[DSM 6.1.x Loader]

I was wondering if anyone had luck with LSI 9211 8i? I can't make it work on the bearmetal install. The motherboard i'm using is https://www.supermicro.com/products/mot ... 0SLH-F.cfm and in order to get Intel i210 nic's to work I had reverse to loading of ramdisk.lzma in grub.cfg, but can't get the 9211 to work, no hard disk detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been able to install baremetal with an IBM M1015 crossflashed to LSI 9211 8i (IT-Mode) without any issues. Mainboard ASRock J3455M.

 

Yes, same think, and works fine:

IBM MegaRaid M1015 crossflashed to LSI 9211 8i (IT-Mode) with last HBA_9211_8i_IT firmware (Revision: 20.00.07.00-IT).

Mainboard ASUS E35M1 - AMD E350 integrated CPU

 

That board has Realtek RTL8111E nic did you have to edit grub.cfg for it to work? What ramdisk.lzma are you using? What's the firmware version on your LSI card? My card is flashed to P20 IT mode.

Also my board has Realtek 8111E nic, I edited grub for MAC Address, S/N, VID e PID (USB)

Just a POSITIVE report for AMD CPU:

 

• - Mainboar ASUS E35M1 mini ITX with AMD E350 (integrated) CPU
  - IBM MegaRaid crossflashed LSI 9211 8i with last HBA_9211_8i_IT firmware (Revision: 20.00.07.00-IT)
  - Jun Loader V.1.01
  - 4xHDD 1TB WD10EZRZ in RAID 5 + SSD 8GB (DSM 6.0.2) + USB-SD 64MB (Loader)
  - DSM 6.0.2 with update 8
  - BTRFS & compressed folder -> OK
  - QuickConnect -> OK
  

 

The loader, on my motherboard, works both with the default menu entry (first), and with the "AMD support" (zImage=bzImage)

I installed DSM 6.0.2. on a spare little SSD of 8GB... (only for my convenience)

The system works fine with both the 9211 controller and with the integrated SATA chipset.

No problem (now!) with BTRFS... but just in "checking integrity" step, copying files in compressed folder would hang, when transferring, with message of timeout on the network connection (Linux client side) ... but with "retry" or "skip file" it resumed

I think for the low computing power of CPU (???) ... given that now, after that check integrity was completed, all works well.

Also quickconnectt is OK

 

The transfer rate of big files is near 60/70 MB/s (no compressed folder), on 1Gb wired LAN

 

Tests are in progress...

 

I hope I was helpful... and MANY THANKS for your work!
