I am experiencing problems with sata drives being recognized.
It works on first boot and next boot no sata ports/ drives are found.
Using armbian-config >update firmware brings ports back after reboot.
I found a github issue related here
Sata ports not recognized - armbian 24.04 kernel 6.1
FWIW I tested a very early 6.1 kernel on my 5 ITX a while back when it started to appear and found that PCIe was not detected (hence no SATA), so I reverted to 5.10, considering that this kernel was still under active development by then.
It might be possible you’d be facing the same problem. If you can issue “lspci -nn”, it would be useful. Maybe 6.1 doesn’t support the 2x2 split for example, I don’t know.
$ lspci -nn

OK thanks, so at least the SATA controller is properly detected, thus the 2x2 bifurcation seems correct in this kernel. However i don’t understand why it doesn’t see your ports if it recognizes the controller :-/ Have you checked for hints in dmesg ? The SATA controller must be detected and will either indicate what it finds, or an error which justifies why it doesn’t go further. Often, “dmesg|grep -i ata” is sufficient to list most of the relevant messages (plus a few that contain “data” but you don’t care).
same. changed used kernel via armbian-config.
works now
