[My Armbian does not see my Ssd]

I have the same issue. LeMaker Banana Pi, has been running fine with older Raspbian image. Needed to update it for a few reasons, but SATA not recognized:

 

# dmesg|egrep -i '(banana|ahci|sata)'

also changed to linux-u-boot-bananapi-legacy but made no difference.

 

I can insert older SD card in, and SATA works fine.

PSU is fine.

 

Happy to help troubleshoot.
