2990WX is a beast, hope you get it up and running soon.
I do too miss real workstation mobos for TR platform. Everything nowadays is RGB bling, Fatal1ty and other 'gaming' cr@p. Closest to my wish comes the Zenith. |

I've put a ticket in but not got any response yet. On the firmware it has the last one that was released before it went EOL. Though it is EOL its what most datahoarders/storage people with home storage systems use because its super cheap,effective, and (usually) just works. Apparently it does "just work" on other boards sadly just not the taichi or the Fatal1ty. Really want to start using my 32 cores ;-; it was literally an amazing experience.

Welcome to the world of ASRock, friend. On the topic - did you have a chance to update the firmware of your LSI? Other than that I can only recommend you open a ticket here https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp Maybe after an year or two they will release a fix. Anywho, if you decide to get rid of that X399 of yours, let me know. I need one for a wall decoration. It's the only thing they are good for.  Edited by xhue - 21 Aug 2018 at 4:30am |

Sadly tried.. Setting bootrom to UEFI is what allowed it to eventually get to the OS. Also tried putting tape over certain pins as recommended in /r/datahoarder as they said sometimes a certain system on the cards that works with enterprise boards won't with consumer. Also didn't work though this is a "workstation" board so I'd expect more compatibility. Honestly never had any trouble out of this card till I got this board sadly. Thanks for the recommendation though.

On Saturday I built my new system with an ASRock Taichi X399, 2990WC, and an LSI 9201-16i card. This was to replace my old xeon server and merge my gaming machine with it. Come to find out though the Taichi apparently has some major compatibility issue with the LSI 9201-16i HBA card. It took some work to get it to boot properly with it but after that I "lost" two disks then attempting to bring my array down the entire PCI card just simply disappeared. Rebooting displayed a few of the same errors I had to over come previously and finally getting back into the OS (Unraid) I simply mounted a drive. Drive came up and then immediately tons of errors logged into the sys log and 9201 card disappeared again. Took the card and stuck it into my old system booted 100% fine. Put it in my old ASRock with an i5-2500k booted and tested just fine. Put it in my gaming machine same. So I took out all my new hardware and stuck the old Xeon stuff back in and it rebuilt my array the rest of the weekend while having to recover 4 TB of data that was lost from backup. I put a ticket in with ASRock support and still haven't heard anything back. My question is has anyone successfully ran an LSI 9201-16i card? If so how did you pull it off? My other question is if any of the MODs know any of the tech peoples at ASRock could you have them look into this issue? There are two other threads besides mine on reddit where they had the same issue but they simply ended up returning the board and buying a Zenith and I really don't want to as I really like ASRock boards. Any help is appreciated as well. Also to the MODs sorry for creating an account and immediately posting. Below is the two reddit threads I was talking about. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/92563l/boot_issue_with_lsi_920116i_hba/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/88yl4t/lsi_sas_920116e_and_x399_threadripper_issues/ https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/boot-issue-with-lsi-9201-16i.21255/ <- another two who sadly moved to another board because of this problem
