The only way it would ever come up at all was to ensure that the disk and controller did command startup sequencing. On a cold boot it takes the HP about 50 seconds to get its ack together. With sequencing the controller waits for it, without sequencing one or two reboots are always necessary. This may be irrelevant in your situations, but if you have not tried, it may help.
