Usually when I come across a system like this, Ijust flash the firmware to an IT mode so we get just an AHCI system with JBOD, but sometimes it is not practical for remote systems or if we fear that flashing is too risky if something goes wrong.
In this case, we unfortunately have to use LSI/Broadcom proprietary CLI tools (megacli) to even make the drives visible.
Step 1 - Download MegaCLI
The official broadcom packages lack .deb packages and only have .rpm for........
If you are installing ta-lib for Python and get this error then you can normally solve it by manually getting the ta-lib source files and compiling.

You might assume you have a bad drive or the SATA interface/cable is bad, or the power supply is bad/weak to the drive. These are all possible issues, but definitely check your SATA cable for "twisting". It is a big issue because until the error stops or times out, your system will not boot (in my case this was the case even though the drive with the issue was not part of the OS or booting process at all).

How to check if nested KVM is enabled by doing a cat on nested inside sys
Nested KVM is mainly important for testing for example if you wanted to install VMWare or Proxmox Nodes in a virtual environment for testing. Without nesting, the performance will be extremely slow, since the VMs within the nodes will not be using Virtualization extensions.
