Afaik, the readme explicitly warns about flashing back the fw… Backwards is hard. I went through that trying to get v20 reverted on some new HBAs. The only method I could find that worked was using the UEFI shell and UEFI sas2flash utility to erase the firmware and install the old version. On older motherboards, the DOS method should work. Solaris/Illumos sas2flash is incapable of erasing the firmware. -Chip Cheers, budy ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
