malaki86 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm trying to install an LSI 9211-8i in my system, but I'm not seeing it whatsoever during bootup. None of the lights on the card turn on at all. I made a FreeDOS drive and when I ran the sas2flsh -listall command line, I get a "PAL not initialized" error (or very similar to that wording). I attempted to create a sas2flash efi thumb drive, but it does absolutely nothing - it literally boots direct into the BIOS. I can't find anything in the BIOS itself that shows what's plugged into the motherboard, which is only the 9211, btw. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 You can post the diags to confirm if it's being detected by Linux or not. Quote Link to comment
Doki391 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I had the same thing.. had to do with that i had the UEFI version of the flasher. Follow the guide where it says UEFI Motherboards https://techmattr.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/updated-sas-hba-crossflashing-or-flashing-to-it-mode-dell-perc-h200-and-h310/ Quote Link to comment
