Marvell Sata controller not recognized on restart

   I'm have an issue with a Marvell 88SE9123 PCIe SATA card.

First, my environment.

ASRock H470M-ITX/ac
Marvell 88SE9123 PCIe SATA
Debian Buster with all the firmware backports

The Marvell card is recognized, along with the 2 hard drives connected to it when the system first starts. If later I do a restart, the card is no longer recognized, and of course neither are the connected hard drives. Dmesg shows nothing for the card on the restart but on the cold start shows all the expected info.

Any ideas about what the cause of this could be? Any info I could gather that would help?

Thanks.

	Blame it on the ASRock motrherboard. Changing the bios setting for the PCIe slot from Auto to Gen1 and the card is now recognized after all boots/restarts. While not an ideal solution as it limits the speed of the PCIe slot to 8GB/s, its OK for me as that is more than SATA III anyway. Also the only disks mounted on the PCIe sata card are parity disks which are rarely accessed and never accesed for real work. How do I close this issue?
