I have a X9DA7. The built-in UEFI with this bios does not scroll the screen.
At boot, pressing F11, picking built-in UEFI as the boot option, the device mappings will scroll the cursor off the bottom of the screen. Type cls - cursor returns to the top of the screen but the screen does not clear (all device mappings still show).
This issue arises any time the initial map command returns enough data to scroll off the bottom of the screen. Page up and page down sort of work. If you do a cls followed by pageup/pagedown then you can get back to a clear screen. The problem is commands will continue to scroll off the bottom and then you can’t see what they are returning.
One clear case with this is problematic is if you are flashing the firmware on the x9DA7 on board LSI 2308. controller – the final command in the SMC2308IR.nsh script is:
“sas2flash.efi –o –sasaddhi 5003048
if this is scrolled off the bottom of the page, then you won’t know you are being prompted to input the low address and then you end up with a controller without a SAS address (page up and page down don’t work because the UEFI shell isn’t in control).
Please update to the latest BIOS for this board to fix this bug.
