Dear GRUB developers,
as reported to the coreboot mailing list already [1][2], using GRUB
(4778) as a payload [3] on the AMD SB800 based ASRock E350M1 [4], the
SATA disk attached to the SATA controller is not found when the
controller is in AHCI mode. Using IDE mode works.

SeaBIOS [5] has no problem initializing the controller and strangely it
seems to work on Intel based hardware too.
I’ll gladly test patches and provide more information.
Thanks,
Paul
