PCI-E add-on Success & Failures

[guannais]

Another SATA adapter that works:

Code:

jinks ~ # lspci
00:00.0 PCI bridge: Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd Device 0100
01:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device 0625 (rev 01)
jinks ~ # lspci -n
00:00.0 0604: 1d87:0100
01:00.0 0106: 1b21:0625 (rev 01)

But with issues. I consider this chipset buggy, because it gave me problems on both ARM and x86_64. It does not like my DVD writer, and I had to try different port connection configurations to make it to stop giving errors like "exception Emask ..." (like this: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg54099.html), mainly around a WD Purple disk.
