[SOLVED]AHCI controller unavailable! When Booting From iso

When trying to install Arch I am the initial boot seems to fail, I have booted with loglevel=7 and the following is obtained:

Here is what I have tried:

booting with nomodeset param.

2 different USBs and multiple different ports.

Booting from a burned CD.

I’m using an old ASRock motherboard, with the BIOS SATA settings on AHCI.

I have tried to find solutions from people with a similar problem with no luck, any help is much appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED]AHCI controller unavailable! When Booting From iso

Is there a BIOS upgrade for the motherboard?

What hardware are you using (i.e. hdd, ssd, single or multiple devices) and have you tried plugging into a different sata port as the page you linked shows there are 2x different storage controllers on that board?

edit: did you also search before posting? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244744 for instance

Re: [SOLVED]AHCI controller unavailable! When Booting From iso

I upgraded the BIOS to the latest a few years ago and there has not been a release since.

I have an ssd with Windows installed, A hhd that I have partitioned for the Install.

have you tried plugging into a different sata port as the page you linked shows there are 2x different storage controllers on that board?

plugging what exactly? The install image, sorry I’m a bit unsure about this.

I have tried to find solutions from people with a similar problem with no luck

I have gone through any post I could find about this issue on this forum, other Linux forums and Reddit, including the one above. Sadly no luck.

[SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

I’ve been experiencing this issue on and off since I first set up Arch.

Sometimes when I reboot the system, the system freezes up at

I can’t quite find any pattern for when this happens. I suspend my PC a lot, maybe that has something to do with it?
I’ve checked my BIOS and my only SATA drive is set to use AHCI. I know not what else to look at for this. Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Edit: This has happened across many kernel versions, but I’m currently

Re: [SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

Which MB do you have? Can you try Ports from another Controller, if existing? Did you try resetting the Bios by taking the Mb-battery out for >5 seconds?

Re: [SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

Do you think it could be a hardware problem?
I previously had Windows 10 installed, and it would occasionally not boot up past the spinning blue circle. I always blamed that on the OS.

I have only this one HDD so I have plenty of other SATA ports. Does another controller mean another port or another set of ports? (Two are white, one’s blue. I don’t know the difference). I can certainly try connecting the hard drive somewhere else.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

Are you using the most up to date bios, in this case 2501?
Following your MB’s manual, you have a AMD-Controller => gray ports, and a ASMedia-Controller => navy blue ports.
Take at look at 1.2.9 here: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/S … V3_WEB.pdf.
If not using, you should stick with the AMD one. Otherwise, I would try the Asmedia ports and see if the problem persists.

Perhaps its a hardware problem, but just lets hope the best. It also can be a firmware problem I guess

Re: [SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

I’m running 2501.

I’ll try switching to the other controller and see how things go.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

There is a high chance that it is a hardware problem with the motherboard.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch randomly not booting — AHCI controller unavailable!

There is a high chance that it is a hardware problem with the motherboard.

There is a similar Post on reddit, descring the same problem with this mb. The problem seemed to be solved by changing from Asmedia-Controller to AMD.

I think this thread can be marked as solved.

Проблемы с установкой LINUX

Такая вот беда, решил поставить себе линукс. Новичек в этом. При установке или запуске лайв режима, выходит сообшение об ошибке «ahci controller unavailable». пробовал разные версии — debian, ubuntu, mint, kali везде одно и тоже, в биосе AHCI выставлен и на привод и на хард, скрин увы приложить не могу. На виртуалке все скачаные мной образы работают отлично

пробовал эти же версии ставить на 2 других компа, все идет как по маслу. Но одна система таки запустилась в live, это Tiny Core.

В интернете не нашел ответ, такое чувство что я первый кто с этим столкнулся. Прошу помощи, так как бьюсь над этим уже месяц

У тебя или очень древний комп, или неверный режим sata в биосе/uefi. Переключи с ahci на ide и попробуй заново.

Переключал, все так же. А мат плата такая ASROCK B75 PRO3-M

Сделай скрин экрана с ошибкой

выруби богомерзкий уефи и вруби божественный легаси, секьюрити бот — выруби

Спасибо, сейчас попробую

Не забудь ahci врубить обратно, раз проблема не в режиме.

Прошу прощение за качество) Ошибка — https://imgur.com/a/nnnsc98

Ты с флешки ставишь? Воткни её в юсб-порт который стандарта 2.0, а не 3.0.

первое время пробовал с флешки, и 2.0 и 3.

И ошибка всегда одинаковая? Какие у тебя в «биосе» есть настройки относящиеся к сиди-приводу?

всегда, на всех линуксах, только tinycore робит. Да особых никаких нет, приоритет приводов и boot, сомневаюсь что в приводе дело, если с флешек такая же история получается

Ну и UEFI режим привода, его тоже пробовал включать, без изменений.

Что только не пробовал, и хард отключал, и разъемы переставлял, биос обновлял.

И что удивительно, нет в интернете про это ничего, только ссылки на код из репозиториев

Да ладно — http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=4:99542
У тебя привод в «биосе» в ide mode переключается?

Я искал так «ahci controller unavailable» в ковычках, и не встречал чтоб кто то писал про эту ошибку

Переключается, раз по 10 в день, в надежде что тыкну куда то и все заработает)

Почитал статью, у меня то грузится, менюшка с выбором live или установить, а вот когда выбираешь уже, выходит такое вот

Я просто забыл как это называется в биосе и искал так:
«cdrom ahci mode»
Так в режиме IDE какую ошибку выдаёт?

Тогда я пасс. У меня пока идеи кончились.

Кое что поменялось, в этот раз. Щас скину фото

зачем тебе этот глючный дьявольский линукс? сиди на богоизбранной священной винде.

Но эта ahci controller unavailable , все равно проскакивает там

Это с отключенным уефи? Честно, я пасс. С таким уже лет десять не сталкивался.

Да, с отключенным. Эх, все равно спасибо тебе большое что уделил время)

Последняя попытка. Попробуй сбросить настройки биоса в дефолт, посмотри и убедись, что включены uefi и ahci и попробуй загрузиться с флешки с centos 7 воткнутой в usb2 порт.

Хорошо, спасибо большое. Завтра отпишусь о результатах

Реальная ошибка, если правильно путаю, все-таки
Kernel panic — Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast

Говорят, раннее обновление микрокода процессора могло помогать на Intel-ах от подобной беды.

Могу предложить попробовать качнуть Slackware64 14.2 или current, попробовать с ней (по крайней мере ядро точно отличается от debian-ubuntu-mint-kali).

Если не погрузится как есть, пересоберу initrd.img с установочного диска с обновлением микрокода, посмотрим, поможет ли.

Кстати, на матплате с SATA коннекторами есть выбор по контроллерам:
SATA 3:
— 3 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors:
— 1 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connector by Intel® B75, supports NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug functions
— 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors by ASMedia ASM1061, support NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug functions

SATA 2:
— 5 x SATA2 3.0 Gb/s connectors, support NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug functions

По мануалу:
SATA3_0, Gray
SATA2_x, Black
общим количеством 6 штук.
This motherboard adopts Intel® B75 chipset that supports Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks for SATA3_0 connector.

It also adopts ASMedia ASM1061 chipset that supports Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks for SATA3_A0 and SATA3_A1 connectors.
Эта пара возле питания.

Можно и в этом направлении эксперимент провести.

Бесполезно. Но я попробовал установить через netinstall. Грузил с флешки, установка, выбор языка, сервера, все это идет нормально. Как доходит до определения оборудования зависает на 0%

AHCI controller unavailable! (ABANDONED)

I’m trying to install Linux Cinammon Mint on a brand new PCSpecialist mini pc.

I’ve installed Linux on a couple of old laptops and a PC in the past. But I’m definitely not a geek. Bumbling through with fingers crossed and lots of help from online searches.

But this has failed so far. Installation hangs with a message “AHCI controller unavailable!” So I’m looking for additional help. All advice gratefully received.

Operating System is a temp Windows 10, as is PCS’s helpful habit. We want to replace it with latest version of Mint. Which is Linux Mint 20 «Ulyana» — Cinnamon (64-bit).

I downloaded the Linux operating system, and verified the ISO. Burnt it to a USB stick. Seemed fine.

Installation went fine, changing the boot order in BIOS/UEFI to go to the USB stick. It offered the familiar menu of what to do from the ISO stick. I chose install linux in compatibility mode. It had a few pages of screed, then just hung. Here’s a couple of screen pics from recent attempts. Had to unplug from power to get the PC working again.

Since then I have tried the following. None made any difference.

• Created an ISO of an earlier version—Linux Mint 19.3 «Tricia»
  • • Burnt Ulyana to a DVD and tried to boot from that.
    • Turned off fast boot on Windows 10 through control panel. Made sure Secure Boot was disabled in UEFI (it already was).

I can only find quite techy info on what the AHCI controller is. And don’t know why it would be unavailable. (Was hopeful when I learnt about Fast Boot, but it didn’t make a difference.)

«AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

I’m currently trying to install the latest version of Ubuntu on a custom build desktop PC. My intention is to dualboot with Windows (so I already have Win10 installed with space on my SSD for Ubuntu). However whenever I go to Try or Install Ubuntu, I’m getting boot errors.

At first I was getting the following:

Looked up the first error code, apparently this is an issue with Nvidia drivers, so booting without graphics drivers (e.g. this answer fixed that particular one. But now I have the following error:

The SATA Configuration in the BIOS is set to AHCI and there’s nothing else obviously wrong (secure boot is disabled, Windows specific options are off, etc). My specs are:

MSI Mpower Z97 Motherboard (with latest 2016 bios)
Intel i7-4770k CPU
GTX 980 4gb GPU
Boot drive is Sandisk Ultra II SSD

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

Were you able to solve this? I’m having a similar issue when installing.

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

Hello and welcome to the forum donkus please start your own thread so you can get the help you need instead of posting in someone else’s thread.

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

I mean, no one ever responded to my thread in the first place and the issue didn’t get resolved — not unreasonable to bump a thread in that situation IMO.

No, unfortunately I never got past this error. I read that it may be because I was installing 18.10 instead of 18.04LTS but honestly I just got tired of messing around with bootable USB’s and gave up. Might give it another try with LTS and then upgrade, though I’m worried that will just brick my installation.

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

Many (even new) SSD need firmware updates to work. Have you updated firmware?

Next older model, issues could be the same:

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

Alright, so I took another shot at this today, using the new 19.04 release.

First thing I did was update my SSD firmware using Sandisk’s tool. It did need an update, so I’m now running the latest version. That said other reviews have said the same SSD worked out the box for them on Ubuntu (albeit an older version).

Then I went back to my BIOS, disabled anything that I think might have been causing conflicts (Intel rapid start for SSD’s, Windows 8.1/10 fast start features) and double-double-checked that my hard drive mode was set to AHCI:

I boot to the USB, ‘Try Ubuntu (Safe Graphics)’ (since trying without safe graphics, as before, causes a nouveau error that somehow isn’t fixed yet?) — and there’s the AHCI controller error again.

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

Please attach screen shots.
Easy to do with Forum’s advanced editor and the paperclip icon.

With nVidia you need nomodeset.
And now with 19.04 checking the install proprietary drivers should auto install a correct nVidia driver (not necessary the newest) where before you had to also boot install using nomodeset & then add nVidia driver yourself.
At grub menu you can use e for edit, scroll to linux line and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

I actually found the ‘safe mode’ graphics option seemed to bypass the need for ‘nodemodeset’ which I used previously, so the installed skipped straight to the AHCI error.

As mentioned in my first post, I’m running the latest BIOS for my motherboard (1.B, which appears as 1.11 in the setup screen). I tried using the ACPI=OFF parameter and the nomodeset so my boot looked like this:

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

Do you have multiple USB devices plugged in, or a multi-port device?
It seems that is also an error.

It sure looks like UEFI is set for AHCI, so do not know why it is saying AHCI not available.

Re: «AHCI Controller Unavailable» error installing Ubuntu 18.10

I suspect it’s complaining about my Inateck USB expansion card, as the only USB hub I have connected is on my monitor which is usb3-3 (and it successfully detects that I have a Blue Microphone plugged into it). The only other USB ports not directly on the motherboard I/O are on my case, but one of them is being used for the bootable USB, so is clearly working fine.

Is there a way to get a more detailed log to diagnose the issue further, or is this as much detail as I can get?

UPDATE: It’s now working.

I tried everything I could think of, including removing my USB expansion card, other hard drives, and extraneous USB devices. None of that worked.

What worked in the end was disabling my motherboard’s external SATA controller (and enabling SATA hot plugging, but I doubt that was what fixed it), which was previously set to AHCI. Presumably Ubuntu was trying and failing to use this — I’m not sure why it would or why it was failing though.
