Cannot run Windows on my Proliant ML310G2

I have problems running Windows after installation.
For 2kpro or XPpro, the intallation goes well. After the last reboot (date and network information), Windows shows a death blue screen (saying only "STOP 0x0") and reboots...
I ran checkdisk on that HD on antoher server --> no errors
Any idea?
PS: This proliant has a LSI Scsi card

Did you setup the bios on this unit to run windows ?

"Did you setup the bios on this unit to run windows ?"
- I didn't change anything in the BIOS. Could you tell me which particular setting I should look at?
Thanks

I see the setting you are talking about.
This setting is not modifiable in the ML310G2 bios...

get the lasted BIOS and SCSI firmware from the downloads area. LSI fw is verisn 5.xx.19 (you want the .19 - latest one)

Thanks for your Help
For the SCSI I only found v5.05.16 (BIOS Update v5.05.16 for HP Single Channel U320 SCSI HBA G2 )
maybe I am not looking at the right place?

Re: Cannot run Windows on my Proliant ML310G2

What does the blue screen say (first block of hex)? Is it a stop 0x0000007B? or 0x000000A5? Or something else? This will help to determine what's causing the current issue.
The truth is out there, but I forgot the URL..

Re: Cannot run Windows on my Proliant ML310G2

unfortunately I can't see the exact code as it is rebooting imediately and the LCD screen is not as reactive as a CRT one... I will try with a CRT one. Now I am trying to install 2000 server using smartstart and it is ok!
maybe 2000pro and XPpro are not supported...? or the scsi driver i used for installing Win2k (with the famous F6 key) is not the good one?
thanks

I most definately suggest you flash that when you can.

IIRC the Windows 2K Pro and server drivers are the same. Using the Smart Start CD is definately the way to go though.

Thanks to everybody! I managed to install XP. Actually the driver I used before was not the lastest one... I also flashed my LSI card. It is fine now
thanks again!
