    What was the crux of the problem and how did you solve it?

    I'd like to try it as well.

    It is used on many BIOS for Intel boards, but didn't find a way to extract the module (EFI Unpacker doesn't work properly).

    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.

    Thank you! I will try to test with my IP35 Pro a bit later today and report my results.

    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.

    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.

    The latest version for JMB363 and JMB368 is v1.08.01, isn't it? Why upload this older version?

    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.
