Just wondering why this would happen,
It boots into DD-WRT fine from my m2 drive if I don't have a SATA drive hooked up or the controller is disabled in BIOS. If I have one hooked up and enable the controller, it freezes at this part. No access to console, no lights on keyboard, nothing.

Yes, the newest BIOS is on it.
I have the optiions of AHCI or Intel Optane, I've tried both.
I have had an ssd connected, and this is where it freezes.
If I disable the controller, with or without an SSD conneted it boots (as far as I can recall, I have been into a lot of things lately).
With everying connected (m.2_1 with dd-wrt, m.2_2 with windows 11) and the Mushkin 4TB (with OpenWRT) SATA drive in, and on. I get into the BIOS, and can change which one I boot from, the only one that fails is DD_WRT.
If that helps at all. _________________
