DL360G7 with P410i - Windows 2008 R2 - no HDD found

Hello @,

I want to install Windows 2008 R2 x64 on an HP DL360 G7 with a P410i controller

I tried two options:
1) Via Smartstart, configured array and LUNs, and when OS install starts he can't find an array. When I add a storage driver to the installation he can find it but cannot load it... end of install

2) Without smartstart but immediately via OS CD. When Windows starts he can find 2 disks (OK) but mentions that he can't install an OS on it... end of install.

And now, I'm stuck.

Bizar problem.
I've entered the Fimware maintenace CD 9.20 and it performed an unattended install. Don't know what it installed because I was out for lunch.

Afterwards I came back and saw that the OS was installing on the proper disks.

So, they OS files were copied during the smartstart setup and didn't proceed. After I entered the FW update CD it continued with the OS install.

I'm not going to reproduce the problem, running out of time. Anyhow I have no idea what went wrong.

This was a new system just out of the box with the latest SMartstart CD.
