Yes, the dl360s use the NetExtreme II . I was directed to
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php to get RIS/ADS
drivers but they didn't give much joy either.

We use the Broadcom drivers from the Broadcom site with BL465's and
385G2 which I think is the same Nic as the 360 G5's
We however are using a DOS boot disk and then doing a Widows unattended
build.
Using driver NetExtreme 10.03 and NetExtreme II 3.4.2 (we build all HP
servers using one of those two)
I think the G5 will be using the NetExtreme II driver.
We had to enter the Device ID's for each type of Card as well for DOS
and it's either 16AA or 164C for the 465's and 385 G2 which As I've said
I'm sure is the same card as the 360 G5

Apologies Jez, my original request was indeed useless information wise
unless you were sat having coffee with me this morning and knew what it
was
I was talking about, in which case its unlikely you'd know either,
because
you didn't then.
So, scratch that last one, I'll try again:
Has anyone been able to successfully boot an HP Proliant DL360 G5 to an
ADS/WDS build?
Every driver I try comes up with a RAMDISK error - in the event log on
the
ADS server says that the driver is incorrect.
So far I've used the 10.62 version, and the 10.42 Broadcom drivers. I've
also tried the Intel driver (9.12) and the NC multifunction driver
(v3.7.23). Server BIOS is at the most recent revision.
I'd seen an article that suggests using specific a Broadcom II driver
from
their web site, but I've had no joy with that either.
Tia.

You need to be specific about the model of the server - Compaq are now
defunct, and "G5" can apply to a number of different types of
hardware. Depending on the server model, you may well find the same
technology in servers that don't carry a "G5" label...
Check and double-check firmware and drivers. You need to be 100%
certain that you're usign the latest, as there has been the odd issue
with certain NIC drivers that have been fixed recently, and you may
have hit one of them.
