CL support for Intel AHCI remapped NVMe devices

Hello,

I’m interested if Clear Linux implements some kernel patch for resolving this problem:

“Many current and upcoming consumer products ship with the AHCI controller
in this “RAID” or “Intel RST Premium with Intel Optane System Acceleration”
mode by default. Without Linux support for this remapped mode,
the default out-of-the-box experience is that the NVMe storage device
is inaccessible…”.

This is described more thoroughly here: [PATCH v2 0/5] Support Intel AHCI remapped NVMe devices

Thanks.

We do not.

In my case, the NVMe became visible after changing the BIOS setting from the RAID mode to the more ordinary option.
(I don’t recall but it might have been “AHCI mode.”)

hi @p_m

I think this would be the "default out-of-thr-box experience Can't start up CL on HP Envy 13 ba1000 i5 1135g7 - #10 by ffc91

I bought an HP with RST and can’t start the system, it installs, but doesn’t starts.

I would try anything that helps me run CL on my laptop.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately if your BIOS is locked and you can not change to AHCI mode you will not be able to boot CL on this device.

I got myself a ROG Strix z490-e with 2x240GB M2 nvme from corsair.

If mdnda the OS works fine till some random /boot/efi update or media change…
i cant get the Intel chipset to mount it,
When i use a USB as /boot/efi & add the RAID0 later it sometimes works

Anyway, ill be debugging this till it works, lets share sysinfo & make a checklist of solutions?
