Re: Asmedia 0x0624 support in linux kernel - request - update with manually built kernel

["Pongrácz István" <pongracz.istvan@gmail.com>]

Dear Tejun/All,

I just downloaded the ubuntu kernel source version 5.4.140 and I
modified the ahci.c file:

I simply added the extra line with the pci id of the card as shown
below:
 
	/* Asmedia */
 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0601), board_ahci },	/* ASM1060 */
 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0602), board_ahci },	/* ASM1060 */
 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0611), board_ahci },	/* ASM1061 */
 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0612), board_ahci },	/* ASM1062 */
 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0621), board_ahci },   /* ASM1061R */
 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0622), board_ahci },   /* ASM1062R */
+ 	{ PCI_VDEVICE(ASMEDIA, 0x0624), board_ahci }, 



I built the kernel and rebooted the machine.
Now the kernel can see disks attached to the card.
As I just drop some hdds I had around, it seems I got some non-working
hdds, so, I will have to get some proven working hdds to populate all
the 10 sata channels and test them.

Summary: at this point it seems with the modification above this card
could work.

If you need something I should do (test), please let me know, I would
be happy to participate in this test.

Thank you.
