Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series)
BIOS VERSION

DIY Edition information
Memory:
Crucial RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR5 - CT2K16G56C46S5
Storage:
Motherboard 2280 slot - Samsung 980 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVME M.2 SSD (MZ-V8P1T0BW)
Motherboard 2230 slot - Steam Deck E2M2 64GB
Dual M.2 Adapter slot 1/2 - Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2 (SSDPEKNW010T8X1)
**Dual M.2 Adapter slot 2/2 - [Empty]
Port/Peripheral information
Dual M.2 Adapter
Standalone Operation (Laptop Only)
Are you running your mainboard as a standalone device. Is standalone mode enabled in the BIOS?
Describe the bug
I use the SSD in the Dual M.2 Adapter as a scratch drive. It’s where I store all my music and downloads. I dual boot and mainly use auto set Windows 11 as boot OS and delve into Fedora once in a while. However, every time I then go back to Windows 11 from Fedora, it forgets the SSD in the adapter.
The only temporary fix I know at the moment is to install the most current FW16 BIOS update in Windows 11 and restart the laptop. When I reboot the laptop after updating the BIOS, the drive can be seen again. Is there some sort of setting I need to change in the BIOS to make it so I don’t have to do that every time? Do I also have to update the BIOS from the Fedora side as well?
UPDATE: A new issue just came up and I’m most confident that it’s stemming from the recent BIOS update 4.04. If my laptop has been off or sleeping for a long time such as me turning it off before heading to bed, it forgets the expansion bay SSD. As usual a restart is required to make it work again.
Steps To Reproduce
- I boot to Windows and I see the SSD in the Dual M.2 Adapter in windows Explorer.
- Turn off FW16
- Turn it on while tapping F12 key.
- In the BIOS see two boot drives (Windows 11 and Fedora) and I pick Fedora.
- I see a second screen that's black and white and I choose Fedora again. (This is normal to see for me)
- Fedora boots, loads, and I can use it as usual.
- I turn off or restart the laptop and it auto boots Windows 11.
- I log in and open Windows Explorer and it's not there.
Expected behavior
I load boot Windows 11 after rebooting from Fedora and the drive is able to be seen in Windows Explorer.
