Barbapapa Posted December 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2018 Hi, I have problems getting my pci-e sata controller working. I checked the hardware supported list and the Sil 3132controller should be compatible. After installing it the drives are not recognizes. I already tried to change the grub satamapping to 62 (6onboardsataports and 2 on the external card) but this is not working. Anybody that can help me ? for the record after installing the card a new reinstall is not necessary right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) @Barbapapa are your drives configured as AHCI ? What bootloader and DSM are you trying to use it with? Edited December 27, 2018 by bearcat Added a Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bootloader and DSM are you trying to use it with? @bearcat my chipset H110 only support AHCI so this is the default setting (no other option possible) I use the following bootloader and DSM version: DS3615XS V6.1 Baremetal Jun's Mod V1.02B DSM 6.1.4-15217 dont know if it is because the chipset is very limited but when I go into my Bios I cant select a drive thats connected with my pci-e satacontroller those are not visible when I go to harddisks.

bearcat Posted December 27, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 27, 2018 @Barbapapa I see, does your extra controller show up, with the connected drives, during POST, before it boots from the USB? From what I can see, that Sil3132 is a RAID controller, is there a way to configure it to be a "plain" SATA controller, not using RAID? What version is the built-in BIOS of the controller? You might have to reflash the BIOS to make it a non-raid card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to reflash the BIOS to make it a non-raid card. @bearcat dont know what i did but right now I can see the controller and drive while booting. its also possible to enter the raid bios, I have only 1 disk attached jbod so there is no raid configured. the sil3132 is indeed a raid controller but i thought this should be no problem as what i have seen on the compatibility list. dont know if it is possible to reflash it to a nonraid controller. now i see it while booting I went into the grub loader and used the following command Appandix SataPortMap=62 (6 for the onboard en 2 for the controller after the command i pressed esc and did a baremetal start but without succes.
