I bought two M1505 cards on ebay. In particular (LSI SAS9220-8i). I read all the instructions on how to flash the cards. The first mistake I made was insert the pci express card in a regular pci slot. I could smell something burning and my motherboard would not boot. I thought the card was dead. However when I put it in a regular pci-express the lsi boot menu and configuration comes up. I then tried to run megarec (according to instructions on how to convert the card to IT mode with no boot optoin), but after each command the motherboard just reboots.
So the flashing is not working? Are the cards dead? What cards can I buy where the flashing will work for sure or even better, can I buy the cards which are already flashed.
