SATA drives not detected
# │forum
n
I have a Turing Pi 2 with a Nano Jetson in slot 1 and CM4s in slots 2-4,. The CM4s are running Ubuntu 23.04 and, in slot 3, there's an 8GB RAM/32GB eMMC module. My problem is that this node won't show any SATA drives that I've tested (2x12TB Arsenals and a 6TB Toshiba) as connected. 
lsblk
shows the eMMC (mmcblk0) and snaps mounted on loop* but my 6TB & 12TB drives won't show. Any ideas on what I should be looking at/for?

Try to install 
linux-modules-raspi-extra
via 
apt
, restart the node and see if this helped

Looks like it's 
linux-modules-extra-raspi
on 23.04 because, why not, but it's installing now.
Well, it was a good thought but no joy -- still just the eMMC and loop devices.

Any chance to test under Ubuntu 22.0 LTS (with this package) or Raspberry Pi OS (works out of the box and will be the best test)?
I mean RPi OS would just let us make sure things are working in general
n
Possibly. I used Raspberry Pi's handy new installer and was surprised when it installed 23.04.

You mean Raspberry Pi Imager? YOU have to choose a distro there, it is not choosing it for you
n
Ah, sure enough, I didn't scroll down far enough or read close enough. Anyway, imaging it with Raspberry Pi OS now.
OK, I've now tested slot 3 with three different CM4s running Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) and Ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit) (with 
linux-modules-extra-raspi
) with three different drives, using an external 450w power supply. I can hear the drives spin up when the node boots; however, lsblk only shows the eMMC and lspci shows no PCI devices at all consistently across all permutations.
Copy code
$ lsblk
NAME         MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0      179:0    0  7.3G  0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1  179:1    0  256M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk0p2  179:2    0    7G  0 part /
mmcblk0boot0 179:32   0    4M  1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:64   0    4M  1 disk
rando@rpi-node3:~ $ lspci
rando@rpi-node3:~ $
What else can I do?

This might mean something's wrong with the board. Are you absolutely sure you tested node 3? If yes, you might need to RMA the board: https://help.turingpi.com/hc/en-us ->

Hi I also face this issue. Does not matter what OS (Ubuntu Server, DietPi, Raspi OS). The SATA device is not detected. Has there been some clarity on this topic meanwhile?

Please create a #1103596074331025438 thread with your issue, describe it, and attach some photos of how did you connect up things. We'll debug your issue and see what may be wrong.

Just thought I'd update this thread if someone has the same issue in the future, in my case my CM4 lite wasn't seated into the carrier board fully, bottom connector clicked in fully but not the top, (or might have been the other way around) booted up ok but no sata until I seated correctly. A little embarrassing, I've been running the module like this for over a year.
