Foxconn BloodRage Issues / BIOS Bugs Thread

[ilsant0]

Are you saying when you only had 1 SSD, that you were installing the OS under IDE mode, then just switched BIOS to RAID mode and it still worked? I have a vista installed on the Apex under IDE and if try to boot from it in RAID mode, I get a BSOD while loading windows files. Anyhoo, getting off track.

Yes!... i confirm that.

This was my only big installation iussue. In bios I setted as IDE but on first OS reboot i toke this error (bootmgr is missing = vista 64 - and for XP another strange error...). To resolve this iussue i changed ONLY the setting into bios from IDE to RAID and the installation ended.... i think that it is a ssd firmware bug.
You can do this test: connect only sata0 = optical drive and sata1 Apex. In bios set on IDE and then install Vista 64. When vista installation reboot for first time and you get the bootmgr error, go in bios and set to RAID. In the next restart youll see to continue the vista installation without error test it!
If your installation end without vista installation error, please set on sata0 your apex and on sata4 your optical driver (this is mine condition in which i take vista installation error...
At this point i don know if it is a Bloodrage bios iussue or a ssd firmware bug.

No, that's ok, it works for you and if you are currently unable to load a boot disk from your optical as you said, then I know why as it is the same reason as it would be on my machine.
I'm going to try another clean attempt at my desired configuration on Monday and see if I'm still getting this "Reset Port Error!!".

i thing the only difference between mine and your sistem is the dvd/cd's sata port.
I have it on sata 4 while you have it on sata0.
So today ill change my dvd sata port into sata0
ill set in this mode:
sata0 = dvd/cd
sata1= nothing
sata2/3= ssd g.skill (in raid)
sata4/5= VR (in raid)

Your english is just fine, better than xXIAinXx right now, but he may be typing drunk
