FWIW, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my AMD FX-based system

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.
I'm afraid I've communicated poorly here. I was just playing around
with it, and was surprised it worked as well as it did on an unsupported
system.
If/when adding AMD support becomes a priority, I'll be happy to help
with testing, etc. Until then, I'm happy with what we already have.
Actually, I'm planning on getting a refurbished ThinkPad soon, so I
should be able to join the supported hardware club! With some luck, I
will try to use Genode as my "daily driver", since I already run
everything in VirtualBox VMs.
