I have a x9da7 which I have been running for 7 years (18 months since last reboot). I decided to move it from 2012R2 to ws2019. It has been a challenging day. Since I was moving to 2019, I decided to upgrade the bios to current just to to avoid spectre, .... even though the system is double nat firewalled (I know, if it ain't broke....).
That was mistake number one - after boot to current bios the system hung at the "stupid micro" screen with a b2 error. Wasted an hour on that stupid error, it is there because I am using a usb keyboard and mouse and the ps/2 keyboard/mouse has nothing plugged into it.
F11 was my friend and it got me to reboot to the flash key which meant I reflashed the bios in case I boofed the first time. Reboot, no joy in mudville. That said, I was now at the blinking upper left hand cursor which I remembered from decades of no boot media.
So, getting desperate, I remove all the drives from the patsburg sata raid. Suddenly, I can get into bios.
<insert here multiple weird sometimes it boots to SCU drives, some times twilight zone>
Extremely long story short, as long as I completely avoid the Intel RST on the PCH06, the system is stable and I can run windows 2019.
Is anyone running the x9Da7 with windows server 2019, and if so, how did you get support for the the 602pch?
