I've done a bunch of variously branded 6Gb, and 12Gb SAS controllers to turn them into pass(4) devices. It's been about a year and a half since my last efforts. So my memory may be a bit off. But I did have problems a couple of times like you and I was able to overcome it by using a different motherboard. IOW some did well in DOS whereas some preferred the UEFI UI, and one needed a different UEFI -- a real PITA. I have a stockpile of various flashing utils and notes/procedures from both myself and others. I'll make a tarball out of everything I've got and give you a link (offlist). Maybe something I have will work better that your tools. HTH --Chris > > Thanks in advance, > > oliver
