Boot from RAID 0 with Areca 1210

As a temporary fix you could try setting processor affinity to fewer cores. Obviously this is not ideal and would slow the transcoding down but it may allow your CPUs to run cooler.

Start Task Manager/Processes. Right click on the tempgenc process, choose set affinity, and check/uncheck the cores.

Thanks for the suggestion as its like having a Bugatti Veyron with a W12 engine and crippled 6 cylinder to have it run at W6. I can achieve what you suggest using parallel which has the limitation to support up to 8 core and 8GB of ram.

as its not nice to hijack someone thread as this is out of the topic as well.

To get it to 1.49 properly, you have to Flash all the parts (you can skip boot, but if you're not sure, do all the parts). Then flash with the EFI portion (replaces boot.bin). The order is critical to success, so don't deviate.

That takes care of the Flashing.

That said, the volume is avialable to the system (could still be running 1.48, so check via ARCHTTP to see what it's running; not sure you verified the revision or not).

But you're not done in terms of getting it to boot OS X.

1. Set the volume on the card as the boot location.
2. Clone OS X from the disk it's currently on (OEM HDD, whatever) to the volume (you cannot make a clean installation directly to the volume, as there's no access to the system's firmware to set it as the boot location). CarbonCopy Cloner (CCC) or SuperDuper will be needed for this.
3. Shut down, wait 10 - 15 seconds, then reboot.

Followed the advice on a Areca 1880i and ended up with a few problems. Started a thread if you'd care to have a look and help out here.
