I have an Intel SE7230NH1-E motherboard that I’m attempting to install version 2.9.34 on. This board has one IDE port and 4 SATA ports. I know that native SATA isn’t supported until version 3 of RouterOS so I tried to install with an IDE drive. The installation goes just fine, but then it reboots and says “No bootable device”. I figured that maybe it was just confused, so I got a SATA drive and put it into legacy mode in the BIOS. The same thing happens - “No bootable device”. Does anyone have any advice for my situation? Thanks.
I had this problem before. Just disable the SATA Bus in BIOS and you should be okay.
I’ve tried just about everything I can think of. I disabled SATA in the BIOS and put in the IDE drive. I put the SATA drive in and re-enabled it and tried to install the 3.0 beta. I also tried the 3.0 beta on the IDE drive. It seems like nothing will get it to where it will boot from the hard drive. I’m at a loss here. I installed Debian just to make sure that I wasn’t doing something really dumb and it worked just fine. Anyone have experience with this board in particular or any other suggestions?
Maybe I should try a different board?? Seems like everything has SATA on it these days so I’m a little wary of that. Any suggestions?
either change the board or try v3 which supports SATA
I ended up changing the board out for a Supermicro board. It worked right away. The funny thing is that v3 didn’t work either. I think that the onboard IDE controller may have an issue.
