I tried the latest 9.07r3 MassStorage DP and it works perfectly!
Thank you very much to the DriverPacks team.

Just tried building using WinXpSp3 and that driver in [P4]: it works fine too, like it did building with Win2k3.
I'm sorry I can't help with Win2k

Hi ef, I downloaded your driver and it seems to be compatible with all nt5 system (2k,xp, 2003). Have you tried the driver with other OS than 2003 ?

Hi, No I didn't yet because I need a W2k3 build to solve the other Ibm ServerRaid issue previously explained.
But I can test building using WinXpSp3: I will also replace the same driver in [P4] and report to you.
Thank you

If the driver I previously uploaded isn't trusted (I can understand that), you can download the Promise FastTrack S150 SX4 SATA RAID controller driver (W2k3) ver. 09/27/2004, 2.00.64.23 for Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy TX150 S3 (Fibrecat N20i) servers at
http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/linkappli … p;ID=23386
Select "Industry standard server" - "PRIMERGY" - "PRIMERGY TXxxx" - "PRIMERGY TX150 S3 SATA" - "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32 bit)" - "SATA RAID" - "Promise Technology FastTrak S150 SX4 SATA-RAID controller" - "Drivers (SW-Kit 5.02)"
You can read "Version 2.0 0064 23 Date: 16.05.2006", but after downloading the fastsx.inf file contains

DriverVer=09/27/2004, 2.00.64.23

as it should be.
Hope it helps to have it added to the MassStorage DP.

if you wish to use DriverPack MassStorage and a custom driver you will need to

In the mass storage INI is this section...
[P4]
ms_count=1
ms_1_deviceName="Promise FastTrak S150 SX4/SX4000 (WXP)"
ms_1_tag="fastsx"
ms_1_sysFile="fastsx.sys"
ms_1_hwids="fastsxPCI,PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_6621,PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_6622"
ms_1_isBusExtender=false
ms_1_exc_skipIfOS="w2k,w2k3"
change ms_1_tag="fastsx" to ms_1_tag="fastsxXP"

OR replace the driver in [P4] with the update

Hi,
as you suggested I replaced the 9.05r2 driver in [P4S] (I used w2k3 to build) with the update and it works fine.
Since your latest post, I can see in the nightlies repository that DpMasstoragePack was updated to 9.06 (n1, n1 and r1): is it expected an updated nightly including that Promise driver?
Thank you and sorry for be boring.

JakeLD normaly does the Mass Storage pack and is the most current team member on that pack...
When i have extra time i devote it to the base code (which i am way behind on).
I normally have a winter slow down and then have more free time to deal with this stuff then.
(I am slammed right now)

I know for example that JakeLD just got back from being out of town...
I also know once the dust settles in his personal life he will pick this up.
There are only 3 or 4 active (NT 5.x) Pack Team members.
So we are spread quite thin on manpower. (As always)

Thanks for reporting - It's very important to us!

Hi Overflow,
did you have a chance to add that driver to the MassStorage DP?
Thanks for your support.

It's better (and simpler) for me testing your updated MassStorage DP, when it will be available to download.
Thank you.

@cdob

While waiting for latest DP by Overflow, I tried adding the plugin you suggested with MassStorage plugin enabled, but it didn't help. Still errors Source fastsxk3 and nvgts, Event Ids 4, no disks detected. I didn't enable the PnpInterface plugin you wrote about on 2009-05-02 at 19:05:16. Was it required?
