.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
