HP DL 100 (NAS) System Hang!

[Carlos Filipe Rodrigues]

Hi to all!

I have 17 DL100 and I won’t install Windows 2008 STD.

After install the Windows, and after the first reboot, the machine reboot's without any screen message error and when reboot is not boot Windows and display the following message:

Fail to boot from all devices.
System Hang!

Is not a hardware problem because if I install the OS by default on this machines (Windows 2003 Storage Server) this problem does not occur.

Hi does it freeze on a particular file?. Try using F8 after post so it will give you advanced boot options for windows. then use "last known good configuration"

let me know if this works.

cheers

Also please check if this is a supported operating system on a dl100.

Hi PureHeartedSoul,

> Hi does it freeze on a particular file?.
No, simply reboot, even in the login screen.

> Try using F8 after post so it will give you advanced boot options for windows...

No F8 options, after passing the HP Ultra3 SCSI drivers detection the System Hang message appears.


> Also please check if this is a supported operating system on a dl100.

Before I had already installed the Windows 2003 STD and does the same.

I wonder if anybody got a resolution to this.

I've got a DL100 and cannot perform a Storage Server 2003 recovery from disk as the NAS won't pick up any of my external DVD drives (we've got 7 different types)

I've tried Windows 2003 Standard Edition and 2008 Standard Edition.  Both of these OS's reboot randomly once the network cards are installed and then give the System Hang! error.
