    Please, have somebody SiI 3132 controller working with MorphOS?
    I tested one on my Powermac G5 Quad (unsupported) with no success.
    It is this controller 20210316_104513.jpg 20210316_104519.jpg

    It have strange behavior:
    I copy the Boot: partition to the disk in the internal controller (+ HFSSetMacBoot), connected 3132 controller to the last/top slot(PCIe x4) and connected SSD with MorphOS to it.
    In the Mac bootmenu (alt) it was nice to see the MOS boot partition on the internal controller. But after boot white screen and nothing.
    I also tried to boot from the CD and also manually run the MosphOS bootmenu from the CD and disk via OF. It all ended the same way. White screen. As if the boot.img kernel has trouble initializing the controller and hangs.

    And more interesting thing is that even if I switch the MOS SSD back to the internal controller, it's the same. White screen.
    With a connected controller (without a disk), I don't boot into Linux either, but it's fine with OSX. Of course, the controller is not recognized.

    So I took out the controller again, and everything is fine - with internal SATAI.

    Controller can be damaged - I will try it on x86 linux or Win later.
    Do you have good experience with 3132? And please, which manufacturer?

    I am rebuilding my Powermac G5 Quad just now.

    Please, can somebody recommend PCIe SATA II SiI3132 controller, which really works in dualcore Powermacs 11,2 ?
    In past I tested one, which is doesn't work.
