People here seem pretty knowledgeable about this stuff, so here I go (input welcome!):
Got a bug to report with the new
7C84v141(Beta version) bios for
X570 Tomahawk Wifi.
At POST-checks, it lists my attached drives (2 SSD's, 2 HDD's - the M2 drives are not mentioned here anyway) twice. Once in a completely wrong port-drive combination, and after that it's correct.
BIOS and Windows see the drives as singular and attached, so I think it's a POST screen reporting error - but it *is* confusing.
Downgraded back to latest stable version (1.30, from last month), where I can confirm this problem does not occur.
The correct configuration for when I took this photograph is:
- Port 3: WDC WD20 (2 TB HDD)
- Port 4: WDC WD10 (1 TB HDD)
- Port 5: Samsung SSD
- Port 6: Crucial CT1000 SSD
But as you can see, the first listing is wrong.
It seems like the first detect is incorrect, and the routine "corrects" itself in the end, which is probably why it doesn't impact system functionality.
I've checked sata cables, even shuffled a few connections around, tried with fewer disks, but the result is always the same: every disk attached is listed twice. Sometimes wrongly at first, but then correct.
Edit: Someone else confirmed this happening
here.
