Thanks. I did see that. But, in newegg, there are reviews dated much
later than above complaining about ubuntu 14.04 installs failing with
ASMedia enabled. So, I concluded that it is iffy. I could not see any
consistent message of positive result.
I use ASMedia controllers myself, onboard and as standalone card.
They were cheap (much cheaper than getting a board with additional
ports using the same chipset really) and I don't need the PCIe slots
for anything else.
They work fine in AHCI mode for HDD, with mdadm software raid.
If you have a CD drive hooked to it the kernel will crash.
Until you add libata.atapi_passthru16=0 to your cmdline.

Andreas,
Thanks a lot. Now I feel a lot more confident trying out extreme6. I
usually put all my boot related (cd, primary sdd) on intel any way. So,
CD drive should not be a problem.
