New LSI 9200 series controllers: 6Gb/s, 2.88 GB/s seq. reads, 1.87 GB/s seq. writes

there is a new firmware revision out. can anyone test with an evga motherboard? this one has a HUGE changelog...

I've downloaded it but am too chicken to go any further; why?
- do I leave the HDDs attached to it?
- my card is a re-badged 'IBM M1015' (LSI 9240-8i) - will this be a problem?

if I can leave my HDDs attached & no problem, I'll do it straight away.. tho I wont be able to give any info on evga mobos or performance boosts etc (my fileserver hardware is ancient )

Normally you can keep your HDs attached during flashing (I flashed my LSI 9260 more than 10 times now and although I did destroy the controller itself once by flashing it to an older version, I have never lost my Virtual Drive...)

I just tried the new firmware, driver and software and all seem to work fine (I did need to uninstall MSM before upgrading it, else it refused to start)

But... My WebBIOS issue still remains...

Can anyone please try to answer my questions from 3 posts above?
Also I would greatly appreciate if someone with a Gigabyte UD7 (rev1) and a LSI 9260 could try to see if you have the same issue...
