A few months ago, I had to flash the firmware on a LSI 2008 aka 9211-8i because I needed the card in "IT" (Initiator Target) mode rather than "IR" (Integrated Raid), and this requires different firmware AND card bios. This was surprisingly difficult to accomplish as the system had a UEFI BIOS, and on that the LSI logic firmware flasher wouldn't operate in MSDOS, I had to discover and utilize this bizarro-world known as the UEFI Shell to run the firmware flash utility. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
