FWIW, crossflashing from IR to IT or vice-versa requires that you boot into DOS with their flasher and firmware, nuke the existing firmware, and replace it - hopefully not rebooting in the middle, because your card would be a brick if you did. :)
Of course, if you did this, and it still refused to flash once you'd removed the firmware entirely, I don't have any thoughts. c.f. http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16266.aspx - Rich On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 5:59 PM, Russ Price <rjp_...@fubegra.net> wrote: > On 08/30/2011 01:40 PM, oi-disc...@mho.nu wrote: >> >> There are different firmwares for that controller: one that handles >> SAS+SATA 1.5Gb+SATA 3Gb and one that does SAS+SATA 3Gb+SATA 6Gb. >> >> See >> http://www.lsi.com/support/products/Pages/LSI%20SAS%203081E-R.aspx >> >> (Don't know if there is any corresponding "Intel" firmware, but >> crossflashing has worked for me) > > > Thanks for the link! > > Last time I tried crossflashing (I tried to install IT firmware), it didn't > work; the installer refused to install the firmware.
