baoshi Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I just bought RocketRaid 3120, my first true H/W raid card, pair with 2x1TB samsung HDD, on GA-EP45-DS3LR I have pre-installed Lion 10.7.1 on a SSD direct connected to MB SATA port. But ever since I plug in the RAID card, Lion stops boot and stalls at waiting for root device step. Did a -v boot and along with "still waiting for root device", I see an error message "IOP controller firmware not ready". This is regardless of whether the 2x1TB is connected to the controller or not. The same controller works well with Windows. I also tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD but the PC automatic restart during loading. Any help are appreciated.

baoshi Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 update: with GTX285 on EP45-DS3LR, add npci=0x2000 solve the "IOP firmware not ready" issue. Later I changed graphics to H5770, npci=0x2000 no longer work So I switched to P35-DS3R, everything works again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
