I am trying to flash a SAS9211-8i card and in DOS using sas2flsh and I get the following error : "ERROR: Failed to initialize PAL. Exiting program"
After reading this documentation and other forum threads, I understood that I need an older motherboard or at least one that supports BIOS32 service directory feature. Otherwise, I have to try booting into the sas2flsh.efi file which I tried but without success. I see the efi boot entry on the motherboard but when I boot to it, nothing happens and it just takes me back to the boot menu.
Has anyone had more success with this? How do I know if a motherboard supports BIOS32 service directory feature?
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
