TSM Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I've got the exact same board. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1557.0 Only trouble I had with it, was figuring out the settings to get it to boot from the USB. That turned out to be pretty much just trial and error. What other problems did you have? Quote Link to comment
raevin Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Being a freaking tard, that was my problem. I sat there and tried every conceivable bios setting and nothing worked. Although the error message did change so I felt like I was making some progress. I moved the flash drive into every slot(Or so I thought. ) and I also would unplug the usb keyboard when I was done tweaking the bios thinking maybe it was causing a conflict. Finally I took a break after about 2+ hours of frustration and when I came back I noticed two other usb ports next to the Ethernet Port. Plugged in the flash drive booted up beautifully! My only defense is that the mobo was open box and didn't come with an I/O shield pannel and the two usb ports next to the ethernet didn't look the same as the others. I will take some picts of my bios settings, I don't remember them because I tweaked them so much I don't remember what was there when I finally put it in the right slot. Lol, if I didn't laugh I'd cry... Quote Link to comment
