Yes, I reflashed one board to the latest blob I was able to find at that time. For the second board, I did not bothered. The info I am able to find right now in my outcoming mbox, is (this is for four-ports, was flashed, I believe) mfi0: 916 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 2.130.374-2023 mfi0: 917 (boot + 6s/0x0020/info) - Package version 20.10.1-0126 mfi0: 918 (boot + 6s/0x0020/info) - Board Revision 03A (and this is for eight-ports) mfi0: 326 (boot + 4s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 2.130.314-1585 mfi0: 327 (boot + 5s/0x0020/info) - Package version 20.10.1-0101 mfi0: 328 (boot + 5s/0x0020/info) - Board Revision 03B I am pretty much sure that the issue is either in the m/b compatibility or mfi(4) driver.
