windows 2003 on ml 350 g4p servers / 2cpu / 6gb ram / smartarray 641

we try to install windows 2003 server on these machines from the original ms-cd's.
we are not willing to use the smart start installation method. when the machine start's first time from the own hdd, a blue screen appears (after the windows 2003 logo) and the server reboots. the bios version is d19 (08.19.2005).

any ideas ?

Hello Hasko,

At what point does it Blue screen?

Can you post details of the blue screen?

Does it always blue screen and does it blue screen in the same spot?

Can you get into safe mode?

Personally I think this is a driver issue. When generic M/S drivers are loaded with HP hardware it can cause problems like this. It could also be a hardware issue.

Try running Server Diagnostics from the Smart Start CD. This will give you a better idea if it is a hardware issue or not.
