Re: HP Proliant ML150 W2k3 SAS driver setup
I have the same problem. That is what happens when you have a cheap server that does not support the SmartStart installation, but I do think that HP should provide an alternative or at least the information on what to do.
My understanding is that you have basically two choices: You can slipstream the Windows install (I have not done this) or you can use a program like nLite (free and downloadable) to create a new ISO file with the drivers you need integrated into the install. I am not sure how this will work with SBS2003 (my problem child), but I am going to try making a new disk 1 with the drivers installed.
By the way, a USB floppy will not work. It appears that as soon as the Windows install starts to load it looses the connection to the USB drive. I tried this and it does not work.
I will post again if nLite works for me and let you know.
There is a post concerning a ML110 and the same problem somewhere in the forum.
Frankly, this angers me to no end. Why isn't SmartStart supported on all Proliant servers?

Re: HP Proliant ML150 W2k3 SAS driver setup
I think HP decided to not include floppies on most of the newer servers to "save" on the cost of the server, but I'm not really sure it's working out that way.
Smart Start isn't supported due to the fact that customers who purchased the 100 series wanted low cost over a better or more manageable product.

Re: HP Proliant ML150 W2k3 SAS driver setup
Trying to load an incorrect driver from a USB Floppy will cause this problem.
If you have a ML150 G3, you will probably need driver file CP006301.EXE, which is for the LSI Logic controller. After downloading this driver file, expanding it and loading it onto a floppy, the installation read the disk as is proceeding properly.
This is a driver issue. If you need to, pull your controller, get the spare number off of the board and do a search for a driver for that part number.
Thanks to Andres at HP support for all his help.

Re: HP Proliant ML150 W2k3 SAS driver setup
I'm also stuck with same problem and tried with the cp006301.exe driver package but to no avail. I'm currently using a USB External Floppy drive (ver 1.1). I'm able to load the driver upon pressing F6 during Windows 2k3 installation, but soon after creating partition and setup continues copying files, it prompts for the driver again and this time the same driver doesn't load. Seems like it lost connection with the USB floppy drive and even the drive led doesn't light up.
Any clue? Pls help out how to install the SAS HBA driver/Win2k3.

Re: HP Proliant ML150 W2k3 SAS driver setup
FYI. I managed to get it installed using the nlite software. Built an ISO image then booted from the CD.
Nice tool. Helped a lot. www.nliteos.com
