So to me is sounds like the latest kernel probably works because BIOS has marked the port as either hotplug capable or external, even though you claim that hotplug is disabled in BIOS. Most likely it is this commit that made things work for you: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ae1f3db006b71b78f2cae848b3a1446b02818ca7 I don't remember when that was merged, but it was after 6.9. So because BIOS has marked the port as external, LPM will be disabled, masking the problem. However, as 6.9 did not work (which will have LPM enabled), it seems quite clear that there is bug with the AMD controller together with your WD drive. Even if the latest kernel will work for you, we probably still want to quirk the AMD controller, since other motherboards with this controller might not have marked the ports as hotplug capable or external. Kind regards, Niklas
