If your SATA disks disappear with the overlay, remove the `user_overlays` line and report here. This does not address runtime crashes under load — I cannot reproduce those on 6.18.43 or 7.1 (30 min fio on 3 disks, 0 errors). With or without your patch (and with/without microvolt patches) I have the issue that I do not see no HDDs nor the pcie controller. Maybe it is related to what you said?
