GA-X58A-UD3R rev1 doesn't boot from usb!

[deadpunk]

Hi,

I have created a dos bootable flashdrive  and when i press F12 to boot from usb-hdd0. It stuck at "verifying dmi pool"....( the black screen after POST).
I tried the same flashdrive on another pc and it booted perfectly into DOS.

I have upgraded my bios from F5 to F6 and still same problem. I have Legacy Mass Storage Enable.

I would like to get know what i did wrong or if the board is faulty or have bugs...

Thanks for any help!

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte UK Forum.
 
You seem to have covered most things there but what about Legacy USB devices? Have you enabled that too?
Also how big is the drive you are trying to boot from?

The drive also must be inserted before powering up.

My flashdrive is a Kingston 2GB and yes for Legacy Mass Storage and of course it was inserted before powering on.
I will search for Leagacy Usd Devices, and post back in a few min.

I dont find legacy usb devices in integrated peripheral.

No it would appear that on your board there is no Legacy USB Device option but make sure the following are enabled:

USB Keyboard Function
Allows USB keyboard to be used in MS-DOS. (Default: Disabled) USB Mouse Function
Allows USB mouse to be used in MS-DOS. (Default: Disabled) USB Storage Function
Determines whether to detect USB storage devices, including USB flash drives and USB hard drives during the POST. (Default: Enabled)

If you are still having a problem I would suggest trying to clear the CMOS and then load Optimised BIOS Defaults plus any other alterations to your BIOS such as above and then save and exit.

Are you using the latest BIOS version?

I would suggest you to try another usb device. I personally had this problem and after trying several devices isolating 2 that don't boot on my GA-X58 but do on other boards, i started to think not all usb devices are compatible with GA-X58 boards.

Just imagine my 16GB PNY flashdrive doesn't even work with qflash, seem the board can't initialize it.

I think that you are quite right. The 58 chipset does seem to be a bit funny about which USB drives it works with or more to the point which it will recognise on booting. This is often a problem that appears when trying to use one to do a BIOS flash. It would appear that in those circumstances at least the smaller drives are usually better.

I had the same issue, would not properly install from a DVD drive, used a different drive and everything was fine. I could never get it to boot off USB flash drive, but I did not try different versions.
