Description of problem: RocketRAID 644L e-sata controller can be used without the hardware RAID it provides. Which is good as their driver doesn't compile. When used as just a SATA controller no driver is loaded for it. I apologize as I should submit patches but I'd mess that up. A patch was submitted for the AHCI driver for the RocketRAID 642L in June of 2014. Same chipset. @@ -449,6 +449,8 @@ static const struct pci_device_id ahci_pci_tbl[] = { .driver_data = board_ahci_yes_fbs }, { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MARVELL_EXT, 0x9230), .driver_data = board_ahci_yes_fbs }, + { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_TTI, 0x0642), + .driver_data = board_ahci_yes_fbs }, /* Promise */ { PCI_VDEVICE(PROMISE, 0x3f20), board_ahci }, /* PDC42819 */ The RocketRAID is 0x0645 and maybe should have been done at the same time.

Thank you for the bug report. I can write a patch and build a test kernel with that patch for you to test, but before I do that, what happens after you bind the device, does the controller then work? And if it does not work after binding, what about if you boot with iommu=pt on the kernel cmdline and then manually bind?
Thank you. After binding the drives work as expected. Yes, I'll test a kernel with the patch.
We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. As kernel maintainers, we try to keep up with bugzilla but due the rate at which the upstream kernel project moves, bugs may be fixed without any indication to us. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 27 kernel bugs. Fedora 27 has now been rebased to 4.15.3-300.f27. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
This bug clearly is still relevant. I'm working on preparing a test-kernel now (sorry for the delay). Clearing needinfo.
Ok, a test-kernel which adds the PCI-id for the 644L to both the pci-quirks table and to the ahci driver is building here now: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25346127 Once this is done building (this takes a couple of hours), follow these test-instructions to test: https://fedorapeople.org/~jwrdegoede/kernel-test-instructions.txt Once I've positive feedback from you that this works, then I will submit the patches for this upstream.
