I accidentally flashed the wrong FW file into my Dell H810.

I can't disable that slot or boot the EFI Shell because the card won't finish booting.

Anybody in the US that can fix the card?

If so, I'll send it to you and include a paid return mailer.

The card is modified to boot in most any PC motherboard, not just dell.

I can also email you the FW

OK, I've managed to get MB bios to skip loading option rom and boot into an efi shell.

megacli.efi does not see the controller.

efi shell see's the controller on pci bus 3.

Anybody know how to flash a sas2208 controller by using a pci address so the cli will see and flash the card?

Do you mind to post a bit more details ?
I have a bricked LSi 9261 I’m trying to redirect and megaflop just hangs in DOS

:D

Restored !!

Instead of booting to EFI Shell I booted to bios DOS USB after setting MB bios to load UEFI option rom only (this passed over the controller oprom which is legacy).

In dos I used megacli -adpm0flash to reflash the card and VIOLA!
