Glad to see the site up again
While waiting the site to come up I posted here, not much help, hope somebody here can be of more help:
Supermicro X10SLM+-F and Adaptec 7805Q fail - [H]ard|Forum
The problem is as follows:
Using Supermicro X10SLM+-F and Adaptec 7805Q.
On cold boot, the Adaptec controller BIOS waits for the controller to come online.
This fails, and the Adaptec controller reports “"Controller monitor disabled or failed to start", "Controller not started", "Press any key to continue".
Using exactly the same board, CPU, and memory the Adaptec 81605ZQ works fine, but I need to get the 7805Q working.
I upgraded the X10SLM+-F BIOS firmware and IPMI and to latest, and it made no difference.
I moved the 7805Q to a differnet machine and updated the firmware, no difference.
I tried the PCIe v3 and the PCIe v2 slots, same problem.
I disabled ASPM, PCI logging, enable PCI compliance, no difference.
I cleared the CMOS and used hte PCIe v2 slot, no difference.
I also tested the following combinations:
Adaptec 7805Q + Supermicro X9SCM-F works fine.
Adaptec 81605ZQ + Supermicro X10SLM+-F works fine.
Adaptec 7805Q + Supermicro X10SLM+-F fail.
Adaptec 7805Q + Supermicro X10SLH-F fail.
In a working system the 7805Q boots and the red lights go into "knight rider" mode, on the X10 systems all the red LED's are on permanently.
I opened support cases with Adaptec and Supermicro.
Supermicro had me try a couple settings and CMOS reset, then requested I open an engineering case, no ETA on when it will be heard.
Adaptec said the Supermicro X10SLM-F is on the hardware compatibility list for the 7805Q using BIOS v1.1a, they cannot confirm operation with other boards or BIOS versions.
Any ideas?
