Re: [Unattended] having some problems using v4.3

I tried adding these lines to my unattended file:

[OEMBootFiles]
TXTSETUP.OEM
MRAID2K.CAT
MRAID2K.SYS
OEMSETUP.INF
NODEV.INF
OEMSETUP.INF
But I then get this error once I choose what OS to install:
do z/site/install failed: Can't use string (See comments for
[MassStorageDrivers]) as ARRAY ref while string refs in use at
/z/lib/Unattend/IniFile.Pm line 197.
Ooops, that is bug. (And thank you for the thorough report.) Fixed
in next release.
Meanwhile, you can work around it by deleting this line from
Z:\dosbin\install.pl:
$u-comments ('OEMBootFiles') = 'See comments for [MassStorageDrivers]';
However, you should not need to add any lines to Z:\site\unattend.txt
at all. Just populate Z:\os\whatever\i386\$oem$\TEXTMODE with the
proper drivers and txtsetup.oem file. Unattended will parse
txtsetup.oem and offer to generate the [OEMBootFiles] and
[MassStorageDrivers] sections for you automatically.

[Unattended] Compaq/HP DL360/380 Gig interfaces
Title: Compaq/HP DL360/380 Gig interfaces I have two question/problems. 1. I am successfully able to run unattended using a dos floppy with an add on NIC (e10b). This is on a Compaq/HP DL360/380 G3. However when I try to do the same thing with the linux boot cd, it is unable to recognize the hard drive. I Get an error message that states: Found no hard drives (amiraid/ar0 ataraid/d0 cciss/c0d0 iz0/had ida/c0d0 rd/c0d0 had sda hdc) under /sys/block Your /sys/block contains ram0 ram 15. How can I get the linux boot up cd to recognize the hard drives? 2. When I use the dos boot disk on the same servers as above with the integrated gig NICs, I am able to get the DHCP address, but then the server hangs. It is not able to go any further. It displays the ip address and the MAC address and thats all. When I try to do the same thing with the linux boot disk, I am able to make the connection, I just cant see the hard drives. Why does the dos startup hang, but the linux startup work? This is using the Tigon chip, b57, choice for dos and that is what linux cd autodetect. Thanks for whatever help you are able to give.

RE: [Unattended] Compaq/HP DL360/380 Gig interfaces
Thanks for your quick response. I downloaded the 4.4-test files and burned a new linux boot disk. I copied over the linuxboot zip and extracted it to our Samba server. Booting from the 4.4-test cd, I was able to get an ip address, but when I tried to connect to the share, I was unable to. I received a: Unable to connect to share smbmount did not work mount.cifs did not work mount error: could not find target server TCP name not found rc=4 Booting from the 4.3 linux boot cd, I was able to connect to the share and received the same error as before. Here is the output from lspci -n | grep 'Class 01' 00:0f.1 Class 0101: 1166:0212 (rev93) 01:03.0 Class 0104: 0e11:b178 (rev01) 03:01.0 Class 0104: 0e11:b060 (rev02) Thanks Glen -Original Message- From: Patrick J.
