05:07 asciilifeform 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.
05:08 * asciilifeform learned this empirically, laboriously, in piz cage

14:28 billymg 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
14:52 asciilifeform helps to have a known-good card in yer stash, then can rule out sad box
14:53 billymg 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 will first try the raid card in my other box here, i've got a free slot for it

16:16 shinohai Same shit happened in April, yet these peeps always think "rUnNiNg A wAlLeT aS a WeB eXtEnSiOn Is FiNe!"
16:23 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 ~
16:52 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"
17:16 billymg all of the gov websites here are ASP.net, doesn't really surprise me too much
