Since that is also an IBM machine, maybe there is some check for "IBM" hardware that throws this out.

Maybe there is an option to disable this feature in BIOS?

Mmmmm, not sure on that. I had the 5014 working at one time, WebGui showed my 8TB drives, but I guess I should have just ran with Windows Server 2012 and set it up as a file server. I successfully flashed it again, and now I get raid adapter memory error check sdram... 

 

Edit: M5014 successfully flashed to 9260-8i, but UNRaid still shows no disks.

Which progam is returning that?

megacli? megarec? sas2flsh?

 

MegaRec
 

Sure, but the 9260-8i is not an HBA isn't it?

No - but since the M1015 is giving me errors, I have no choice but to use the 5014 and maybe set it up using another OS.

 

BUT;  I just flashed the 5014, let it flash each sector; got to the end where it showed me Success. Shut down the LGA775 machine, installed it back into the x3650 server and got RAID Controller SBR Corrupt or Bad error.........

I'm not sure about the M50xx, are they compatible for cross-flashing?

Edit: My google-fu reveals that those cards are not convertible to a plain HBA!

 

You can overcome the PAL error by using an UEFI boot stick. See Rich's post.

It should be possible to do everything in an UEFI environment - at least for the M1015, which seems easier to flash than the DELL cards.

 

I got my hands on an LGA775 board. The 1015 still gives me No MR Controllers found. the 5014 on the other hand, I was able to find it, and go a clean flash on it. Will post back the result.

 

Edit: Yes, the 5014 is flashable; https://www.servethehome.com/flash-ibm-serveraid-m5014-lsi-92608i-firmware/

Sorry to hear that.  I can tell you that it works on a SuperMicro X7SBE MB and at least one other SuperMicro Desktop C2SBA+II (if I remember model correctly anyway).

 

Yes, I bought an IBM x3650 M1 for extremely cheap, and got these HBA's to make a NAS using UNRaid; but no disks were showing up. If I created an array, UNraid could see the whole array, but only as 1 disk. So now I am trying to flash 1 of these controller's I got; very close to building a unit.

Got any older board then that?

 

I flash my controllers on an Intel 775 based MB and have no such errors.

1 of the Servers was a Dell that ran Windows Server 2003. I think it's a PowerEdge 2300?? No luck there either.

I've got an IBM M5015, M5014, and M1015; all of them are giving me errors. Sometime's they are PAL errors, sometimes they are No LSI adapter errors. I have tried putting them in 4 different Servers, and 3 different custom built PC's. 1 ASROCK z97 Extreme4, 1 ASUS X99-M WS, 1 ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS.

I tried removing all but 1 RAM disk and still get the memory error.

I had a similar error fixed by booting DOS with himem.sys

 

Can you elaborate? I assume, making a DOS USB with rufus, and then where does himem.sys come into play?

Hi guys. I followed Fireball3's guide to and flash my H310 but so far couldn't pass step 2 and 3. I keep getting not enough available extended memory error when I try to save existing SBR. I proceeded to step 3 to clear controller ROM and get the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

I'm also trying to flash an M1015 and am getting this error as well....
