I also have a Dell PERC H310, and was having some issues with it. It would boot just fine in my test system (an old Asus P5N-D) but would not boot in either of my newer systems (Asus P7P55D-E Pro or a MSI 970A-G46). I ended up finding this post by MHzTweaker: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=28727.msg256252#msg256252 I ended up having to put a strip of electrical tape over pins B5 and B6 which apparently do this: As soon as I got that electrical tape on, they are booting just fine. Fireball3 posted here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg259006#msg259006 that he was able to flash to P16 firmware. I was not able to do so using his toolset. At the end of this post is a link to my dropbox that has the zip file I used to flash my card to Dell HBA IT firmware. I have also attached a picture of exactly the pins that need covered with the electrical tape. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4jednhrzbnt2tj6/Flash%20Dell%20PERC%20H310%20for%20unRAID%20-%20Custom%20instructions.zip

SOLVED! Solved solved solved! I can across this post from MHzTweaker: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=28727.msg256252#msg256252. In turn, he had posted this link: http://yannickdekoeijer.blogspot.com/2012/04/modding-dell-perc-6-sas-raidcontroller.html Sure enough, after sticking a piece of electrical tape over pins B5 and B6, the card now boots on all of my systems. Attached is a picture. Once I had flashed the card, literally the electrical tape was the thing to get it to work. I've attached a picture of the card, and below is a link to the zip file I used to flash the card. Instructions are in the file. I'll also update the LSI controller thread. https://www.dropbox.com/s/l4kadyukkh2w497/Flash%20Dell%20PERC%20H310%20for%20unRAID.zip

Still no luck. Followed your suggestions, still no boot. I have tried all available PCI2 x16 slots in all of my machines. Only works on the old Asus P5N-D. I tried it in a third system with an AMD board, exact same results (this board doesn't have the memOK feature though). I even have a second, non-flashed H310 that performs exactly the same as the one I flashed (except in the working system, it goes through the BIOS of the card and doesn't work with unraid). Won't boot on the two other systems.

I removed and re-seated both the card and the RAM multiple times, each with the same results: no booting when the H310 is installed. After the first couple times reseating the card, I stopped screwing it in and just let it sit there. I tried removing 3 sticks of RAM and running with one stick in slot B1 with the same results. I will try tonight though running with one stick at a time in each slot and post back with results.

I flashed a H310 with dell HBA firmware using my test system (ASUS P5N-D, 8GB PC2 RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo) and everything went flawless. However, when I moved the RAID card over to my main system (ASUS P7P55D-E Pro, 10GB PC3 RAM, Intel Core i3), it will not even boot. Everything powers on, but it never goes to BIOS or anything. There is a feature on my motherboard called the "MemOK" light. It's an LED that lights up whenever it detects a memory issue. This light comes on every single time I try to boot with the H310 installed. If I remove the H310 and literally touch nothing else, the system starts up fine. Put the H310 back in, light comes on, system won't boot. Does anyone have any ideas?

Please post the output of: VBoxManage list vms Here it is: root@Saidin:~# VBoxManage list vms "<inaccessible>" {7640ff16-f7ea-46a1-900e-527a2bd11992} "SaidinW7VM" {e7894331-f286-4fe4-b803-f41e060d01f1}

I have an issue where a blank VM is showing up in the settings page (see attachment). I think what happened was I manually deleted the VM folder from its disk location, not using phpvirtualbox. The VM doesn't show up in phpvirtualbox, however. I'm sure it's something simple like deleting a setting or config file somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it...
