Hi!
I bought an OEM Tyan S2915-E (from an XW9400 workstation) off eBay, accepting the risks as it was sold "as is". The board works perfectly, except I can't get the onboard LSI 1068E adapter to work. I've tried re-flashing it with new firmware/BIOS (sasflash), but all attempts fail with the error message "controller not operational" or something. During the flash attempt I also noticed some error messages that the process fails to reset the card. The card is enabled in the BIOS. I assume this means that the controller is dead, but thought I should check with you experts to see if you have any opinions? Anything I could try to get this thing going?
Thanks!
