Overflow, I didn't receive a personal email from you.. That's OK, I'd rather use the test packs and help solve it for everyone as you stated....

Jaak, I believe the Smart Array 431 does have a boot rom because once the computer and network card BIOSs finish initializing, the 431's BIOS initializes and searches for array drives. If that's what you mean by a BOOT ROM. I downloaded the latest firmware for the 431, but when I ran it the disk said the firmware was no newer than the version already installed (V 1.22). The Compaq Softpaq I downloaded for the 431 was SP19677.exe

I'd be more than happy to be a guinea pig... If you need anything tested or need info about the hardware, just ask me... I'm more than happy to help you guys out....

That sounds promising! Let me know if there's a test driverpack you would like me to test.... I'll try to test it under 2003 as well as XP.

Thanks again.....

That's wierd... So the 2000 and 2003 drivers are the same? I sent you a link in my other post to the 2003 driver... The CPXXXX.exe files actually have different numbers for 2000 and 2003 when you download them so I figured they would be somewhat different. 2000 CP005751.exe and 2003 is CP005760.exe.

Hi Jaak.... I think this is the driver for 2003 (cp005760.exe). Will the 2003 driver work with XP as well?

Jaak, I'm a bit confused.... I downloaded the driver from the following link in your other post. It says the driver was added to this test pack. Should I wait until you're done testing and make an official release????

Thanks for the link to the TEST driver pack.... I downloaded and slipstreamed the new TEST driverpack 7085 (note that I used a fresh PE that didn't have the older driverpack already slipstreamed).Unfortunatly my results are still the same..... It goes to the end of "Starting Bart PE..." then changes to "Please Wait..." and just sits there indefinitely.....

I upgraded the BIOS on the ML370 to the latest and also verified that the 431 is running the latest firmware (1.22). This is one stuborn server....

As a side note, I also tried using the text mode drivers Bart suggested using F6 in the following post (I pasted the txtsetup.oem file he had listed).
That didn't work either... http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/foru … 3+28353475

Is there anything I can do on my side to troubleshoot where and why it's failing? If these are the right drivers, why isn't it detecting the mass storage device...

I've got a working copy of Fedora 6 running on this box so I know the controller and drives work....

Thanks you,

Ernest....

Sorry for the duplicate post.... I actually found this thread with a google search and posted my reply..... When I did a search of the forums for some reason I couldn't find the thread I had replied to.... I thought maybe I had replied to a dead topic or something.... Sorry, my bad, that's why I posted a fresh thread....

Once again, sorry, my bad....

Hi everyone, I've got a Compaq ML370 with a Smart Array 431 controller. I am running Bart's PE with Pebuilder 3.1.10a, Windows XP slipstreamed to SP2.

With the kind help of others, I've successfully slipstreamed the text mode mass storage drivers from driverpack.net into Bart's PE. But even after this, I still can't get it to work with the SmartArray 431 controller. The white progress bar gets to the end and it changes from "Starting Bart PE..." to "Please Wait...." and sits there....

Before the driverpack.net drivers, I tried using the drivers from Robdvb, with the same results....

I'm a technical person, and I tell ya, this is driving me crazy! Especially after having a default build of Bart's PE work with a Proliant 1600 with a SmartArray 221 controller work with no problems..... ARgh!!!!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.... I did what you suggested and bart's PE built fine this time... Thanks so much.... For some reason, it still doesn't recognize the Smart Array 431 controller.....

I'll post further comments in the thread you mentioned.

Once again, thanks for your help... Even though I'm still having problems, you've put me further ahead by actually getting the driverpack to integrate with Bart's PE. I'll keep pluging away and post any results or extra info...

Thanks again,

Hi, I have an ML370 with a Smart Array 431 controller. I could not get Bart's PE or UBCD4W to work with the 431, so I decided to try the mass storage driverpack on this site with Bart's PE.

I slipstreamed my XP Pro SP2 with mass storage driver pack 7.07.2. When the white progress bar stating "Starting Bart PE..." gets close to half way, I get an error message stating "The file ATIIDE.sys could not be found".

I unziped the .7z mass storage file and did a search and the ATIIDE.SYS file is in there. Could there be a path problem in one of the config files that it's not finding?

I also verified that the archive tests fine with 7z.

I searched my slipstreamed WinXP directory and found the file exists in both the I386 directory as well as the $OEM$\$1\D\M\AT directory.

I tried buiding with both method 1 and method 2, with and without KTD... all the same results....

Any help is greatly appreciate.

Thanks,

Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem? I've built Bart's PE 3.1.10a, XP Pro SP2, slipstreamed with Mass Storage driver pack 7.07.2 and I get this exact error message.

Tried building with method 1 and 2, tried with and without KTD...

7z says archive tests OK, so there is no corruption in the archive itself.

Hardware is Compaq ML370 (P3 1.0Ghz) with Smart Array 431 controller.

I tried this driver pack in the hopes to get the mass storage driver that doesn't seem to work in UBCD4W.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated....
