So I decided last night to flash my M1015 to IT firmware before installing OpenIndiana.
I was able to clear the old firmware from it just fine, but I'm getting the unable to initialize PAL error message when trying to flash the new firmware now. I don't recall the exact file names now that I'm at home, but I made a DOS USB flash drive and tried the sas2flsh method. Also tried the SASFLASH tool from IBM, but it couldn't see the card at all.
From what I understand, this is a limitation of the motherboard. Unfortunately neither of my boards work (Intel DP67BG, MSI H61M-E33) regardless of what PCI-e slot I put it in.
The *only* system I'm interested in building any time soon would be an AMD E-350 to build a second HTPC for our bedroom. I read one person say they had trouble on a particular AMD E-350 board, but I figured I'd ask to see if anyone has had any success flashing an M1015 on any of them.
