sf313-53g-757h dual boot not possible no sata option for SSD

Hi,

I'm struggling to make the dual boot Windows / Ubuntu 18.04 working on the above mentioned Acer laptop.

What I've done so long:

Disabled fastboot.
Disabled secure boot.
Shrank the partition on windows to have an empty partition for Ubuntu 18.04.
Tried to set the flag "nvme_loads=YES" before running install from the live USB.
Enable windows safe mode with "bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal".
Updated the bios from V1.06 to V1.08.
Check the hidden options in the BIOS main tab with "ctrl + s" but not Sata options appeared.
Installed Ubuntu 20.04 to check if it was working and it was but I need Ubuntu 18.04 for Jetpack SDK Manager 4.6 because it's not installable on Ubuntu 20.04.

So in short my problem is that I can't make the dual boot work because Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't recognize the SSD when running the installation and I don't have the option in the BIOS to switch from RAID to AHCI.

Does anyone have an idea how to go further in solving the problem ?

Sincerely

Accepted answers

Can you compile just the needed IRST drivers from the 20.04 release into the 18.04 kernel?

Thank you @Easwar for the link, but they have Ubuntu 18.04 installed, but had trouble booting on it afterwards and the had an issue with the AHCI mode. It's not my case I have a problem during the installation I can only see the USB drive to install Ubuntu.

@billsey I have no experience with compiling kernels. I checked on the Web to make a custom kernel but I'm a bit lost. Have you some good tutorials or can you provide me a procedur?
