It also booted on my AMD Ryzen 5 system but it did not detect SATA drives.
FWIW, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my AMD FX-based system mostly worked - the SATA hard drive wasn't detected, but the on-board (Realtek) NIC worked, as did an external USB hard drive.
I haven't tried virtualization yet (because I can't wipe the external drive), but I will try it when I can.
as written on the Sculpt TC release website, a _recent_ Intel-based PC is the main target. So, AMD machines may work to some degree, but it is not expected to work well.
Regarding SATA/AHCI and AMD, in Sculpt TC the driver manager only considers Intel AHCI chips [0], so your SATA disks can't work since no driver is started at all.
It would be great, if AMD users out there test/debug our AHCI driver with some simpler scenario and open up feature issues on github, so that it be added for the next releases.
Cheers,
Alex B.
