Hi folks,

maybe this is not really coreboot-related, but I am experiencing an issue with 
the KGPE-D16 that there seems to be no working constellation how the following 
three cards can be put into service:

- nvidia GPU (PCIe 3 x16, takes 1 slot but occupies two)
- ASUS hypercard (PCIe 3 x16, takes 1 slot, has four M.2 slot with PCIe x4 
each), see [1]
- USB3 controller card (PCIe x4, takes 1 slot)

No matter what I try, the hypercard is unable to detect more than two M.2 ssds. 
And only in the following config:

1 (MIO): empty
2: GPU
3: (GPU)
4: Hypercard
5: empty

When I put the USB3 card in 5, only one of the M.2 ssds on the hypercard is 
recognized. Therefore, I also tried swapping stuff in many combinations such as 
the following:

1: empty
2: Hypercard
3: empty
4: USB3
5: GPU

But no matter what I do, there seems to be now way to get all three cards 
working simulaneously. Even with JUST the hypercard and nothing else it will 
only detect two of the three M.2 cards inserted. :/

Seems like the vendor bios has the same issue. My plan now is to get a GPU that 
occupies only 1 slot and put the USB3 card next to it.

Any help and clarifying explanations on this topic are warmly welcome.

Cheers, Daniel
