    I have Marvell 9128 1.0.0.1029 rom in my modded Asus P6X54D-E. In the link Fernando posted there's 1.0.0.1033. Don't I need even modules E6 ad E7 for my motherboard?

    Oh, ok, so I have just to replace Rom module, the run the update utility go.bat by a DOS OS?
    Do you have E6 and E7 modules (I did it with an old version and I feel safier)?

    That is the way other users with a Marvell 91xx SATA Controller succeeded.
    No, but they should be within the Marvell 91xx firmware update package v2.2.0.1125b. You may extract the E6 and E7 modules from your currently flashed mainboard BIOS and compare the files with the content of the new firmware set.

    I now noticed that my Marvell ROM is 1B4B_9123, not 9120... May I replace it safely?

    Yes.
    This is the content of the hw_config.txt, which is part of the Marvell 91xx firmware pack v2.2.0.1125b:
    Code:
    [SECTION]VENDOR_ID = 1B4B
    DEVICE_ID_LIST = 9023,90A3,9110,9190,9111,9191,9120,91A0,9122,91A2,9123,91A3,9125,91A5,9128,91A8,9130,91B0
    [END]

    Where did the 11.5.0.1414 ROM came from?

    Where did the 11.5.0.1414 OROM came from?

    I'd like to know if it can be considered a Production version or a Beta?

    Thanks.

    Yes, you should recover the original BIOS structure by doing that.
    Nevertheless it may be necessary to open the modded BIOS with a hex editor and to check the exact offset position of the "MEMINITENTRYPOINT", which should be the same as within the original BIOS file.

    If you are not able to boot Windows 7 in RAID mode after having updated the Intel RAID ROM version of your BIOS, either the inserted ROM module doesn't match your system or you have done something wrong.
    How did you test the different SATA modes? Which Intel RST/RSTe drivers did you use?

    This is my question, too. Don't know why ASUS inserts SVGA oROM in P5Q Deluxe BIOS. But since it's there and I've got a newer one, I replaced it.

    Note that 11.5.0.1414 (120,320 bytes) is about 1.5k smaller than 11.2.0.1527 (121,856 byets). Maybe that is why part of the Intel SATA oROM functions, e.g., AHCI/IDE, are ok.

    For 11.2.0.1527, it bricks my board and I have to clear CMOS to recover it. For 11.5.0.1414, it bricks the MB in RAID mode if there is any SATA HDD. However, when I unplugged all the power cords from SATA HDD(s), I can then do anything, including booting from DVD, HDD, or floppy. I can even enter the BIOS to change SATA mode to AHCI.

    After selecting AHCI mode for SATA, I successfully installed Windows 2008 Server DC to SSD (Vertex 4) from USB stick. The installation speed is terrific, almost twice as fast when oROM is 10.1.0.1008. So, I'm thinking that forget about RAID and settle down Windows in AHCI mode.
