I have three poweredge 860s that we are using for a distributed processor farm.  I don't need server os on these so I would like to use XP Pro.  I have slipstreamed the Raid drivers into the win xp installation and have gotten as far as the window setup gui.  But then the machine goes into spontaneous reboot with bluescreen.  I can't read the bluescreen to determine what is causing the issue.  I have looked for other drivers on the support site that I might need to slipstream in but nothing stands out.  I have the quad core processors in these (buying servers was cheaper than buying desktops and I needed to mount these in a rack anyway), could the quad core be the problem?

 

Does anyone else have any experience with this type of install?  I realize that XP is not supported on Dell servers, but I really don't want to spend almost 3 grand for server os. 

 

Thanks for any ideas or help that you can offer.

 

Update: I have slipstreamed the chipset, backplane and video drivers as well.  The machine still goes into spontaneous reboot.  Even in safe mode command prompt only.
