Hi all
I'm experimenting with a Pi5 using the Pimoroni NVMe Base Duo.
In one NVMe slot I have a SSD, in the other a "WANGCL" NVMe-SATA adaptor based on the ASM1166 chip (I think) I got this from Amazon, it's available under a few brands like SUNGOOYUE etc.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/WANGCL-Convert ... 0BVMC37SX/
(edit) the maker's part number for this board is PH516
I am running the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit.
The SSD works fine and the Pi5 boots happily from it.
The SATA controller is detected as an ASM1166.The problems start when I connect a SATA drive to it. I tried with 2 drives that were previously working with a Compute Module 4 IO board and Waveshare PCIe-SATA adaptor board. (I say "working" loosely- my CM4 mostly kernel panics when talking to the SATA adaptor at boot, but if I keep rebooting it eventually succeeds and will then run with no disk errors.)
I get a lot of error messages like:and the system slows down to an unusable point. I can't complete the boot process and read the system logs.
I tried the following options in cmdline.txtAnd in config.txt:None of these made any difference. I also tried a few different ports on the adaptor, and tried swapping slots on the NVMe Base. Regardless of the slot, the SSD works perfectly and the SATA adaptor fails.
Do these error messages and symptoms ring a bell with anyone? Is this a known issue with kernel/firmware, or just dodgy hardware?
Any input much appreciated
