Hello,

i have a X58a OC with a Marvel 9182 Sata Controller with a modded Bios. I want to replace the Marvel-Rom with the special one provided in the module section.
So i extracted the PCI Rom C with bin 91a2b25.bin that should be the right one (hex look).
But the huge difference in filesize is holding me from replacing the rom (131 vs 31) and i am wondering if i am something missing like bootloader, firmware etc. ???
Files are attached.

Thank you very much.

I'm trying to test AMD Raid ROM 3.3.1540.19 for my Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P (790X/SB750). Normally it supports Raid-5, and latest bios has 3.0.1540.59 ROM.
In device manager, i get ID 4393, but extracted modules show 92 43 Hex, so they are 4392 ones.
Since this is an Award bios-based board, i should use Uncompressed Misc.bin modules, but the ones listed in the first post are compressed ones.

My question is :
a) Should i use the 4393 or the 4392 Raid.bin ?
b) How can i decompress the Misc.bin attached in first post, in order to successfully insert to my Award BIOS ? (i tried with 7-zip, since it is lzma compression, but still the file is much smaller and different from the original one)

Thank you in advance
Regards,
George

Thank you for your reply !


In the first post i found the info that some 4393 devices have the particulatiry fo having a 4392 module.However, all new 4392 modules do not support Raid 5, altough the "old" original 3.0.1540.59 that i have (also 4392) supports Raid-5.

I guess that there was a split somewhere in the development of these modules so that the 4392 were for non-raid Southbridges (SB700/710,SB800, etc) and the 4393 for R-5 ones.

So, i may have to use 4393 modules from the latest ones.


As for the MISC.bin, the original (3.0.1540.59) in my bios is 61KB and the replaced one (3.2.1540.15) is 64, after these "3.2" modules i think that the MISC.bin files are smaller (approx. 22-24KB).

In the first post, there is a differentiation between the modules used in AMI bioses and the ones used in Award. AMI are compressed, AWARD are uncompressed. The small MISC.bin files in the first post (of 3.3. series) are compressed, because they have an -lh5- header.

I will try to see the differences by testing.


I found a set of modules in my database, 3.2.1540.31, from some ASUS Crosshair IV modded bios, it is for 4393 and i prepared a bios for that.

I will revert with results.


EDIT : Failed, Raid Rom does not even invoke at boot. Even tried with changing the DID inside it.

Will continue in a new thread for the GA-MA790X-UD3P
