billymg: you gotta set, in bios setup, pcie to '8x' mode. |
| 05:07 |
asciilifeform |
billymg: the 8x/16x autodetect is afaik b0rken on all supermicro boards. |
| 05:07 |
asciilifeform |
also set optionrom to 'expansions 1st' |
| 05:07 |
asciilifeform |
then will get the raid menu and bootable. |

asciilifeform: yeah, i already set it to 8x, prior to that was not even appearing in lspci |
| 14:29 |
billymg |
asciilifeform: also set the "scan for roms" to "addon first", no dice |
| 14:31 |
billymg |
turned off "quiet boot", tried disabling onboard ide/sata |
| 14:33 |
billymg |
tried pretty much any bios option that seemed even remotely related |
| 14:38 |
billymg |
the model number of my board is H8DGU-F and it's on the 3.5a bios, there is a 3.5c available. i'm thinking if i get the card working on another machine i'll try updating the bios |
| 14:39 |
billymg |
also tried moving the card to different slot in the riser (there are two), no change from that either |
| 14:41 |
billymg |
jumpers are in the correct position according to the manual |
| 14:48 |
asciilifeform |
billymg: have you verified the card to be alive in anuther box ? |
| 14:48 |
billymg |
not yet |
| 14:49 |
asciilifeform |
a |
| 14:50 |
billymg |
also not yet tried downloading sys-block/storcli to try interacting with it from the os |
| 14:50 |
billymg |
but appears in dmesg and lspci. dmesg claims drivers loaded properly |
| 14:51 |
billymg |
was brand new card, shipped in original packaging |
| 14:51 |
asciilifeform |
billymg: i've encountered cards which 'work' but not bootable from |
| 14:51 |
billymg |
i see |

helps to have a known-good card in yer stash, then can rule out sad box |

biggest pain about this stuff in cr is it ain't order another, try in ~2 days, it's order another, try in ~2 weeks |
| 14:53 |

asciilifeform also encountered supermicro boxen where the pcie riser damaged |
| 14:53 |
asciilifeform |
billymg: this is 1 reason wai asciilifeform not in e.g. cr |
| 14:54 |
billymg |
asciilifeform: could throw a spare vid card in there just to test |
| 14:54 |
asciilifeform |
aha |
| 14:54 |
asciilifeform |
if you have a 8x card |
| 14:55 |
billymg |
hrm, that i'm less sure of |
| 14:57 |
billymg |

Same shit happened in April, yet these peeps always think "rUnNiNg A wAlLeT aS a WeB eXtEnSiOn Is FiNe!" |

billymg |
ok, so plugged into another machine the LSI/3ware boot message appears |
| 16:24 |
billymg |
so i guess that means it's a configuration issue, bios issue (that could maybe be solved by flashing the latest bios version), or a hardware issue with the PCI slot or riser |
| 16:28 |
billymg |
but yeah, the card appears to work fine, can press 'alt 3' to enter the bios config screen for the raid card |
| 16:29 |
billymg |
didn't bother connecting any drives, but no reason to believe it wouldn't work. on the supermicro, during boot, never saw any message from the card at all |
| |
~ 22 minutes ~ |

awt |
billymg: no recollection of any bios changes to get the 3ware card working |
| 16:52 |
billymg |
awt: any chance you know your bios version? |
| 16:53 |
billymg |
if it's 3.5c i'll go ahead and do the reflash |
| 16:53 |
awt |
billymg: not sure how to get that without rebooting |
| 17:00 |
awt |
billymg: 3.5a |
| 17:02 |
awt |
billymg: I suspect it's going to take even longer to get your visa with all the ransomeware attacks |
| 17:03 |
billymg |
awt: damn, so that rules out bios version as the culprit |
| 17:04 |
billymg |
i'm on 3.5a as well |
| 17:07 |
billymg |
awt: lol, just checked the online status of my immigration application, previously it was listed as "Solicitud Recibida" since fall last year, now just says "No existen registros" |
| 17:10 |
billymg |
at least now i can just tell the policia that "los hackers rusos robaron mi solicitud" |
