UCS C460 Bios not detect raid

Hi all,
i have 2 ucs c460, 1st ucs i can boot into webios to create raid
the other 1, pressing ctrl+h , still cant boot into webios
when i check bios at boot options, there is no pci raid adapter detected, only cdrom,network card and efi shell
but at cimc the raid card detected.
please help

Hello,
Go to BIOS in the Server tab, then Advanced and then scroll down to the Option ROM (OPROM) settings and disable the Option ROM for all cards except for the RAID controller (if you will boot from local disks)
Note: the OPROM enabled will tell the system to look for a "boot" image through that card, so if you will only boot from local disks (does not matter if you want to have remote data stores, this will not affect your connection to remote storage) disable all OPROM options for all the cards except for the RAID controller.
HTH,

865pe Neo2 BIOS not detected

I have just finished installing the 865pe neo2 and p4 3.0Ghz. When I boot up I get a message that BIOS is not detected. It will nevertheless boot seemingly properly into linux but booting into windows is a bit of a dissaster. I have run the live update from windows and it flashed my BIOS which failed when I rebooted and I had to use the rescue disk that I made b4 I flashed but I still get the message that no BIOS has been found and something about Dram timing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Adam

The huge problem is that you CANNOT get to the BIOS. It hangs before you can get there. LOL.
Well, I tried using the bios recovery to get to version 1.3, but now it won't post at all. The D-Bracket says that it is a memory problem, but the memory was fine before changing bios. I am still working on it...

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?

Elliott

975X Platinum PUE, 7.2 bios not detecting my SATA2 RAID?

Just bought this mobo 3 days ago and had everything working great with XP and all, until I decided to update the BIOS to 7.2 (no specific reason, just wanting the latest!).
Now XP wont boot :(
It goes through post and all, but it doesnt show the SATA RAID settings (ctrl-i) screen anymore. It seems it only detects the harddrives if I put them as IDE drives in BIOS. If I choose RAID as I had before the flash, it wont detect them.
It goes through all the bootchoices until resorting to a network boot.
Should I try flash it back to 7.1?
Pardon my english

OK, after sending a troubleshooting report to MSI (very quick response by the way....minutes actually), they stated that they were having no problems with there tests systems that were running RAID 0 and the 7.2, or any other bios for that matter. They also sent me a 7.33 bios Of course, I flashed the bios and was greeted with the same problem. But, that got me to thinking. So, it tried disabling the Jmicron Controler and it F'N worked!!
In a Nut Shell, These are the BIOS setting I tried and the results:
Jmciron: IDE = No bootable Intel RAID for you.
Jmicron: RAID = No bootable Intel RAID for you.
Jmicron: DISABLED = A very bootable Intel RAID for you!
I guess trial and error is always good. Again, MSI was very fast to reply. I guess I can email this 7.33 if anyone else wants it. I don't have anywhere to post it.

BIOs not detecting ram properly

I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum, with paired 2 x 512 meg of Corsair DRR 400 ram (TWINX1024-3200C2PT), it should be picked up as DDR400 Dual channel, but when the pc boots up its picked up as DDR333 single channel - i am assuming this is wrong!
I have updated the BIOs, the ram is in the right slots for dual channel
I am guessing that i need to set the ram settings to auto in the bios, Corsair state the ram should be run at 200mhz 2.5-3-3-6, but i am not sure which settings in the BIOs the 2.5-3-3-6 refer to, could someone please explain what each number is in the bios settings please! i am hoping this will sort out my system, although it works, it is benchmarking lower than before i upgraded it!!!
i used to get 15000 of 3Dmark2001, now i get 12000, (though it keeps pausing when the demos run, but it doesnt in 3Dmark03 which also gives a low score), i should be getting 23000+
please help!!!

[SOLVED] BIOS not detecting USB Drives after i installed Arch

SOLVED: In BIOS under 'Advanced' disable 'Fast BIOS Mode'.
Original post:
Hi there!
I'm fairly new to the arch (and linux) scene and just setup my Samsung 530U3B with a brand new installation of arch. Everything went fine and the system is running flawlessly. Almost.
I just happend to notice that BIOS is not checking for USB drives anymore, it just somehow skips that part. If enter the boot selection, the bootable USB drive won't show up. Neither does it show up in BIOS setup. I tried to boot with the same USB drive that i used to install arch just yesterday, the live media does not boot - the drive doesn't even blink. The boot priority is set to usb drive first, the boot selection screen (hammering f10 during boot) doesn't give me any other option than to boot from the normal SSD. Also, prior to the arch installation (came with w7 installed) the BIOS screen would stay for about 2seconds and then proceed to boot - this doesn't happen anymore. When i press the power button greeted by the grub bootloader in about 1s.
I tried 2 different usb drives, both with the arch iso (same that i used to install the currently running OS, downloaded yesterday). The drives also show up once my arch is booted (starting to blink just after i hit enter in grub). Also, both drives boot without a problem on my desktop computer.
Anyone got any ideas?
I don't really now what kinda of information would be helpful so i'm just dumping stuff i know:
BIOS: Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Version 04XK
Machine: Samsung 530U3B
SSD: Samsung MZ7PC128HAFU-000
ISO used to install (checksum ok): archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso

Welcome to the forum.
If you just set the USB stick to be first in the boot order, the next option (from the list) takes its place the moment you unplug it. You need to set the BIOS to boot from your equivalent of "Removable Devices" first, "Internal Drives" second and "Optical Drives" third.
The USB stick doesn't show up at all. I set the priority as follows:
1. USB HDD
2. USB FDD
3. USB CD
4. SATA CD
5. SATA HDD
6. NETWORK
I used that same configuration to install arch. USB doesn't seem to initialize at all. Also, if i enter "usb" in the grub commandline, no devices are listed.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I just figured it out. In my BIOS under 'Advanced' the 'Fast BIOS Mode' was enabled, once i disabled it, everything went fine. I don't remember changing that option. Silly me.
Sorry for your time

BIOS not detecting notebook hard drive after setting default BIOS settings.

I had my Ubuntu 14.04 installed in my laptop in a drive named "Notebook hard drive" in addition to a pre-installed Windows 8. Today I set the default BIOS settings in my laptop and when I rebooted it and tried to use Ubuntu by pressing "F9" key and choosing from the BIOS menu I found my "Notbook hard drive" option missing. My Ubuntu drive is still there but I have no way to access it. Is there any way I can get it back to working?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Try disabling secure boot in the BIOS and then restarting the notebook.

Can BIOS update "lose" RAID Drive?

If I flash my BIOS am I going to lose my raid drive/e.g. build it again and install windows?
Any help appreciated.

You will lose the configurations in BIOS but not the RAID.
The RAID will stay the same you will not lose any data. You just have to configure the BIOS (not the RAID one) to recognize the discs as RAID, as you configured them the first time.
Hope that is clear...
Be well....
Thanks for the reply. Do you think it will solve the above described unstable voltage for the CPU. I currently use 1.10 BIOS

Bios RAID Partition Not Detected at Boot

Hello everybody,
I've got a problem that's really a minor annoyance. I have two 1TB hdds set up in RAID-0 and my system (Arch x64) on a separate ssd. When I boot up, the RAID volume is not detected automatically. I have to manually run partprobe, then the partition is detected and I can mount it as expected.
I've been unsuccessful as to finding a solution and was hoping you guys could help. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, and let me know if you need any more information.

Yeah, it's a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard, and I'm using the two Marvell sata ports for the RAID. It's detected and works flawlessly in Windows; the RAID0 volume is formatted NTFS.
And, like I said, when I load up Arch, after I run partprobe as root, I can mount and use the volume just as well as I can in Windows. I'd just like to have it all done automatically.

SATA HDD not detected in Bios K7n2 ILSR

Hi! I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR and I just bought a new hard drive (sATA) but it is not recognized in BIOS. There are no options to enable sATA mode in the bios and I couldn't install WinXP even after loading the driver (by pressing F6 on the setup). The only way for me to install WinXP is by setting up CTRL-F and setting up an array for RAID BUT even after installing WinXP via RAID, the sATA drive is still not detected in BIOS. Is there any way that I can use the sATA drive without having to RAID it? Hope you guys can help me...Thanks!

Promise SATA/RAID controller on this board is a seperate chip, so BIOS has nothing to do with it.
to use a single SATA drive on this board, press Ctrl+F to set up a striped array and add the single drive to it, install Windows onto the drive, making sure you press F6 when prompted to use the Promise driver on the floppy disk

MSI GT70 Secondary Drive/750gb not detected while SSD in Raid !!

Long story short , my system crashed randomly for the first time ever (I left the room came back and the system had crashed) , then I got the raid boot failure message for the first time ever !
It was a perfectly clean system practically unused system.
I got the laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium.. this just before the Win 8 systems came out..
I deleted Raid Volume and then created a Raid Volume..
Installed Windows 8 , all this while Bios set to Raid !
I noticed my 750Gb drive was no longer visible in Windows.. i installed all the drivers i could think of but still my secondary HDD wasn't being detected in device manager..
Intel Rapid Storage Technology detected 699GB in Storage System View , while device manager didnt..
When i set Bios to either ACHI or IDE , Bios then reads the 750GB drive in boot priority list but then Windows fails to boot from my SSD's set to Raid !
When I set bios to RAID it only reads SSD , not the 750GB drive..
So basically when I set my Bios to raid my secondary 750gb drive disappears from the boot priority list + from Windows !
When I set to achi/IDE my raid disappears.
I want to keep my raid and have my 750gb drive !
How i dont know...
If i disable raid , only a single SSD drive is detected that leaves me with half the space.. so i cant even make do without Raid because ill lose half that space..
Another thing worth noting is that my Bios boot screen/time has increased noticeably compared to how things were originally. feeling sluggish !
Sorry for putting things in such a messy way..
Thanks for your input and help in advace !!!

thanks for updating me on that..
But to my luck , i had nearly been using the system for 2 days now..
Installed everything , played a few movies etc..
Then my system froze..
I had to force shut it down..
Now im getting the Raid boot failure status all over again..
So i went and reconnected the SSD's but the problems still the same..
I cant go delete my entire raid because what if this happens again..
I'm stuck in this non sense of a loop.. most disappointed , i spent so much money on this machine and i haven't once enjoyed it like i was supposed to..
Is it the raid card , is it the ssd , is it the raid software or is it something else.. :(
Why is my system doing this.. beyond disappointed all my efforts have gone to waste..

Hard disk not detected by bios

Hi, I have a CQ50-107NR and when press the power button the hard drive light indicator is flashing, but the bios or windows does not detect the hard disk, I have tried several hard disk that work in my other computers, I have been reparing pcs for more than 15 years and am very stumped by this problem. In my experience if the hard drive indicator is blinking that indicates that the laptop has detected it. But for this one not to detect it is confussing. I am repaing the laptop for someone, had to fix a problem with it over heating. If anyone has any ideas on this or had a similar problem please let me know.

It is not that uncommon on that series of laptops with AMD processor and nVidia GeForce graphics. The laptop is a close cousin of the dv6000 series which had a lot of issues back in the 2008 time frame. The chips on the motherboard will not keep a complete connection due to manufacturing flaws and it shows up as disappearing peripherals or dead video. Wireless cards, hard drives, optical drives all can stop working. The only fix is a motherboard repair or replacement.

Sata HDD not detected in BIOS in K8MM-v

Hi!!
I have an AMD (athalon 3000+) plateform K8MM-v(vial K8M800-CE+VT8237R chipset) having two problems
1. NIC doesn't work properly, I inferrred it because the same setting of TCP/IP are working for other system but not for me. Windows always shows Restricted or limited access at nic status.
2. SATA HDD is not Detected in BIOS.
System is running with XP Prof. having ram 512MB.

Loading SATA drivers will not make the drive appear in the BIOS
Without knowing what hard disk he has, I can only speculate it is a SATA-II 3gb/s drive, which rarely work with the VIA VT8237/R chipset. You can try jumpering the drive to SATA-I 1.5gb/s mode, but there's still no guarantee it will work.
