Anton, Apologies if this has been answered - I get the digest. This information is from the January 2005 User's Guide =20 (MegaRAID_software_guide_ver01_PDF_Draft_20050111.pdf), available on =20 LSI's website. I haven't tried this, and have a different MegaRaid =20 controller in any case, so you may want to wait to speak with LSI's =20 tech support if you can, especially if you don't have backup of your =20 data. Not sure if the firmware version on your card will have an =20 impact on what features are available. --- 2.12.1 Resolving a Configuration Mismatch If the replacement controller has a previous configuration, the message Unresolved configuration mismatch between disk(s) and NVRAM on the adapter displays during the power-on self test (POST) stating that there is a configuration mismatch. A configuration mismatch occurs when the configuration data in the NVRAM and that on the hard disk drives are different. You need to update the configuration data in =20 the NVRAM with the data from the hard disk drive. Perform the following steps =20 to resolve the mismatch. Step1. Press when prompted during bootup to access the BIOS Configuration Utility. Step2. Select Configure=97>View/Add Configuration. This gives you the option to view both the configuration on the NVRAM and the hard drive disk. Step3. Select the configuration on disk. Step4. Press and select YES to update the NVRAM. Step5. Press to exit, then reboot. --- HTH, Tony Del Porto SysAdmin USENIX Association 2560 9th Street, Suite 215, Berkeley CA 94710 tony@usenix.org | www.usenix.org | www.sage.org
