VROC boot problem

[KOstr]

Hello all,

I am having constant issues with Windows 10 booting from my VROC RAID0 volume. In about 30% of cases Windows boot hangs with the balls rolling indefinitely. The only help is to use hard reset. I believe I have a configuration that should be fully supported according to Intel documentation.

Here are the most relevant details of my configuration:

Intel Xeon W-2155

ASUS WS C422 Pro/SE (latest BIOS version 702)

Intel VROCPREMMOD Key

ASUS Hyper M.2 X16

Samsung SM961 MZVKW1T0HMLH (four units)

no other storage devices connected to either PCH or VMD

Broadcom MegaRAID 9460-16i controller (with non-bootable RAID6 using mechanical disks)

I have one VROC array configured with two volumes: RAID0 boot volume (1TB), and RAID5 data volume (2TB). Windows was freshly installed with the help of F6 drivers version https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27331/Intel-Virtual-RAID-on-CPU-Intel-VROC-and-Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-enterprise-Intel-RSTe-Driver-for-Windows- 5.3.0.1413.

Best regards,

Karol

Hello Diego,

ASUS has officially released a new BIOS version 0802 for my motherboard WS C422 PRO/SE. This is the official BIOS release with VROC 5.4 and the correction for boot problems described in this thread.
