    Never had this problem, but if config screen shows you a broken array, you don't have much to do but format...

    What I meant was that I could get through POST (as in boot from USB stick etc) if I unplugged one of my two disks. Of course that is going to temporarily break the array.

    However, I tried to reproduce that today and couldn't get through POST in any way other than not having ANY disks plugged into the controller. My plan from yesterday was to get a Windows up and running on a spare non-RAID hard disk I have lying around, however even with that non-RAID disk connected (as the only disk, nothing else) I cannot get through POST. So there goes my theory that the disks were somehow the culprit.

    Hy!
    I have ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard, with Marvell 9128 controller on it. I did mod with latest bios and firmware, but from day one, DEVICE ID is pointed at 9123 chip! The original driver from Marvell's homepage only has aoutoload.bin and any other file referred to 9123, not 9128 chip! How can I make image file for 9128 (or modules 20, E6, E7), so DEVICE ID is 9128. Everything is working OK, but it bothers me wrong "name" of Marvell controller. Thanks!!!

    ? Same mobo, latest drivers from stationdrivers; my device name is Marvel 91xx SATA 6G Controller. Just hardware ID is 9123 (I haven't checked standard one, perhaps it's the same), so, what's the problem?

    This is already known issue! I've checked on motherboard, there is 9128 chip on it (I saw with my eyes), the motherboard specifications says it is 9128 controller, but ASUS BIOS says it is 9123 controller. There is no problem, everything works fine, but it bothers me the wrong DEVICE ID...

    Edit your Marvel rom with a Hex editor and replace all "9123" with "9128"...

    Welp, solved it! Apparently the latest 109 BIOS from Tyan is faulty, and not specifically my mods. Reverted to 107 and everything works fine again. :)

    Ehm, sorry... Try my bios, I checked it and I found that in the menu where you can enable or disable Sata 3 controller, it is named as 9128...

    Will try. My question is, which one should I choose? They mention 11.5 being buggy, but it's the newest one. What do u think?

    I realize this is quite an old thread, but I was hoping that you would be able to point me to where this file is now, since the RapidShare link you provided here is expired.
    Much obliged for anything you have on this one.

    You will only get a RAID option, if your mainboard has the related hardware, that means a RAID Controller. Does your mainboard natively support RAID?

    I have a problem with replacing ROM, version I want to include is 8086-2822, but in my BIOS file I have 3 files: 8086,106 8086,1502 and 8086,1503. I tried to delete the last one and include the new ROM, but all it says is 'Error replacing'
