Notebook does not see mPCIe card (asm1061)

arch-serv · 2015-02-13 18:19:40

Aloha Community,

i am using an old notebook as a small server (cups/ftp/http/etc).

The Notebook is an old Dell Inspiron 1520.

I attached three 3,5'' HDDs to it which are powered via an external PSU.

the first HDD is connected to the original sata-port.

the other two are connected to a ASMedia ASM1061 Sata-controller. This controller sits on a small mPCIe card which i fitted on one of the three mPCIe slot the Notebook offers me (i tried all three).

In Bios all mPCIe-Slots are activated, still the OS does not see the HDDs.

also lspci seems not to see the card. Any ideas?

Well it will require little more info like :

dmesg | grep -i sata

lsblk

also i did not see 2nd sata controller, i only see that you have 1 - 00:1f.2
is it possible that you accidenttly disable it ?

arch-serv · 2015-02-13 18:59:12

that's the problem i guess... according to the bios settings all mPCIe slots are enabled, still the card does not show up.

even without the correct drivers the card shoud show up in the output of lspci shouldn't it?

In theory YES, but that depends, best case is to load some debian/ubuntu live distro and see if it happens to see the controller at last and if they can find it just check out which modules are loaded

arch-serv · 2015-02-13 21:20:59

okay. will try it.

edit: the latest ubuntu also is unable to detect the card.

Also when just connecting HDDs via the mPCIeCard it says no bootable media found.

maybe the card is just defective?

will return the card and hope to get a working one

thanks for the help anyway!
