Hi,
I tried to setup a MegaRAID SAS 9265-8i controller on a new DQ77MK Board.
The problem is that I cannot enter the configuration screen (Ctrl-R) and the Controller does not show up as boot device.
I noticed the following:
1. The Main Bios Screen with the Blue White Background (and Press F2 to enter BIOS etc) is shown a lot longer since i plugged in the RAID Controller.
2. Then the RAID Controller messages are shown and the controller does react to the Ctrl-R press by showing "Please Wait..." but then the PC stops responding (still showing the blinking cursor). Alt-Ctrl-Del does not reset it. I have to use the reset button.
3. If I do not try to go into the RAID Controller configuration screen then the Main Bios screen (blue/white as above) flashes again briefly and then tries to boot the configured boot devices (the RAID Controller is not a shown / known boot device).
I tried to set some BIOS options such as "Boot Display Options"->"Expansion Card Text" set to "Enable" (as well as the default "Disable" and the "Hide All") and also tried with and without UEFI enabled but saw no change.
I do not have a RAID array configured at the moment so i do not know if it would try to boot from it but simply does not show the controller in the BIOS.
I am using the integrated Graphics of the I7-3770 that I am using.
Can someone please try a raid controller on this board and let me know if it works? (Shows up in BIOS and Can enter Configuration Screen)
Thanks & best regards!
Edit:
I now also tried a PERC 6/i Raid Controller. I can also not get into the controller configuration screen (hangs as with the other). Notable difference is that after power on it immediately shows the controller messages (firmware initializing etc) and then goes to the bios screen.
