Updating the m1015, point 5
5. Reflash controller to IT-mode.
sas2flsh -o -f 2108it.bin -b mptsas2.rom
coming up with no LSI adapter found
Have tried 2 different boards any pointers/help?
Just an update , first board has a uefi bios, so will try again with the version of sas2flsh to support uefi , 2nd board was a bog standard HP board (m1015 didnt light up)
UPDATE: Just got it working. phew! ended up using my old asus motherboard. Tried various dells and hp's in work trying to flash it, but nothing would pick it up (thought i had bricked it !)
thanks
