I cannot install windows nt server r4.0 onto a netfinity 5600 server. I begin installation - press f6 when necessary and attempt to install the driver for the serveraid 4l adapter, but cannot find the correct driver. I have scoured the IBM site and even driverguide, but cannot find a driver that will allow the system to see the drives. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug that others have run into? Am I missing something? Any suggestions or help on this one?
I also am looking for the latest version of serverguide for this server(6.1.3) to see if this will help things. If someone could place it on an FTP site somewhere. Help, I am ready to drop this box off the seventh floor.
 
How did you create your drive array?

If you have a serveraid manager CD look in the books folder for the devdrv.pdf doc which will provided instructions on how to create the device driver.

You can get the lastest drivers here.

I used serveraid 5.0.5 to create the array and logical disk.
I also used serverguide to initiate the install of windows NT. I get to the point that I can press F6 and specify the mass storage controllers. I install both the 7800 series family driver and the serveraid 4l driver. As the installation continues, I am prompted once again to specify the mass storage devices. It accepts the 7800 series family scsi driver, but when I attempt to install the serveraid 4l driver again, it says that the device does not exist. At this point all I can do is continue and I immediately receive the message that there were no hard disks found.

The end of the install.....
 
goodyrman, i also need 6.1.3 for use with an x342, have spoken to 2 rockstar techs in atlanta this evening and they tell me it is NLA---did you ever find an .iso of it or can i possibly get a copy from you?
