dejanh, just wanted to say that our current AHCI ROM version is 1.06, which is ancient. The latest one seems to be 1.20_E.0027 03232010 which can be found here:

Note that this was extracted from an ACER BIOS and will most likely need a device ID change to work with our boards. Realtek also released a brand new PXE ROM (2.39) a couple of days ago. Not that we would ever use that

Yeah, updating the ACHI ROM would be awesome.
At least until EVGA gets around to update both that and RAID ROM (hopefully, soon?)
Do you know anything about Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PXE ROM (from E762)? Such as where we can find an updated version of it.

 
The thing is, the AHCI you posted is an Intel ROM, where as this board uses Phoenix AHCI ROM.  I have not found a newer version of the Phoenix AHCI ROM.  As far as the Realtek PXE goes that only updates the PXE option of the LAN adapter, i.e., the module that allows you to boot from LAN.  The new version conflicts in addressing with the JMicron controller on the X58 boards and possibly some others on those that do not sure JMicron so I cannot reliably integrate it into the updated BIOS without remapping the addressing, something I cannot do personally.  As far as I see PXE is pretty useless, and just the sheer fact that it seems to conflict makes me have no desire to integrate it.  Never looked for a newer Marvell Yukon PXE ROM and since I don't have a board to test it I would be weary of deploying anything to people that I have not had any chance to verify.

Found some info.

The "PNP/PCI compliant BIOS not installed!" error is basically saying the OROM is invalid, 'cause only the first 64Kb of code are being loaded into memory.

We need to find and analyze the code responsible for loading the OROMs.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to do that, but I know that Gigabyte should have fixed that limitation when the RAID OROM was updated to a larger one.

It seems that only Phoenix-Award BIOSes are affected.

Also, Crosshair IV Formula has updated Marvell Yukon PXE ROMs.  I am not sure what other boards Use Marvell Yukon 88E8057 NICs, though...
Some other versions here, but they appear to be older.
Might have a device ID mismatch issue. CHIVF has 88E8059... The second link has OROMs for other Yukons, too. 88E8057 has 11AB-4380 Device ID.
 
Can we just please have some official confirmation that EVGA will update all this stuff by themselves so we don't have to brick our boards by doing questionable BIOS modifications with parts ripped out of other boards?

Double post

When is the new BIOS coming out for the i7-990X?

Okay thanks. By the way I looked at your rig; nicely done, I gave it a +1.

A few things to check to get your firewire working:
 
Did your voltages for the IOH or ICH (Northbridge or southbridge) change when you updated to the new BIOS?  Compare your voltages.
 
Check to make sure the firewire controller is enabled in the BIOS, it shoud be listed under Integrated Peripherals - > Onboard Device -> TI 1394.
 
In Windows, check device manager for a "IEEE 1394 Bus host controller"
and see if there are any problems reported there.  If it's showing an exclamation point or something, try this procedure to load the recommended driver:
Right click on the firewire host controller entry in the device manager and choose Update Driver Software
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Select 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy)
