Asus BIOS fix for SATA data corruption
Hey guys,
Just got an email from Asus about the SATA data corruption issue on the A7N8X DX. Now this BIOS is for the rev 1.04 and 1.06 motherboards but there is also a new BIOS for the rev 2 boards that may coincide. here's the email excerpt that is relevant...
"An e-mail will be sent containing the latest beta BIOS from ASUS, which includes the requested Silicon Image fix that you mentioned. Please update your BIOS with this fix and let us know if you continue to have problems."
The BIOS is the Beta 1004.002 that is posted in the Asus Beta download area. There is also, I think, a corresponding 1005 Beta BIOS for the rev 2 boards. Don't hold me to it!
If you try this, run your OS on the IDE port and do some testing of the SATA RAID drives to be sure it actually works. I've installed the BIOS but haven't yet removed the .281 drivers and installed the .28 drivers to check. I'm a little nervous because I'm running on the SATA RAID only. Try at your own risk. I really hope this works for us all!
