Hi,

I ordered myself an IBM M1015 / LSI 9220-8i

I am following these 2 posts on how to flash it to IT-mode:

http://www.penlug.org/foswiki/bin/view/Main/FreeNasHardwareInfoIbmM1015

I started with inserting the card into my NAS (that I built myself) , I was able to clean the old firmware on it using Megarec, but my NAS didn't have a built in EFI Shell, so I tried to run one using rEFInd.

I managed to boot into rEFInd and browse my way into the other USB drive, but I got an error “application not started from shell”, even though I booted rEFInd in UEFI mode.

I moved the card over to my HTPC and booted that into the built in EFI shell. but when running sas2flash.exe... I get "No LSI SAS Adapters found!" , tried booting back into DOS and running MegaRec again, but it did not see the card this time.

At the moment I am left with a card with no firmware and sas2flash.exe does not see it.

Any tips are highly appreciated, as I am running out of disc space and need this card to plug in the HDD's I plan on buying on Black friday.

thanks!
