Hi Guys,
Just update to the issue of the Promise RAID controller not always displaying its BIOS screen at bootup of the MSI K7T Turbo when used with certain Nvidia AGP cards (Leadtek TNT2 Ultra, Hercules Geforce 256 DDR).
In MSI Bios version 2.4 If user chooses "Load Optimal settings" in bios, this will turn on the "Enable USB Mouse" option by default. In version 2.4 this setting must instead be changed to "Disabled" or it will cause the effect of not displaying the Promise Bios screen when used with select Nvidia cards.
In MSI Bios version 2.5 (new) If user chooses "Load Optimal settings" in bios, this turns on the "Enable USB Keyboard" AND "Enable USB Mouse" by default. In version 2.5 BOTH these settings must instead be changed to "Disabled" or they will cause the effect of not displaying the Promise Bios screen when used with select Nvidia cards.
The only Bios versions which do not seem to share this problem is the Overclockers Bios. They seem to work fine with all the Nvidia cards.
Thx,
Jon Kaiser
