nvme drive is in the bottom slot, oculink adapter going to a powered external pci-e adapter in the top nvme slot. i was able to plug a non-gpu in it and get a device to detect. just both my intel arc gpus failed to detect. edit, new discovery, when the fpga device is active on the 2nd nvme slot i can no longer see my original nvme drive if booting off the sd card. very strange. almost like its a lane bifrucation issue. ignore that, misconfig on my end.

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i was able to get it to recompile the kernel with the xe driver flag turned on, and got a working booting 6.18.9 image, which is amazing, i have never been able to get anything newer than the 6.6 kernel the manufacturer provided working. so thank you so much for all your hard work. theres only one problem, when i do the lspci command, i dont see anything attached to that slot. i tried two different intel arc gpus, an arc 350 and an arc 310 neither detects. so i pulled out an ibm fpga card and plugged it into the same powered oculink adapter, and lo and behold the fpga card detected, so my pcie adapter setup is good. is there any advice you could offer besides enabling the xe2 driver in kernel that i may have to persue? i know this is kind of off topic, id just like to get hardware accelerated graphics working on this device.

so i am testing your edge build of 6.18 kernel and it works great. but one of the things i would like to do is to enable the intel and amd graphics drivers for testing(ive got an external intel gpu on the nvme slot). on normal debian i just download the kernel do a make menuconfig and specify, im new to armbian and see it uses a compile.sh script. i didnt see a branch on your github for the edge kernel, just saw rv2 and rv2-ky. so im kind of curious as to where i clone from to get your edge kernel branch.
