Hi all, I had a bad luck trying to install DSM7.x on an old hardware. I have a MB with ICH7 chipset an a heavily trimmed BIOS with no option to set SATA to AHCI. It would be workaround to edit grub.cfg and setpci -s 0:1f.2 90.b=40 but I have no clue how to do it in TCRP. Please advise, Thx

Some updates : Just to avoid any problems with my settings/tools, I used the same image (1.02b MBR) , same Usb device for another PC. Just changing the MAC in the image, worked like a charm for second PC. I have no clue why is not working with my first PC.

Hi IG-88, thanks for confirmation. Extra lzma V4.8 , MBR tried too. Just in case , 3 USB sticks were tried with the same result. This motherboard has no serial port, i can't check it. Is the NO serial port and issue in booting process?

Hi, the motherboard is with LGA775 CPU and without AHCI support for SATA, i would go with loader 1.02b and DSM 6.1.x.

Hi All, Could you please add support for Broadcom NetXream bcm57760 NIC? The MB is from an Imedia S1800, basically is an ACER Verition M275. The NIC model was checked with a ubuntu live usb to make sure is correct. Thx
