That's it.  They also call it a monolithic driver.  I've been using it
successfully with ADS on DL360 G5's and DL580 G4's for about 9 months.

OOOoOOoo I don't know - I didn't spot that one

 

I saw all the other drivers but didn't notice the RIS one - I'll check.

 

Thanks.

Hello Andrew,

 

Are the ADS drivers similar to RIS or Windows PE drivers  ? (I use the HP
Rapid Deployment Pack myself so i am not 100% certain).

 

Have you been to the new ( awful - older compaq based one was far better )
HP driver site for the DL360 G5 ?

 

Half way down the page is a driver update for RIS / Windows PE

"HP NC-Series Multifunction Drivers for RIS/WinPE"

Hi, 

Has anyone been able to successfully  boot a Compaq G5 to an ADS/WDS build? 

Every driver I try comes up with a RAMDISK error - I've seen an article that
suggests using specific Broadcom II drivers but I've had no joy with that
either

Tia.
