bossmaster Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I recently got my hands on 2 SAS3041 Cards, they're both PCIe Gen 2 cards that only support<2tb drives and 4 SATA/sas drives per card. The chips are LSI1064E B1 and LSI1064 BE (flashed to 6.34 bios and IT mode) my issue is that the B1 chip will not detect /boot in any PCIE gen 3.0 machine but the B3 chip works fine. Has anyone Else experienced something similar? (There was a old thread about a DELL card that uses the same B1 chip where covering B5 andB6 pins solved the issue but it's not working for me. Edited March 6, 2021 by bossmaster misspelled B3 AS BE Quote Link to comment

ICDeadPpl Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have a IBM ServeRAID M1015 flashed with LSI firmware in IT mode, but it doesn't get detected on my motherboard (MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon) with a Core i7 7700K CPU. I have tried every pcie slot on the motherboard, but with no success. I tried with putting the card in my desktop PC (an AMD Ryzen 5900X system) and it works all right there. Is there anything I can do to get it working on the Intel system, or do I have to buy some other motherboard/CPU combo? 'lspci' gives this output, so the card is not detected at all: Spoiler 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 05) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04) 00:08.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 / E3-1500 v5 / 6th/7th/8th Gen Core Processor Gaussian Mixture Model 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series/Z370 Chipset Family USB 3.0 xHCI Controller 00:14.2 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH Thermal Subsystem 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH CSME HECI #1 00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH SATA controller [AHCI mode] 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev f0) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #5 (rev f0) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #8 (rev f0) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH LPC Controller (Z270) 00:1f.2 Memory controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series/Z370 Chipset Family Power Management Controller 00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation 200 Series/Z370 Chipset Family SMBus Controller 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V 02:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc.

I had to do this with my Dell H310. Although this is very common with the H310, the IBM M1015 is essentially the same card and, in some cases, tape is needed on them as well. See this post for more details. Edited March 9, 2021 by Hoopster Quote Link to comment
folic86 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Ok, so I got as far as deleting the BIOS from my M1015, but got a PAL error. Can anyone advise a board that won't do that so I can unkill my card? LOL Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Should be fine, as long as you are at a point that you can reboot. Quote Link to comment

I have booted to efi shell via a usbkey with the EDK2 binary but now im lost. How do i execute sas2flash.exe from EFI shell, is that even possible? i can navigate folders fine and see the files but dont know how to proceed Hope you or someone can help me i never used EFI shell before Quote Link to comment

uldise Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 huh, i just cross-flashed my Dell H200 to LSI latest firmware on my Supermicro X8 server board - card is working as expected - connected HDD to test and it shows up as expected. then i moved this card to my desktop board - older Asus H97-Plus, and card is not visible at all - heartbeat Led not blinking, bios show no card in this slot. i tried both x16 slots to no avail. i have tried another desktop board - asrock fatal1ty z77 professional-m, and result is the same. i tried this duct tape mod to cover pins 5 and 6 with electric tape - didn't help either.. so i'm stuck with that, any suggestion welcome Thanks Quote Link to comment
