Re: DL360 G4 Win 2003
If this is the case, I was having the same problem on some 360 G3 servers a while ago. It turned out that the mass storage drivers were not being installed correctly. I ended up taking the drivers (.SYS and .INF) from a smartstart 6.4 CD and later when I needed to support the G4 I replaced only the SYS files. Since the INF files that came with the PSP seemed to be the source of the problem.

Re: DL360 G4 Win 2003
Using txtsetup.oem for the text portion of setup and have added a line for OemPnpDriversPath. Its after the registring component and the first time the machine attempts to start to windows.
Using safe mode I can see the cpqcissm is loaded.

Re: DL360 G4 Win 2003
I have an unattended build for 2K3 which has been fine for G2/G3 etc... but now with G4 it has fallen to bits.
Problems so far...
1). Need to add extra lines to unattend.txt
UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes
DisableVirtualOemDevices=Yes
2). Need to update cpqcissm drivers during textmode phase and via Pnp drivers path, as 6i uses cissm driver, but at a higher rev than that supplied on 2k3 retail disk.
3). Even if you disable the 2nd NIC in the BIOS, 2k3 finds it, and then binds tcp/ip to NIC2 rather than NIC1, which causes problems for joining domains during build process. I tried disabling Hyperthreading to see if that causes problems, but it made no difference.
So, we have a BIOS that doesn't disable devices properly, way to go HP, progress indeed.
At the moment, I have given up, every time I fix one problem, another one appears with these G4 servers.

Re: DL360 G4 Win 2003
Are you using RDP or only SSSTK?
Have you problems only with drivers from SmartStart CD 7.10 or also with previous SmartStart versions?

Re: DL360 G4 Win 2003
To stop the problem with boot failure after initial file copying, you will need to work with the textmode part of unattend.txt
Mine looks like this...
[MassStorageDrivers]
"Smart Array 5300 Controller" = "OEM"
"Smart Array 5i, 532, 5312 Controllers" = "OEM"
"Smart Array 6i, 641, 642, 6400, 6400EM Controllers" = "OEM"
"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"
"Adaptec AIC-789X/AHA-3960 Ultra160 PCI SCSI Card" = "RETAIL"
"Adaptec Ultra320 Family SCSI Controller" = "RETAIL"
"Compaq Drive Array" = "RETAIL"
"Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controller" = "RETAIL"
"Compaq Smart Array Controller" = "RETAIL"
"Mylex DAC960/Digital SWXCR-Ex Raid Controller" = "RETAIL"
[OEMBootFiles]
cpqcissm.cat
cpqcissm.inf
cpqcissm.sys
txtsetup.oem
You will need to make sure the files referenced in [OEMBootFiles] are available in the $oem$\Textmode along with a suitably modified txtsetup.oem which I have attached.
This will also need all the usual OEMPreinstall stuff setup in unattend.txt as well
[Unattended]
Unattendmode=DefaultHide
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemPnPDriversPath=PnP\scsi\cpqcissm;PnP\net\intel;PnP\net\fast;Pnp\net\giga;Pnp\net\Nc67xx;PnP\net\NC31XX;Pnp\net\NC61XX;PnP\display
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
Filesystem=ConvertNTFS
ExtendOEMPartition=2048
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemSkipEula=Yes
UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes
DisableVirtualOemDevices=Yes
Win9xUpgrade=No
Emsskipunattendprocessing=yes
NtUpgrade=No
Even if you get this working, you will still run into a brick wall with the network cards if you want to join a domain as part of the unattended process.
Good Luck,
Richard
