I'm rendering some video projects now and it will take some hours.
however when it ends tomorrow, I can try flash it.
also if sucessfull I may ask to also mod the latest v7 beta I'm modding now since it have more recent changes than the v6 version.
or let me to know how to mod if by myself

You mentioned that replacing <some driver>, don't remember which one, with your Shell enabler would be best, because it gets loaded in recovery mode. Is that what the unknown sections in many drivers, visible with AndyTool are about?
@ Brabbelbla
Iit was floppy driver. With 'drivers' command you can get list of all loaded drivers, get one loaded but never used and replace it with driver you want. You should keep original deppendency section and GUID
I'm not sure that all flash drivers are loaded at boot time

I see. Actually none of the flash drivers are displayed by 'drivers'. Maybe some were at some stage? Doesn't the BIOS image get shadowed in memory? Maybe they were unloaded after that.
Anyway, I believe in Phoenix BIOSes normally RaidEfiRom/SataDriver gets called by PlatformPci(Dxe), there is a reference in it to (one of) the protocol(s) published by RaidEfiRom. In the AMI source code it is loaded from SBDxe, which I guess covers the same function as PlatformPciDxe. It is loaded really early, if I see it correctly only the RetrainLink 'procedure' precedes it.
So maybe the driver ran at the wrong stage when I plainly replaced SystemIsaFloppyDxe with it. If kasars test doesn't work, maybe the solution would be a custom UEFI driver replacing PlatformPci, that loads the RaidEfiRom and then PlatformPci (and maybe other drivers, replacing the VBIOS with GOP drivers could be nice) from some other location; a sacrificed (flash part?) module. Does that sound plausible?
In principle, RaidEfiRom/SataDriver is a generic driver, so the code should be OK, I guess.

ok, flashed and tested.
however, results not as expected...

changed to RAID, restarted system
nothing detected

also when RAID option is selected, Intel RST menu appear, but while trying to enter, nothing happen except the cursor moves to the top position

so well, I think we will need to test another method.

Could you, in RAID mode, boot the shell, and use the 'dh -b' command? In the list you get, there are entries for all valid images I believe, can you see RaidEfiRom.efi there? If it isn't, I made some mistake, if it is, the issue is deeper.

the last line seems related with my usb stick and following command wich I entered
Code: dh -b > fs0:\raid_info.txt

Maybe I should have been clearer, just had an exam, pretty spent now. -b is for 'break', allowing you to read everything in the list. If you export it, don't use it.

oh,didn't knew the parameter meaning, next time I'll use just dh without parameters, but well, I noticed it didnt got cut on the output.
anyway, relating what you said, I cant see your raid driver.

(01-26-2015, 07:09 AM)Brabbelbla Wrote: I see. Actually none of the flash drivers are displayed by 'drivers'. Maybe some were at some stage? Doesn't the BIOS image get shadowed in memory? Maybe they were unloaded after that.
Anyway, I believe in Phoenix BIOSes normally RaidEfiRom/SataDriver gets called by PlatformPci(Dxe), there is a reference in it to (one of) the protocol(s) published by RaidEfiRom. In the AMI source code it is loaded from SBDxe, which I guess covers the same function as PlatformPciDxe. It is loaded really early, if I see it correctly only the RetrainLink 'procedure' precedes it.
So maybe the driver ran at the wrong stage when I plainly replaced SystemIsaFloppyDxe with it. If kasars test doesn't work, maybe the solution would be a custom UEFI driver replacing PlatformPci, that loads the RaidEfiRom and then PlatformPci (and maybe other drivers, replacing the VBIOS with GOP drivers could be nice) from some other location; a sacrificed (flash part?) module. Does that sound plausible?
In principle, RaidEfiRom/SataDriver is a generic driver, so the code should be OK, I guess. @Brabbelbla
Idea is nice - but Raid driver is deppends on PlatformPci and should be loaded after, and you are right - SystemIsaFloppyDxe is not the place it should be. I see some problems here - first of all there is a system loader , which know nothing about new RAID driver, and will load existing driver/OROM according to the setup preferences - which can make a conflict between system and RAID drivers (for example - owerwritten protocol pointers ). Second one - we should insert it just in right position - after all required drivers are loaded and just before system enumerated boot block devices , or you will get situationlike with boot flash drive when it is inserted in wrong time - you see it, from shell , but it is not available from boot menu
I think it will be nice if we could insert original PlatformPci as separate module with new image guid (not replace existing one), then replace original PlatformPci image with custom loader , which will load then image with the new PlatformPci guid , and then Unload existing drivers if needed and load additionl ones
Can you try to insert a new module ?
Btw - we can upgrade our system up to 2.4 spec by loading modules with missing protocols if all this will work
