You need to update your ICH9R Option Rom to use the vertex 2 (firmware 1.11) as a boot disk. Ligushka is kindly offering his help to get your favorite BIOS with updated option ROMs.

Good luck.
Thanks, Powerfull

Ligushka has posted a BIOS 18 updated with

Phoenix AHCI Option ROM 01.06.70 (08-13-2008)
Intel RAID/AHCI Option ROM 8.5.0.1030
JMicron JMB363 Option ROM 1.08.01

I saw you propose the latest ICH9R option ROM v8.9.0.1023 in another post.
Is it necessary to update the Intel AHCI to the latest or the 8.5.0.1030 version that Ligushka used is good enough for OCZ vertex 2 and maybe?

Thank you
