Sorry haven't been on here for a while but i"ll try and help you get this sorted.

Yes. The supermicro only boots in ide mode. When in ahci mode with .21 it uses too much option rom so freezes. Ide allows it to boot through so it can then boot the usb.

So i just need to switch back to IDE instead of AHCI and should be all ok?? Can i just get in the bios and switch back to IDE instead of AHCI?  or do i need to take some extra steps??

Whats the diference etween this 2 options?  Should i expect less write or read speed?

joshpond:
Ide is generally worse than ahci. The super micro won't boot.21 in ahci. So you need to set the bios to ide so that it will boot to the usb with the .15 firmware. Flash to the .15 firmware and them with that firmware you can reset the bios to ahci.

You can leave it on .21 with ide and it should boot but I think it will be slower and you will lose smart reports.

Ok, i set up the bios to IDE, boot with the card on and flashed to .15n.

Then reboot and switch the bios back to AHCI.

Seems to be working fine on the 4x slot, if i put the card on the 16x slot i get stuck at the black scree & blinking cursor.

So 4x slot is it?  Would make any diference if i have the card on the 16x since the card is 4x interface?

Did you make it work on the 16x slot?

Ill preclear some disk now and see how that goes for speed and SMART report.

Ill report back when im finished with that
