Description of problem: I tried to install Mageia 9 Alpha on an Acer Aspire 3 A315-56, but the hard drive is not detected by Mageia. I also booted on a live image and the hard drive is not recognized either. I've had "nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=14000" in the boot sequence, with no more sucess. the dmesg result is here : https://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-30287-1+disque-non-detecte-sur-machine-neuve.php#m307086 PC configuration here : https://www.acer.com/fr-fr/support?filter=productdetails&search=NXHS5EF0272300D55D3400;NX.HS5EF.027;A315-56 I also try Mageia 8 live iso and Mint 21 Cinnamon with same result.
From the dmesg output ... [ 0.325100] ahci 0000:00:17.0: Switch your BIOS from RAID to AHCI mode to use them

Hi, I can't find an option to change the sata mode in the bios. It is in Optane without Raid mode, but I can't find where to change this option in the Bios. The first page is inaccessible for modification! The screenshots are here https://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-30287-1+disque-non-detecte-sur-machine-neuve.php#m307168
See https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/583248/change-sata-mode-to-ahci-acer-aspire-3-a315-54k-59nz If I'm understanding it, select (highlight) "Optane without RAID" and press f5 or f6 to change it to AHCI.
Thank's I found this : https://community.acer.com/en/kb/articles/13993-how-to-change-sata-mode-to-ahci I've changed the sata mode to Ahci with sucess. I'm now try to boot with live iso.
I managed to boot with the Mageia 9 live iso without placing a special command to the kernel. The disk is now visible and I managed to prepare the partitions for a Mageia installation. Thanks to you for your help. Olivier
Thanks to Dave for his advice, & Olivier for his feedback.
Resolution: (none) => FIXEDStatus: NEW => RESOLVED
Changing to invalid since this was not a bug in Mageia.
