I recently installed a PCIe 1X SATA Controller on a free PCIe Slot:
# lspci -nn
06:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device
[1b21:0612] (rev 01)
Subsystem: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device [1b21:1060]
Kernel driver in use: ahci
Which corresponds to:
# lsscsi
[11:0:0:0] cd/dvd ATAPI iHBS112 2 CL0K /dev/sr0
DMESG:

[ 2.091683] ata12: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m512@0xfe510000 port
0xfe510180 irq 73
Under: 3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 (Fedora 17 X86_64)
HW: FX-6100 on 990FX (Asus Sabertooth 990FX, Bios: 1304)
On the ASMedia controller, one port goes to the BluRay Writer
(iHBS112) and the other port goes to the chassis eSATA port (not
tested yet).
I planed to use this controller for two sata hot-swap bays but the
sata cables were short and did not reach the pcie card, so i was only
able to plug both the optical drive and the chassis esata port on this
controller.
The optical drive is detected, but when i first tryied to burn a
bluray, it gave an i/o error (since i was diagnosing a previous
growisofs bug-report i got a strace) then i ejected and reinserted the
media and the system froze.
Then i reset it, but it froze again when the disc was inserted. Then i
power it off and on again and inserted a blank dvd+rw this time to
burn a regular dvd+ but it also froze...
It does not froze if the optical drive is empty. This writer worked ok
while it was connected to the onboard sb950 sata controller.
And the "freeze" does not allways happen on insertion, for some
reason. But i cannot burn with the optical drive without expecting
occasional freezes (or i/o errors).
In the next test, i was able to burn a dvd+r and verify it with K3b. I
also reinserted the media and played some videos, then ejected it.
After that, i wanted to burn another dvd+r and inserted a blank media
and the system froze.
Since my laptop was connected via ssh and doing a tail to the messages
files, i got:

Thanks in advance.
