Hello, I would think you only need to regenerate initramfs (after having switched the UEFI/BIOS to AHCI instead of IDE) because last time it was generated with the dep parameter, the PC was in IDE mode so AHCI was not included. if you want to explicitely specify modules for AHCI usage, I think the name of the module is simply AHCI: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio/Minimal_initramfs
