SOLVED - Re: Intel 6300ESB SATA - Now Tyan B5350G20S2H-LC

[Alain Hebert]

    Well,

    I'll spare you the journey...

Summary:

    The shipping ROM for the M8110 (named 1234) has protected mode 
instructions (as documented by John) which halted BTX / Boot / Loader.

    There is a ROM from Tyan (1235-M1.ROM) but didnt not come with its 
flash update program and was not to be found on tyan site, nor 
techsupport gave any clue about it.  (2 days now and nothing much more 
than automated emails)

    So I finally found it while digging in the shipping CD (Under 
Adaptec/8100/Utilities/M8110...rar) it was called mv.exe (for Marvell BTW).

    Now everything is perfect.


Still to be fixed:

    6.1-RC cant seem to read the Metadata of the other RAID controller 
(Intel 6300ESB SATA150) but this server is going in production fast, so 
I might not be able to get a fix for it.
