Netfinity 5600 8664-71Y Can't get it to boot to my server 2k8 CD.
Alright, so I have used serveRAID 5.1 to set up my server. I get through with the configuration and it has a problem with 2 of the Seagate Drives I am using, both of which are 40g whereas the IBM HDDs are 20g. All it is saying is that it isn't an IBM drive. It shouldn't effect it. Then I also am getting an error saying that the Controller 1 version mismatch. This sucks because I have 6.10 on flash and BIOS but my drivers say 5.1. I can't find any software that will allow this to boot right. Can someone help me here???

I downloaded the most recent version of ServeRAID 9.0 And I can't get it to boot into the program. So far the latest I can get it to boot into is 6.1. And it still won't boot from my server 2k8 cd
Server 2k8 is not a CD, it's a DVD.. That sould be part of the problem. That server is so old I don't think it has a DVD drive in it, does it?

Wow, I feel kinda dumb. I can try to find an external DVD player. Or do you think I can split the DVD up onto multiple CDs?
