Always have to press F1 to continue

Just built a new DL360G2 using Smart Start 5.4. Used some drives from an old server. Using older versions of Smart Start the CD would boot and give the option of erasing the IESA partition on the old drives. If not erased first you will always have to press F1 to continue. The new version of Smart Start did not give me this option, it booted to the "language selection" portion and continued to build as if the drives where clean. I completely built the server waiting for the F1 prompt to go away. It has not.

I built a second identical server, however I this time I went into the ROM based array configuration tool and deleted all the partitions before continuing. This works and I have no problems with the second server.

Is there a way to stop the server from prompting for F1 without deleting the partitions and having to re-build the server? The ROM based array configuration utility only presents the partitions that were newly created, but the systems seems to think there?s a problem?

Thank-you

Update:
Flashed the ROM on one of the hard drives - fixed the problem...
