asus m2n68-am

so I have an asus m2n68am and my bios only picks up my 3tb hdd as a 700mb hdd and I wish to update the raid/ahci option rom.

inside the rom is 4 option roms with a nividia vendor id as follows I opened them up with a hex editor and below is the information:



053B (MCP68 VGA BIOS Version 5.67.32.26.00 )
053E ( MCP68 VGA BIOS Version 5.67.32.26.00)
0558 (MediaShield ROM BIOS 10.0.0.34)
054C (NVIDIA Boot Agent249.0542)

so I believe I can update to MediaShield ROM BIOS to version 10.0.0.35 is this correct ?

I have downloaded this rom do I just need to intergrate this rom in my bios or do I need to hex edit or something ?



also why is there two identical vga option roms in the bios?

my chipset is a nforce 7050/630a chipset.

I recently preformed a slic 2.1 update on my bios here and that is all working correctly and I guessed I would fix the raid while Im at it:

Also of note if I enable ahci port 1 is channel 1 port 2 ir channel 2 3-3 etc... but if I enable raid mode port 1 is 2 port 2 is channel 1 and they are all muddled up.

It also seems to have bugs with smart listing the wrong drive as faulty, will changing the option rom fix these issuies?

There also seems to have problems with acpi with linux and I have to disable the power saving options to boot up is this generally just a bad bios build?

so I used the mmtool to integrate the new raid rom and have attached the before and after bios files.

would someone be able to verify I have done it correctly?

I'm not game to try it is there some way of soft loading the bios image like relokick on the Amiga?
