SYMPTOMS

After you apply Service Pack 2 for Windows NT 3.5 to your Compaq Proliant 1500 computer, it does not boot or you lose access to your SCSI devices.

If your Proliant 1500 has an integrated SCSI controller as its only SCSI host adapter, it fails to boot with the following error:
STOP: 0x0000007B
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

-or-

If you reconnect your boot disk to a secondary SCSI controller, you lose access to SCSI devices connected to the integrated controller.

CAUSE

The Proliant 1500 contains an Integrated SCSI-Fast/Wide controller. Windows NT detects the controller as an NCRC810. Service Pack 2 includes a new NCRC810.SYS driver. This driver does not load on the Proliant 1500.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.

The Compaq Proliant 1500 is manufactured by Compaq Computer Corp., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability
