Cross-Flashing BIOS: Intel915GAV to Asus P5GV-MX

[bigbeark]

I have an Asus P5GV-MX board which is based on the Intel 915GV chipset.

The Asus board will not recognize SCSI as a boot option, but the Intel 915GAV board I am writing this on, does.

Has anyone here cross-flashed Asus boards successfully.

I downloaded the Intel Bios and want to install it on the Asus board.

Any cautions, suggestions or other info welcome.

It won't work unless the hardware is absolutely identical.

This incudes details like the model of the clock generator and how the GPIOs are connected on the southbridge.

It may be easier to enable the option in the BIOS using a tool like MODBIN6 (Award BIOS only), or only change the boot module.

Not true, you could force flash it if you have the right software but I would not do it with a Intel bios and would make sure you had a backup bios chip to replace the one you are going to most likelly brick. Try flashing it with another ASUS bios that is really close to your board with the features enabled you want.

Better safe than sorry.
