BL460c G6 WDS Build Issues
I'm perfectly happy to accept that this is a driver issue, however I have tried every driver I can find with always the same result.
Has anyone else ever had these issues?
Cheers
Ben

"and sometimes its done 5mb, other times 100mb, it never the same. But it never finishes. "

it was a memory issue. Try to test it with something like memtest.

Re: BL460c G6 WDS Build Issues
Further to what I put in the first post, during the winpe session if you set up a continuous ping to either the WDS server, or even the local gateway, then at the point when the files stop copying the pings fail. I've installed wireshark on the wds server and can clearly see the point it fails as it sends 3 re-transmits after failing to receive an ACK, then gives up. From that point on you have no network connectivity until you reboot.
I'm pulling my hair out with this one. The G5's build perfectly, and I've never seen anything like this before. I've totally stripped the WinPE drivers back to be only the NIC and the SATA drivers and it still fails.
Anyone else seen this?

Re: BL460c G6 WDS Build Issues
I have tried disabling the 2nd NIC in the BIOS, but this doesn├в t help, as I think the way the blades work the 2nd NIC isn├в t truly disabled. You can├в t disable the primary NIC either without both NIC's not working. So that whole train of thought didn├в t work.
What I have found out though is that the x64 windows 2008 drivers work perfectly, for 64bit installs, including for building 2003 x64 machines. We don├в t have 32bit in our environment here, but I'm guessing the same would be true for the 2008 x86 drivers. So all I do is boot using the customised .wim image using the 2008 drivers, but then select to install 2003 (we use WDS / Deployment Toolkit)
I called HP regards this and according to them the WinPE drivers are supplied as is, with no support for them. So unless they update them soon I'm sticking with the 2008 drivers!
