RAID Option ROM utility unavailable.

The thing is that I cannot access the RAID Option ROM utility during bootup, just because I don't the see the "Press <Ctrl-F> to enter RAID Option ROM utility..." option at all.
I've recently updated the BIOS to 2.0 to install Windows 8. Don't know if that has something to do. As I said, I don't see the "Press <Ctrl-F> to enter RAID Option ROM utility" option at all. The RAID 0 I installed Windows 8 on was setup before updating BIOS to 2.0. As per MSI statement, once the BIOS was updated to 2.0 it cannot be downgraded.
What I want to do is to add a 3rd. disk to my RAID 0 array to expand the capacity. I tried to do it under RAIDXpert utility under Windows, but I don't see any options to add a new device to the existing RAID 0.
Do any of you know if there's another key secuense (but Ctrl + F as the user guide states) to enter the RAID Option ROM utility during bootup?. Any help will really be apreciaed. Thank you very much!.
My sys. specs are:
Mainboard: MSI A75MA-G55 with 2.0 BIOS
Processor: AMD APU A6-3670
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHz
HDD: 3 x 320 GB each:
1 x WDC WD3200AAJS-00YZCA0 (Western Digital)
1 x MAXTOR STM3320613AS (Maxtor)
1 x Seagate ST3320413AS (Seagate)
RAID 0 (JBOD) composed by the Western Digital + the Maxtor. The Seagate is the one I want to add to the RAID 0

try >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed, if no change, it appear to be bios bug, if the same worked fine with older version.
ask msi at >>How to contact MSI.<<

Intel raid controller ROM in MSI 875 updated yet?

Intel recently enabled the raid 1 option for the raid controller in their ICH5R chipset.
On the Intel website under the "Important information on Intel RAID Option ROM version" section Intel write the following:
Quote
In order to fully utilize the new features included in version 3.5 of the Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition, Intel recommends that you first upgrade your system BIOS to one that includes version 3.5 of the Intel RAID Option ROM. You can obtain this system BIOS from your motherboard or system manufacturer.
The latest bios for my 875P Neo-FIS2R MS-6758 was released 2003-6-26 so I find it hard to believe that the 3.5 raid ROM is included since the software was (officially) released on 7-7-2003.
Furthermore I still have no raid 1 option when configuring my intel raid controller - only performance arrays can be set up.
When will MSI release a new bios with the latest Intel raid controller ROM?
Best regards
Andreas

I also humbly await the arrival of the (875P)6758 1.7 Bios update to enable RAID1......Any ideas on when we might get it?...any one?........eeerrrr...how about an ftp site address for a beta bios? anyone?..speak up I can't hear you back there........
Thanks

P67A-GD55 Rev B3, When a new bios including Intel Raid Oprtion Rom 10.6.0.1091

P67A-GD55 Rev B3, When a new bios including Intel Raid Oprtion Rom 10.6.0.1091 ?
Hello,
I am the owner of a MSI motherboard P67A-GD55 (Rev B3).
The operating system Windows 7 Pro 64 bit is installed on a disk in AHCI OCZ Vertex 3120 Go SATA0 mounted on the port (version 3).
I get many bugs and blue screens.
This would be resolved with the latest driver Intel Rapid Storage Technology 10.6.0.1022.
It must been associated with a bios with the Intel RAID Option ROM 10.6.0.1091.
The latest bios for my motherboard is 1.E (or 1.14) version which includes Intel RAID Option ROM 10.5.0.1034.
Are there plans to release a new bios with the new ROM?
If not, is there a way to include the last Intel Option Rom in the bios 1.E?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
SM

UCS C240 M3 LFF - Not detecting RAID controller/option ROMs at all?

I've just lodged a service request for this, but as I don't have a service contract I'm not sure how much support I will get from Cisco vs them just replacing the whole unit..
In any case, It's a LFF C240 M3, dual CPU. It was purchased with an LSI2008 SAS Mez card.
- Mezz card was installed, and all the drives are lighting up, however I am getting no option ROM to boot/see the drives at all. BIOS shows "PCI-E: M" (I'm assuming this is the mezzanine card) as not populated, however I have the option rom set to enabled for this slot. I have no SCU setting, and no software RAID jumper is installed or being used. I have connected the correct SAS cables from the mezz card to the SAS expander.
- As well as this, I have two PCI-E SSD's that also have option ROMs - these are detected by OS's, however the option roms are not booting despite them being set in BIOS to load.
- I also have a 10GBE NIC that IS loading its boot rom. Strangely, if I disable the boot rom for the 10GBe NIC, and Enable the boot rom for the PCI-E SSDs, the 10GBE boot rom still loads (If I disable the PCI-E SSD boot roms, the 10GBe boot rom stops loading)
There are possibly 2 issues here - One is that the mainboard/mezz card/both are DoA. The other is that the BIOS is buggy, as enabling and disabling PCI-E slot option roms do not seem to correlate with the correct slots/boot at all.
Any input would be appreciated before I DoA the lot

Hi Zaira,
The PCIe SSD is a PCI IDE/AHCI controller that has an SSD connected to it.
Further research shows that in AHCI mode, the UCS server will boot the option ROM. The PID is
VEN: 1B21 DEV: 0612 [0106] SATA Controller [PI 01]
We need to run it in IDE mode however to boot off it. In IDE mode the option ROM does not boot. The PID in IDE mode is:
VEN: 1B21 DEV: 0611 [0101] IDE Controller [PI 85]
Both ROMS boot fine in all other servers I have tried (SuperMicro, HP and Intel) so I can only assume the UCS is somehow selectively ignoring this boot rom by the PID?
Is there anything I can do here?
Regards,
Elliott

MSI G45M-FD mobo - no "Intel option ROM" (Ctrl-I) available

I recently bought the MSI G45M-FD motherboard from amazon.com. It has Intel ICH10R controller, BIOS version is V1.1. I used 1 PATA drive for system and 4 SATA seagate 1.5TB HDDs, RAID mode = AHCI in BIOS.
I installed Windows XP SP1 and the latest Intel® Matrix Storage Manager (iata87enu.exe). After installing Matrix Storage Manager, Windows Xp can see SATA drives.
I would like to configure the ICH10R controller into RAID5 array. Unfortunately, there is no Ctrl-I message during BIOS loading, and the "Intel option ROM" can not be launched >:(.
My user guide says that I have to enable the RAID function in BIOS but actually there is no way to disable or enable the RAID mode in BIOS. I can see only two options for RAID:
1. SATA controller (enabled|disabled)=enabled
2. RAID mode (IDE|AHCI)=AHCI
Does anybody have have the same motherboard? Do you see Ctrl-I invitation? Do you know how to turn "Intel option ROM" on?
Update: Problem solved: I just ordered wrong mobo model. global.msi.com.tw has confusing information about G45M.

Quote from: nightmare99 on 25-January-09, 15:59:59
What makes you think this board has ICH10R? Surely there would be a -FDR if it had ICH10R?
Your board does not have RAID sorry.
I just realized it. What a big mistake!

Z420 bios error 110 out of memory space for option roms

Hi,
I want to attach a SCSI RAID drive to the PC to copy the contents off onto a new drive, but when I do I receive this message:
10—Out of memory space for option ROMs Option ROM for a device could not run because of memory constraints.
I know that under the Setup Menu/Advanced/Power On Options you are supposed to set the ACPI/USB Buffers @ Top of Memory setting to Enable, but unfortunately my version of BIOS doesn't contain this option.
Can anyone tell me what I can turn off in my system to allow it to operate with the ATTO card?
I also have a NVIDIA K4000 card installed and an AJA Io Express PCI card installed. These both work fine without the ATTO card inserted into the machine.
Thanks in advance!

How can I go back to a previous boot ROM version?

Hi. I've been reading these forums for a long time...first time posting.
The short story: I have a Macbook 5,2 running OS X 10.5 with boot ROM MB52.0088.B06, and I'd like to know how to flash the boot ROM version back to MB52.0088.B05.
The long story:
I have a MacBook 5,2. It came with OS X 10.5. As far as I know, the latest boot ROM for 10.5 on a Macbook 5,2 is MB52.0088.B05 (EFI 1.4) (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237).
A while ago, a friend convinced me to update to 10.6. Apparently, with the 10.6 install, it updated the boot ROM version to MB52.0088.B06. Now, I'm concerned that there is a firmware issue (which I might be wrong about, and the reason I think there is a firmware problem is very convoluted but I'll explain if you want). So I decided I wanted to go back to MB52.0088.B05. I had been thinking about going back to OS X 10.5 anyway. So, I backed up my system using Time Machine to a Time Capsule via ethernet. Then I did an Erase and Install with the original 10.5 install disc that came with my Macbook. Then, I used Migration Assistant to restore most of my system from the backup. I should have taken a look at the boot ROM version before I ran Migration Assistant...but I didnt.
The boot ROM version still says MB52.0088.B06.
I tried downloading the MB52.0088.B05 update and running it anyway, and it says my computer doesn't need the update. When I was still running 10.6, I did try the method described here: http://pubmem.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/flash-efi-firmware-update-manually-on-a-m acbook-51/ (which has apparently worked for someone else on a 5,2; see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3747472?start=0&tstart=0), and it didn't work. I don't know if it's a good idea to try it again now.
So:
Why didn't my boot ROM go back to MB52.0088.B05 after a clean 10.5 install?
Did Migration Assistant import the previous boot ROM somehow?
Should I do another clean install without MA?
Should I try PubMem's manual method again?
Is there another way I can flack back the firmware?
Thanks a ton!
P.S. I'm posting this in the Time Capsule community as well, since it might be an MA issue. Don't get mad, I'm new. If that's against the rules, I'll take it down.

At least you have made some progress. My inkling is the optical drive is dead.
I think you're right.
To run the AHT you would need the AHT disc that came with the computer, but it's unlikely you have it for that old iBook G4.
I do have it, in fact! But it's not working. Here's the situation, copied from a conversation with Kenichi Watanabe over in iMacs...
I haven't been able to run the Apple Hardware Test. I have the AHT CD that came with the computer (v1.2), and I also downloaded v1.2.6 here and burned that to a CD. In both cases, when I load the CD into the external optical drive which is connected via a firewire cable (exactly what I used for the install disc), restart, and press and hold C, the computer ignores the CD completely and boots from the HD. Any idea how to fix this? Or, is there another function I can use to achieve the same thing, maybe in single user mode?
Regarding the Apple Hardware Test CD, holding down the C key will attempt to boot from the internal optical drive. Since there is nothing in there, it boots from the internal hard drive. I would try starting up with the Option key held down. That should get you to the Startup Manager screen. If that CD is in the external FireWire drive, it should be listed as a startup disk choice. Select it and see if it will start up from it.
Right, that makes sense. Unfortunately, in both cases, when I select the CD to start up from, the screen blinks for a second and then returns to the screen where I am supposed to choose a startup disc. It does this as many times as I try to choose the CD, until I select the HD and start up from there.
When I put either CD in the drive, with the computer on and booted from the HD, the CD mounts, and Disk Utility says it's verified. But when I try to select it as a startup disc from system preferences, it doesn't show up. Ideas??
Update: I tried Hoja's reccommendation from this thread using Open Firmware, but in response to
boot cd:\diags
It says:
can't OPEN: cd:\diags
for both CDs.

BOOT ROM VERSION ISSUES WITH MINI MAC POWERPC G4 (1.2)

HI,
I AM HAVING SOME BOOT PROBLEMS ON REBUILDING MY MAC MINI. WHENEVER I PUT IN A BRAND NEW COPY OF EITHER PANTHER OR TIGER THE BOOT SCREEN WITH THE APPLE LOGO CRASHES AND FUNNY GRAPHICS APPEARS, RESULTING IN A FORCED REBOOT AND USING F12 TO EJECT THE CD. THE MAC MINI IS FINE BOOTING OFF OF ITS OWN MANUFACTURE CD, WHICH IS A COPY OF PANTHER, BUT WON'T UPGRADE WITH ANY TIGER DISKS. I HAVE EVEN MANAGED TO CHANGE THE DISKS WITH SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WAS SUCCESSFUL IN UPGRADING TO TIGER.
I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY MENTIONED THAT I SHOULD CHANGE/UPDATE MY BOOT ROM VERSION FROM 4.8.9F1 TO 4.9.8F4.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THIS BOOT ROM UPDATE? I HAVE LOOKED ON APPLE DOWNLOADS, BUT NOTHING APPEARS TO HELP. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS APPREACIATED.
MANY THANKS
SUPERHEROTIMO

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
First, a word of etiquette, writing your post in ALL CAPS is considered the same thing as yelling. Please don't use ALL CAPS when writing your messages.
Exactly which Mac mini do you have? Is it a G4 Mac mini running at 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5GHz? (If it came with Panther install disks, it couldn't be an Intel Mac mini.) Which version of Mac OS X came with your Mac mini? Some of the earlier Mac minis shipped with Mac OS X 10.3.7 and will not startup from any earlier version (most of the retail copies of Panther are 10.3.0 or 10.3.4). If it's a Mac mini that shipped later, it would have come with Mac OS X 10.4.2 and, again, won't startup from any earlier version (most retail copies of Tiger were 10.4.0 but now have 10.4.4). Trying to startup from a disk that's the wrong version will usually cause a "kernel panic" and force you to restart.
So, if your Mac mini shipped with Mac OS X 10.3.7, you should be able to use any retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) to update your computer. However, you won't be able to update to 10.4 from the install disk that came with another Mac. You will need to buy a retail copy of your own.
There are no firmware updates available to download to upgrade the "Boot ROM" on your G4 Mac mini, so that option is really not available.

Using MDB to dump option rom

Hi,
I'm having a problem with an LSI raid card. On a cold start it's always fine. On a soft reboot, after 7+ days of uptime, about 30% of the time it fails to initialize in bios and my system hangs w/ no boot device. I have a bunch of identical systems deployed.
I was trying to use mdb to dump the option rom space, to see if it's getting corrupted somehow. At least then I could predict a failure. In DOS, I can use debug.exe and "d c800:0000" to dump that memory space, but I have not been successful doing this under solaris.
Any help?

915P Combo No Raid option please help

Hi everyone,
Recently I bought MSI 915P combo FR and 2 S-ATA HD and 1 ATA HD.
I want to use the two S-ATA HD as Raid but BIOS does not let me select the raid option under IDE/S-ATA configuration. I have tried to clear CMOS and use different BIOS version and checked all connection but nothing helps.
Any help, advice and suggestion is very welcomed
Thanks in advance

Hi Darkslayer,
It is written at least on the pack that it does support both SATA and IDE RAID and the chip is ICH6 and ICH6R ready.
I have follow the instruct mentioned but I do not see the RAID option anymore since updating the BIOS
BTW, maybe u should call up ur local MSI distributor and ask the what the ICH6R ready mean. I wish to know as well

No RAID option in Thinkpad W520 BIOS

There is no RAID option in my Thinkpad W520 BIOS
I only get the "ACHI" and "Compatibility" mode.
I intended to put two SSDs in RAID 0 and did not want to buy 2 mechanical HDDs.
It appears that you only get the "RAID" controller when you order the W520 with 2 mechanical HDDs and let Lenovo configure the RAID for you .
I may have to send my unit back. I am VERY disappointed that this was not made clear at the Point of Sale.
My UEFI BIOS Version 1.06 - BIOS Date 2011-03-02

Samsung Series 9 15-inch NP900X4C-A03US - PCMark7: 4674

I think the language has been changed. It now says; Internal RAID: not enabled or Internal RAID: configured by Lenovo.
When I ordered it said something more like Internal RAID: user configured or Internal RAID: preconfigured by Lenovo.
I do forget the exact wording, but the old wording pretty clearly indicated you had it but it was just not yet configured.
My actual order however says: Internal RAID not configured.

MSI X58 Platinum SLI how get beyond Intel Matrix Storage v 8.5.0.1030 Option Rom

I would like to know if I can get beyond Intel Matrix Storage v 8.5.0.1030 Option Rom
I am also running a X58 Platinum SLI Bios v3.90

The Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM is pretty much a more or less independent BIOS Module. It would be MSI's job (the job of MSI's BIOS Engineers) to provide an official BIOS Version that includes an updated version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM Module.
Alternatively, it is possible to exchange that particular module via a relatively simple BIOS Modification (given, that one has a copy of v8.5.0.1013).
Follow NovJoe's suggestion to contact MSI first. If they (for some reason) have second thoughts regarding an Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM Update, we could consider the option of modding a BIOS for you.
