Hey Fernando,

No luck, the NVME EFI module doesn't appear to be in the BIOS file.

I keep thinking that maybe I should give the uefitool and nvmexpressdxe a try, but that sounds so risky...

If I was completely sure that I can add those little lines to the BIOS file and then remove them without the slightest issue, I would do it, but...

It would be great if you had any other suggestion, I even started searching for a Samsung 950 Pro drive, but they all seem to have vanished with the new 960's and 970's.

Thanks.

Hey Fernando,

The BIOS version you're referring to is for the X10DRi-T4+ and X10DRi-LN4+ models, which are the top ones for these motherboards series.

Mine is the X10DRi, which has the same BIOS as the X10DRiT. That BIOS' last version is X10DRi18_206.

You can see it here: https://www.supermicro.com/support/resou...s=x10dri&lgus=1

Thanks

Hi Fernando
I have problem with 970 EVO booting. I modified UEFI bios on my am1h-itx mobo with ed2k team file . Windows see it as secondary. In bios come PATA device , but is not booting from it , nor w7 nor linux. I heard people are adding 3 DXE files to bios, is that a reason i added only 1?
Thanks for answer in advance.

Hi Fernando,

The BIOS I'm using is that one I mentioned to you in my last post, the one on the SuperMicro page, so it is the last version. Anyway, no problem.

I'm sending you the modded BIOS in a .zip file, see if that's ok.

In this file, the modification is in: Intel image -> BIOS region -> second section -> last line of the tree: 5BE3BDF4-53CF-46A3-A6A9-73C34A6E5EE3 (that one has the text "NvmExpressDxe_4") on the right.

I really appreciate your help, thank you very much.

Thanks for your answer Fernando
I added exactly NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs module size 20832 bytes. If i switch off csm i cant even boot installator from pendrive. shows UEFI kingston pendrive but not booting with it , going back to UEFI bios. What else i could try to make it working ?

Fernando
With CSM on i can see PATA device to boot in UEFI menu. after i install linux , make clone disk etc on 970 EVO and put this PATA as boot device im getting commends this is improper boot device , put other disk and try again. Should this boot from this PATA device ?
