What else could I try? Any help appreciated.
Do you run Windows 2003 at Promise S150 SX4 machine?
Which driver does your running windows use?
Do you have a floppy drive?
Can you load drivers at F6 floppy?
However I wonder: is there another reason?
Do you use a busmater capable PCI slot?
The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2. Winver reports it as Windows Server 2003 Appliance Edition ver. 5.2 (build 3790.srv03_sp2_gdr.090319-1204: Service Pack 2).
Device Management:
- Promise 4 Disk RAID5 SCSI Disk Device
HWID SCSI\DISK&VEN_PROMISE&PROD_4_DISK_RAID5&REV_1.10\5&2DC0664C&0&000
Driver Microsoft 01/10/2002 ver. 5.2.3790.0
- Windows Promise FastTrak S150 SX4 (tm) Controller

Driver Promise Technology 27/09/2004 ver. 2.0.64.23
Regarding F6 at boot, I will test and let you know results.
For the Busmaster capable PCI slot, I don't know how to check: this is a link for the server datasheet, if useful:

Promise offers FastTrak S150 SX4 Windows Driver 2.00.0.25 6/15/2004
http://www.promise.com/support/download … amp;os=100
Driverpacks does use this drivers.
You use Driver Promise Technology 27/09/2004 ver. 2.0.64.23
That's strange. Let's investigate:
FSC does use a fastsx.sys ver. 2.0.64.23.
There are two different FastTrak S150 SX4:
Promise FastTrak S150 SX4 (tm) Controller X
Promise FastTrak S150 TX4 SATA RAID Controller (PDC20319)
http://download.ts.fujitsu.com/server/D … exFile.htm
Does FSC use a Promise OEM driver, not distributed by Promise?
Try FSC OEM Promise drivers:
Device Driver - PRIMERGY TX150 SATA
Title: PROMISE FASTTRAK S150 TX4 SOFTWAREKIT 3.10
Date: 09.12.2004
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ … 42D957337D
Device Driver - PRIMERGY TX150 SATA
Title: Driver (SWK 4.03)
Date: 10.04.2006
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ … D27D059654
Edited:
At second glance: TX4 HardwareID dosn't match SX4.
Most likely the driver fails.
@ef
Do you have a download URL for Driver Promise Technology 27/09/2004 ver. 2.0.64.23 ?

No, but I have found those drivers in the FSC ServerStart first disk. If you have an email address for sending them to you let me know.
won't do him any good - he doesn't have the hardware 
use the 3rd party DriverPack FTP if you like or rapid share or whatever...
A link to the file on OEM's site would be the best 
Is it the same version he is pointing too?
This is the download link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/232790186/SataSX4.zip.html
And yes, it is the Promise FastTrak S150 SX4 Windows driver - Date 27/09/2004 - Ver. 2.0.64.23. It's the same I have installed on my box and it's copied from the FSC SmartStart disk.
Update: that driver is OK when loaded from a floppy disk using F6 when booting UBCD4WIN. From the SataSX4\32x folder I copied to floppy
- fastsx
- fastsx.cat
- fastsx.inf
- fastsx.inf
Then I added to floppy the SataSX4\ORG.TXTSETUP.32x file renamed to TXTSETUP.OEM.
It works fine: Device management shows Promise 4 Disk RAID5 SCSI Disk Device (although an unknown RAID controller with the Promise HWID is still listed), Disk Management shows logical volumes and I can browse disks content.
Previously I tried building the boot disk after adding the 4 fastsx files to the drivers\SCSIAdapter\Promise\fastsx folder of my UBCD4WIN install root (disabling the MassStorage plugin), but it didn't detected disks, probably because I forgot adding also the txtsetup.oem file. This is my next test I will try.

That's nice, RAID is available.
Ignore the device manager, mass storage drivers are loaded at textmode.
I'm convinced now: only the updated OEM fastsx.sys support your hardware.
The current Promise distributed driver dosn't support your hardware.
probably because I forgot adding also the txtsetup.oem file
Yes, the txtsetup.oem is required in that case.
So what's next step: is it expected an updated MassStorage DP?
Or is there a working way to both enable MassStorage plug-in and add myself this driver in the "Drivers" folder before building the boot disk?
So what's next step: is it expected an updated MassStorage DP?
Well, next step, next question: Is the FSC OEM driver compatible with old Promise driver?
Does anybody use a Promise S150 SX4 and Promise drivers 05/20/2004, 2.00.00.25?
Can you try a FSC OEM fastsx.sys ver. 2.0.64.23? Do you get access to hard disk still?
Or is there a working way to both enable MassStorage plug-in and add myself this driver in the "Drivers" folder before building the boot disk?
In the meantime let's assume driver is compatible.
Create a file UBCD4Win\plugin\Drivers\FSC_FastTrakS150SX4\FSC_FastTrakS150SX4.inf
;PE Builder v3 plug-in INF file
[Version]
Signature= "$Windows NT$"
[PEBuilder]
Name="Driver: FSC FastTrak S150 SX4 - Bâshrat the Sneaky MassStorage addon"
Enable=1

files\FASTSX.SY_=4,FASTSXK3.SY_,3 ;v2.0.64.23Copy a cab compressed file fastsx.sy_ to UBCD4Win\plugin\Drivers\FSC_FastTrakS150SX4\files\
yes we will make sure the driver is added to DriverPack MassStorage...
I assume you will be willing to test a nightly for us?
Thanks for reporting your issue - it makes DriverPacks better for everyone!

Sure, let me know when it's ready to test.

Thank you all guys for your efforts, it's the minimum I can do for helping 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?
i belive it is createing a conflict with the drivers with the same name in the pack...
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
It's better (and simpler) for me testing your updated MassStorage DP, when it will be available to download.
Thank you.

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

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,
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.
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, 2.00.64.23as it should be.
Hope it helps to have it added to the MassStorage DP.

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
Edoardo
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
Edoardo
Thx for your input Ef, it's really appreciated.
I tried the latest 9.07r3 MassStorage DP and it works perfectly!
Thank you very much to the DriverPacks team.
Edoardo
no problem ef, thanks to you for reporting the issue, I will close the topic now.
