This is not a SATA/etc. controller; it appears to be an SD-card
controller.

This is also not a SATA controller; it appears to be a TPM or similar.

On my system, 'lspci -nnk | grep -A 2 SATA' reports:

I.e., the SATA controllers are identified with the label "SATA
controller". I suspect that this will be true on most systems.

At a glance based on descriptions so far, it looks as if the UEFI is not
passing the existence of the hard drives on to the OS, for whatever reason.

Could you provide the full 'lspci -nnk' output, just in case there's a
detail that's not being noticed as relevant?
