Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[acmalko]

Hi

I'm french so excuse my possible mistakes.

First of all, thank you Ket for the job you made on P5Q bios, it's really interesting, even five years after, great effort !

I'm a newbie on this forum and I can post now since 5 mins that's why you can read the same message on your private message (I've done it just before)

I don't need any help, I just want to give my experience. I've failed this afternoon to boot with the last beta bios. Don't be afraid, I'm OK now 'cause I've reflashed the correct bios.

my config:
Asus P5Qpro and Intel Q9550@3.8GHz (FSB 445, no more)
GEIL PC8500 @ 1069MHz, strap 333MHz
Raid 0 - 3xSamsung SpinPoint F3 (HD502HJ)
current bios 2102 mod

I was interested with this beta bios because of the Intel raid driver update. I have just installed v 11.5 on Windows 7 and it works fine with the actual v9.6.0.14 in the bios rom.
With the beta bios, the computer freezes at the end of the POST, just after the raid configuration screen unable to boot on the raid (even after a clear cmos and bios setup)
Unable to use Alt+F2 for bios flashing utility and Suppr to enter bios setup, it freezes just before, each time.

A last clear cmos gave me the default setup and I was able to boot on an alternative IDE hard disk where I found a correct bios to flash back.

So those are my 2 cents, I think the intel driver is NOT OK with my configuration, I know you've not tested it.

Have a good day,
