HP Proliant DL140 G3 - Unknown Devices

[KarloChacon]

weird a few ago I updated a BIOS using a USB key no problems it did it great

what about CD?

regards

[C.Garside]

I was thinking about doing that before I revert to Adric's method of reinstall OS with Raid off, install manually drivers for raid, then anable the raid and rebuild etc and see what happends.

I will give the cd one a go before I do that thoug, I just want to give this link to adric so he can physically the dylema I have had now for 4 days :( Man HP should have built an internal floppy in their DL140's :(

Oh well save smoney I guess for them at least anyway, We have to go buy over prices FDD's from them rofl.

Update you soon carlo.

Adric im installing logmein now and you will get an email with the link.##

Thank You

I just got your mail. I'll await your email with details. But I've got a pretty good idea of what's happening. So much so for trying. :-(

IMHO the cost of a USB drive can't be more than the frustration & time lost in trying to set the server up without it. :-)

Hey M8,

https://secure.logmein.com/g?pmi7kfnxvib96614798w54tetn40g95k7mmea25y

Valid for 4 hours. Thsi will log you into my server.


Also yes I would in a heartbeat buy the floppy however HP do not accept Solo Cards. And I would rather have this issue sorted tonight hense im up at 6am without any sleep yet.

Thank you.

Hello Carl,
Device Manager will show a "Â Â Yellow Bang" on "Â Â Unknown device" or "Â Â SM Bus Controller". Issue persists even after installing all appropriate drivers(including chipset drivers);
Itâ  s an KNOWN issue, specially with ML150 G3; & occasionally with DL320/DL380 servers & very Rarely in Blade servers.
HP IPMI Controller Driver Needs to be installed in such scenarios, as per advisory:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00751525

NB: Please restrain from installing AHCI drivers directly from Intel websites; Server WILL Crash !

The Driver Mentioned in the Advisory is STRICTLY for ML150 servers. For other servers with same issue, Install the drivers from:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26986.html

Regards.

Something wrong with the post... its just " instead of those special characters.

[James ~ Happy Dude]

Sorry for the repeated posts Carl, If everything is ALL SET & just the 4 unknown devices remain, IPMI controller driver "SHOULD" fix it.

Regards.
