Hi All,
I have recently completed a new build for my FreeNAS system, with the following specs:
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 motherboard
8GB DDR3
M1015 Raid card (flashed to IT mode)
AMD FX6100 6-core CPU
6x 1TB HDDs (configured for RAIDZ1)
The problem is this: if I have any drives plugged into the M1015 card at boot, the system hangs at "verifying DMI pool data...". If I remove the drives from the bays, boot the system with the 4 drives connected to the MoBo's SATA ports, then plug the drives into the M1015 bays, it works as expected.
My thinking is that the DMI pool is set based on me not having any drives plugged into the SAS port, but I can't find any way of forcing a reset of the DMI pool in the BIOS. I'm trying to avoid a manual workaround (like plugging the drives in/out like I am now) as this will prevent me from adding additional drives in the future.
I'm somewhat at a loss, as I've tried ust about every BIOS setting I can think of to get around this, but just can't seem to get it working. I've also re-imaged my FreeNAS USB several times incase that was causing the issue, but to no avail.
Any help on where to go to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
