Win 8.1 Update 1 --> LSI Driver = Code 10

Anonymous

Prior to the Update 1 for Win 8.1 there is was no issue with the "LSI Adatper, SAS2 2008 Falcon" driver.  The device is a IBM M1015 cross flashed using the "IT Firmware" as LSI 9211-8i.  Post the update the drive "Code 10"'s.  You can Disable / Enable the driver in Windows Device Manager and it is then fine but on the next reboot it will "Code 10" again.  

I've tried:

  • Updated the MB BIOS to the latest version
  • Updated the card to the latest LSI IT FW/BIOS & Driver
  • Uninstalled / Reinstalled in Safe mode
  • ...even purchased a new PSU incase it was flaky 

If I rollback to prior to Update 1 then it is fine.

If I reboot the PC it will Code 10, but many times it will load correctly if I do a Cold boot (power down, power up).

Thanks

Nathan

    User HotShott has also found this workaround 

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LSI_SAS2]

    "Start"=dword:00000001

    The Win 7 -storport drivers seem to be the ones to use for now.

    Yup- spoke to soon, got my first Code 10's.  Now trying the P19 Win 7 -storport drivers and these seem OK(ish) (not Code 10 but long reboot times)

    I was finally able to install the new P19 firmware and driver on my system and although I have only rebooted it a few times it does appear to be working better. No Code 10 errors yet!

    In testing with the P19 IT firmware and P19 Win 8.1 std driver (eg not the -storport driver) I've not had a code 10 yet but as I found before

    • Warm Boot (eg a Restart from Windows) = Slow Boot to login screen (over 1 min), quick load of desktop, LSI all good
    • Cold Boot (eg Power up from a Shutdown) = Fast Boot to login screen, quick load of desktop, LSI all good

    So it seems LSI have fixed it so Windows will not boot till the adapter is ready :)  I have no idea why sometimes it takes ages for the adapter to become ready (mostly from a warm boot).

    Thanks
