Hi, it is attached to this message. Didn't try it yet, but I believe it won't work because the OROMs are limited to 64Kb for some reason on 'old' AwardBIOS releases. 8.5.0.1030 has 64Kb and 8.6.0.1007 has 79.5 Kb.
My board did not like this ROM either, throwing a "PNP/PCI compliant BIOS not installed!" error, as well as the BIOS itself briefly throwing some white-text option ROM errors after the AHCI OROM screen. I wasn't able to read these errors since the computer went into CMOS setup right after the error message flashed. Is it just because the newer OROMs are >64kb? What if this OROM was the last PCI OROM in the BIOS (i.e. PCI [C] for my board), or would that not matter at all?
I'd say yes, that is because of the OROM size. The "PNP/PCI compliant BIOS not installed!" error is basically saying the OROM is invalid, 'cause only the first 64Kb of code are being loaded into memory. We need to find and analyze the code responsible for loading the OROMs. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do that, but I know that Gigabyte should have fixed that limitation when the RAID OROM was updated to a larger one. It seems that only Phoenix-Award BIOSes are affected.
Same here on P5K-E wifi, how did you get it to work? //I failed because of old MMtool, 3.22 works! I was able to put INTEL RAID OROM 10.1.0.1008 in ASUS P5K-E wifi Looks ok.
Hi, i've a GBT p35-ds4 and i'd like upgrade my intel rom bios with 8.5 or 8.9 rom bios. Where can i find this file?? Your mobo is a p35 chipset with ICH9R? thanks
Wow, this is a great accomplishment for the Abit IP35Pro. Is there any chance one of the experts could upload the "equivalent" bios for the Abit IP35ProXE. Thanks.
JMicron Option ROM v1.07.24 JMicron Option ROM v1.07.24 Includes a modified version for Gigabyte, is exactly the same except for a few specific behaviours: - suggests GRAID as default array name - press CTRL+G to enter utility Still says JMicron instead of Gigabyte, but it is just a cosmetic issue. This fixed the SMART status reading in AIDA64 for disks in a RAID array. SMART is disabled when using the latest Gigabyte OROM v1.07.06.
Hi to all, i'm searching the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Option ROM v10.0.2.1004 option rom. Where can i found it? Thank you
Well i dont think it is... its 2 different branches... 1.08.01 does not seems to be in development, considering there was no new version for like a year?
v1.07.24 is from Q4/2010 and works with any board. v1.08.01 is a special version for port multiplier enabled controllers? / boards? or something like that, if I'm not mistaken.
Hmmm, I have v1.08.01 on my IP35 Pro right now. I have not actually tested it using any IDE/eSATA devices, only verified operation by enabling it in BIOS. I will have to experiment to see whether v1.08.01 works, and if not, change to v1.07.24. And if v1.07.24 is newer, maybe it's a better idea to use that version regardless.
