I want to get a list together of all major issues with the z270 classified firmware issues that are currently outstanding. Here's the ones that I'm aware of, if you have any others please feel free to list them too, I'm sure I'm missing some. All of the issues in my list exist under firmware 1.02, the latest at the time of writing.
Hopefully this will give EVGA a quick reference to fixable things people are having issues with on this incredibly premium priced board.
• Marvell controller hotplugging cannot be disabled.
• Cannot set manual boot entries, doesn't respect manual boot entries added by other UEFI tools (like via an EFI shell, or efibootmgr on Linux), and only looks for the windows bootloader, only loading the default bootloader if the windows one is not available on any given drive.
• Will not Boot without an attached monitor. (no headless)
