Akif,

W2K3 SP2 fixes this issue, try to get you a install media with SP2 embedded or use the workarounds explained in the w2k3 smart setup guide (this is on the SmartSetup cd).
See page 53, i can't upload it as it's over 5 Mbytes in size.
Attached is a cut and paste to fix the issue, sorry for the bad formatting.

You need to go to SP2 anyhow, SP1 is out of support since a while.

Hi Kris,

RAID 5 (3Disk)
Windows 2003/sp1
HP rx6600

The Server startup with smart setup media
# Then asked to insert "offline diagnostics"
# Then inserted Windows 2003 SP1 which is supplied with the server.
#The message is "If RAID is configured need to configure CARD ** Iam unable to understand this how to configure CARD where as i only found ADAPTER, 3Disk RAID5.

# If wk3 installation required NOVESEA should be install from smart setup media , as DOCS msutil avaialable under smart setup media which i did not find.

Then proceed for Win2k3 SP1 installation.

After looking for all drivers "display is in blue screen now "

#At last step 'WINDOWS STARTING' now got hang up and display disappear.

Failed to install

reboot the server again to see a display .

I appreciate your valuable input ......
