Hi All!
Long time lurker first time poster and all... Thanks for all the help this forum brought me!
So I've flashed an IBM H1110 to LSI 9211-4i IT mode and I have the issue that the server won't get to the BIOS menu (or boot) when there's more than 1 disk connected to the card.
I did boot with a single drive, I'm able to add more drives after the boot is done but I can't reboot without removing the drives.
what I tried:
- switch from my main server (X3250 M4) to a backup one (Dell R200) and same issue happened
- reflashed without the boot rom. It went to the bios even with all the disks connected but I can't boot from them.
- reflashed with files taken from somewhere else just in case and same issue as before. This kind of confirmed that the boot rom was the issue.
At this point if I can't find the issue I'll probably install my hypervisor to a SSD directly connected to the motherboard and remove the boot rom from the card.
Any Idea?
******Update********
-I've reflashed using P19 instead of P20. Same issue. If I try to enter the card boot rom it goes through the system config and then crash before I can do anything.
