Thanks Nicholas, you did some digging! Correct me though, if I am wrong and misunderstanding this thread... It appears that this is about how to make it possible to boot from an SSD, and the problem that is being addressed is the fact that the BIOS did not have a module for supporting AHCI, just for RAID. So the solution being presented was how to add the AHCI support to the BIOS. As I noted in my previous post, it appears that in my BIOS I do have the option to switch to AHCI, so apparently it seems this has been addressed by AMI and ASUS.
And as I also mentioned, I tried to switch to AHCI but it gave the boot loader for Windows 10 troubles and I was no longer able to boot up Windows 10. So I am not sure how to make these two OS's play nice with each other, and still looking for a workaround...
Marc... yes i did some more digging and found recent threads, confirming the bios update, and like you, cannot then boot win10 with AHCI. So this would now appear a windows/drive problem? maybe consult google again regarding nvme/ahci/raid/windows. If windows supports ahci then there will always be repair/reinstall if all else fails.
Windows doesn't boot in AHCI mode because Windows wasn't installed in AHCI mode, it was in IDE mode. If you switch, it won't boot. Instructions on how to do this are found by doing a Google search. So for testing I would take the Laptop out of RAID mode, forget about if Windows boots or not, switch to AHCI mode in the BIOS, and then see if the openSUSE installer loads. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
