March 18, 20215 yr When in dos and flashing i get "Warning! IO Base address high. Currently not supported." I was getting that originally aswell but each section finished with "success" Is that okay?
March 18, 20215 yr And that was the last time it was seen alive. 20 minutes trying to get the pc to boot and i get this Oh wait... It's still detected in dos. Wtf. Edited March 18, 20215 yr by mdrodge
March 18, 20215 yr Then dos started to hang on 2.bat or 4-11.bat. I guess it died. This makes no sense.
March 18, 20215 yr Have you got the card in the right PCI slot? Usually needs to be the one closest to the CPU
March 19, 20215 yr Thank you for the guide. The flashing process went buttery smooth on an a21 model.
September 28, 20214 yr Hi! After successfully flashing the A21 controller, I get a message ("mpt2sas_cm0 overriding nvdata eedptagmode setting") when debian 10 is loading. My mdadm raid-1 does not work with this. What can be done? Edited September 28, 20214 yr by kerby

November 3, 20223 yr Hi (literally created an account to ask about this) I followed all the instructions and managed to get as far as completing the EFI stage but once I completed that and rebooted to switch back to BIOS to complete the process it has just been hanging on the blinking underscore screen and not doing much if anything, on either of the D2607s I ran through (they're 21s and I used the 21 version, and second time through I wiped it twice before running the rest. No difference). What's gone wrong here? I can't imagine it's hardware related when both those devices aren't booting Thanks Edited November 3, 20223 yr by C30nn4

Thanks for that!The only problem I have - after flashing the controller only 1, the top, port works. I have flashed two controllers (A21), both the same. I can switch the cables, allways only the top port is recognizing disks. Unforunally I did not test both boards in IR Mode before.I bought the same controller already flashed, here both ports are working fine. Someone may have the same issue and a solution for that? Thank you
March 26Mar 26 I do have the same issue that only the top port works and this is not a cable issue tested with several cables.Any solution here ?
