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.
