I just purchased a SiI 3114 RAID card (SYBA SD-SATA-4P), and I''m trying to use this in Linux so I was told to flash an IDE BIOS to the card.
I made a Win98 ISO boot disk and followed the directions _exactly_ and it said "BIOS flash failed. Try again?" I hit "Yes" a couple of times and finally just rebooted.
Now when I boot the PC hangs after detecting my drives (normal BIOS). Instead of the RAID BIOS showing up (eg. "Press CTRL-S to configure RAID..."), it just justing hanging.
This was a christmas gift so I'm pretty bummed out right now.
Can I somehow bypass the card's BIOS so I can at least get a DOS prompt so I can try reflashing it?
The motherboard is an ASUS TUV4X in case that matters...
