Lately i noticed the SUSE 9.0 SP3 bootable disk has got the drivers. will go to site on Friday and confirm back the installation. Thank you very much for your help!

I checked these at screen 3 and 4. --- USB disks turn up as mass storage devices unlike floppy - did you create a partition on the USB disk before copying the drivers on it ? How did you prepare the USB disk ? I hope you didnt format the USB disk in NTFS or VFAT. Though I would have to comment that I think it is very unusual for a distro to be intelligent enough to handle a USB disk but foolish enough to ask for a partition on it and also foolish enough not to realize that the whole disk is a single partition.

HP USB key utility (1.1) allows floppy image or Smart start CD to a USB key only, not on CD.

[ilugd] HP Smart array P400 (SAS)
Hello All I came across a two HP DL580 G4 boxes with a smart array P400 controller (SAS) card. This array card does't get automagically detected with SUSE 9.0 during the installation. I have also found the driver diskette image for that controller on hp website and made a diskette as per their recommendations (rawrite etc.) The problem is there is no internal floppy drive, knowing there are two USB ports, when i put the USB floppy drive it shows me as a mass storage device (/dev/sda) and try to read floppy. when the installation program (linux updates disk or media) try to read usb floppy it shows me unknown partition table no matter i changed/made many floppies with same image, but problem still remain the same. I am sure i am not the first in this planet who came across with this problem. what i want to know is How one can provide the driver from USB floppy? HP has told me a utility called HP USB Key utility which can put a floppy image/smart array CD to a USB fob that also did't worked. Could anyone suggest something else?
