Defective? PCI-E -> SATA card no work good
#1
I'm excited about the RockPro64. It just arrived the other day. Sadly, I can't get the PCI-E -> Sata adapter card (also bought through Pine64) to work.

Symptoms:
System locks up hard when anything tries to touch a drive connected to the PCI-E SATA ports. Something as simple as `lspci -v` or `cfdisk /dev/sda` will lock the system and force a reset. Attempting to mount a partition has the same result.

Things I've ruled out:
It's not the drive. I tried multiple drives, all of which work fine in other systems. I was able to mount and use the same drives on my rockpro64 using an old usb2->sata adapter that I had lying around.
I don't think it's the OS images. I tried ayufan's lxde and minimal images, the latest stable 0.7.9 version.
I don't think it's this flaw: https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=6 ... my board has a date stamp of 2018-06-06 and the schematics in that engineering notice do not match the power regulator design on my board.

Things I suspect:
I'm not an EE and it's likely that I don't know what I'm looking at, but I suspect there may still be a PCI-E power regulation defect in these boards. Yes, despite the hardware rev. `grep pcie /var/log/syslog` turns up lots of weirdness, including:

...halp? What do? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this further. I'm 90% sure this is hardware related. If there is a known fix, I'm a steady hand with a soldering iron or a rework station. If there's not a known fix, is there a way to return this whole setup?
