Thanks for chiming in. I'm not familiar with either of the issues you mentioned. Do you have any references where I could read up on them? Artem's system has a PCIe-to-PCI bridge (not a PCI-to-PCIe bridge) at 05:00.0, but it leads to [bus 06] and there's nothing on bus 06, so I don't think that's the problem. And the issue affects both USB and a hard drive, so I suspect it's more than just SATA. Artem, did you identify the PCI devices leading to your USB and hard drive? I can't remember if I've actually seen that.
