    Ok, that helps. If I get some time, I will look further.

    I replaced the Intel Raid ROM of the MSI BIOS with version 10.6.0.1091. As the length is the same, I expected Andy's tool would replace it in place, but the A062CF1F... ROM was moved/shifted.
    Could you check if the changed BIOS is ok?

    OK, I just tested it and it boots from the file. The thing is that while booting from a file from USB stick it is not possible to access the BIOS setup and change any settings with the result that I can only boot with default settings. With default settings the Intel controller is in IDE mode so that the Option ROM does not show up, but it seems to work in IDE mode. Since I have no real pressure to update the OROM I don't feel comfortable playing around much more. But actually it should be quite safe to flash the BIOS and flash back if something goes wrong.

    p4spooky also sent me a modded BIOS with the Intel ROM updated to 10.6.0.1091 and JMicron to 1.0.7.28 as (they are the same size) and wanted to publish it here after I reported that it works. I did that four days ago, but didn't hear from him anymore. I thought I post that here, too now. I hope it's OK.

    The updated BIOS is here: hxxp://vvv.box.net/shared/0ifrcz61rgacd6upl37d

    It is suitable for the following MSI boards:

    P67A-GD55
    P67A-GD65
    P67A-SD60
    P67A-GD53
    P67S-GD53
    P67A-SD60 (MS-7681)

    I will be away for two weeks from today on, so I can't do anymore testing here until I'm back.

    Another thing is that my newly created RAID got messed up after testing both BIOSes. The entries of two of the four hard drives have ":0" (colon + zero) appended to the serial number leading to the condition that the RAID does not find the drives anymore although they are there and functioning. This was a known issue and is supposed to be solved with 9.6.4.1002, but happens now and is reproducible. Intel was not very helpful about it. Since I had no data on the RAID it is not yet critical, but should it happen later again, all data would be lost according to Intel. I will do more testing to find out which condition exactly is causing it when I'm back. But there is a procedure to recreate the RAID without any loss of data should that happen to anyone after the OROM update:

    hxxp://vvv.overclock.net/raid-controllers-software/478557-howto-recover-intel-raid-non-member.html

    Basically the procedure is to delete the RAID, recreate it with the exact same settings and the drives in the same order and then let TestDisk find and enter the still untouched partition(s).

    Thank you!

    This option rom is already updated in my EVGA P55Micro MB and runs smooth. I would like to confirm that the Intel RAID Utility (the screen after POSTS) can be loaded up without problem.

    Thank-you i4u1.

    I can confirm that the latest Intel RST OROM 11.0.0.1124 works with my Rampage Formula. Both my RAID0 Array (boot) and my RAID1 Array work perfectly.

    Using a modded version of BIOS 0001.
    JMicron OROM 1.07.28
    Yukon PXE 6.68.1.3 (first NIC only)
    Intel RST OROM 11.0.0.1124
    ASUS SLIC 2.1

    Note: The last Intel RST OROM that worked for me was v10.5.1.1070; v10.6.0.1091 did not work.

    Regards.

    @i4u1:
    Well, it still does not work on Asus Rampage II Extreme (X58 chipset). The last working Intel RST OROM is 10.1.0.1008. Do you have any idea what can be the problem?

    Anyone tested it on Asus P6X58D-E? Latest working one is 10.1.0.1008. Strange is that X58 mobos from different vendor accept it...

    i4u1,
    can you reupload 11.0.0.1124.bin please? Download several times, and cannot unpack archive due to "unexpected end of archive" error.

    If you are referring to file 20_2822_0_11.0.0.1124.zip - there is nothing wrong with it. Try closing all Internet browser windows & clearing the cache.

    Then download the file again...

    Interesting, could this be the reason Intel ROM 10.5.xxx -> not work on some mobos? How to check it?

    I tested ASUS P6T DELUXE BIOS 2209 with new Intel OROM 11.0.0.1124 but motherboard didn't work.
    It was impossible to boot, only blinking cursor.
    Reflashed BIOS, back to normal condition.
    Latest working one is OROM 10.1.0.1008
    Anyone can test it more? Thanks!
