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.
