Hi there,
I have recently been setting up a trueNAS server with a Supermicro mini-itx motherboard (M11SDV-4CT-LN4F) and would like to use a SAS HDA LSI9211-8i, which I flashed to "it mode" from a Gigabyte motherboard in an EFI shell mode. The card is well recognized by the Gigabyte motherboard and also by an ASrock motherboard. Unfortunately, I could get it to work with the Supermicro board. To be specific, when the motherboard tried to boot the card, which was correctly identified, it stalled with the message "intitializing -". After that I did the following:
i) Boot in an efi shell with a USB key containing the program sas2flash.efi, which was used to flash the card. Then use the option -show, but it stalled again.
ii) Modified the PCI-E OPROM setting in the bios to boot UEFI, previously on legacy. This was a tip I found on this site. Unfortunately, in my case that did not work. It just skipped the card initialization.
iii) I also tried a LSI Raid card 9260-i8 in Raid mode, which was fully recognized and initialized with the Oprom setting in Legacy.
I am started to think that the card that I have is just incompatible. Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help!
