One SATA chip does 6 ports in pairs which also serve as either SATA Express or M.2 drive controllers. these are SATA 3-0 to SATA 3-5, other has 4 SATA ports. System worked in Win 7, but when booting to Kubuntu 16.10 it kept coming crashing during boot with an error of 'Unable to initiate SATA child Parent inactive.' I tried every possible combination, and eventually got the system to load by placing an Optical drive as SAT 3-0, and writing off one of the SATA Express links. Once I got it going I started adding drives back in one at a time, and hit the same problem when I got to the first SATA port on the 2nd chip, and optical drive plugged in there soon fixed that. Another issue was I couldn't create an M.2 drive as the system drive while there was a hard drive connected to the system. Cut it back to just the optical and the M.2 and it let me use the M.2 as the system drive. System now working with SATA 3-0 as optical, SATA 3-1 as 2TB HDD, SATA 3-2/3 as 500GB M.2, SATA 3 -4/5 as 500GB M.2, SATA 3A-0 as optical, SATA 3A-2 as 2TB HDD. Tested, as soon as I move an optical from the first SATA port for the chip I get the error message during the boot- up and it doesn't load. Switch back and it loads OK. I've a work around, but it costs me a SATA Express line. However, you may see others with Skylake chips havign the same issue. I suspect it's an issue with the package checking the hardware during the boot-up, but don't know enough to say for sure.
