Thanks, I just installed megacli quickly for a test to see if it was the adapter. If finally got it flashed to IT mode, by using this http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm to create my USB DOS stick. I was trying to use FreeDOS before and it was not working. After, I switched away from FreeDOS, KKM's directions worked fine. Here's my new LSI card in Debian now root@fileserver:~# lspci | grep LSI 01:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) Ford Perfect, I appreciate the directions to properly install megacli. I'll be setting that up tonight.

Good questions Windows and Debian are both 32 bit. I didn't try running the tools in Windows as Admin, I'll try that tonight. Under Debian, I grabbed the linux stand alone binary from LSI for all the versions. It will run without installation in linux. Megacli can be installed from this repository. http://hwraid.le-vert.net/ubuntu I could install the rpms, via alien, but my experience with LSI raid controller in the past has found installing via alien to be tricky, so the repo makes it easier on me. It is an older version, but it still should at least see the card, I would think. MegaCLI SAS RAID Management Tool Ver 5.00.12 May 08, 2009

First post, and I really hope someone can help me out. After reading kkm's post, and other's replies of the ability to flash the IBM ServeRAID M1015, I picked one up new from Ebay. I connected the card to my Windows box, and installed the LSI 9240-8i driver, and can see my card in Windows, and any drives connected to it. When I try to flash it though, Megacli or sas2flash both report that No LSI SAS adapters can be found? So, I pulled the card out and put it in my Debian box, and it shows up in lspci. root@fileserver:~/SAS2FLASH# lspci | grep LSI 01:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 9240 (rev 03) But, when I try to use sas2flash just to list available cards, I get similar behavior to Windows (I've tried sas2flash phase 5,9, and 10, they all produce similar results). root@fileserver:~/SAS2FLASH# ./sas2flash -list LSI Corporation SAS2 Flash Utility Version 10.00.00.00 (2011.05.13) Copyright (c) 2008-2011 LSI Corporation. All rights reserved No LSI SAS adapters found! Limited Command Set Available! ERROR: Command Not allowed without an adapter! ERROR: Couldn't Create Command -list Exiting Program. or with Megacli root@fileserver:~# megacli -AdpAllInfo -aAll Exit Code: 0x00 Since, this is a new card, is there anything I need to do to make this work. Both OS's have the card installed, and working, but the LSI tools can't seem to see the card. Thank you for any help you can provide.
