[Unattended] ACPI problems
More a Windows XP question than an Unattended specific one, but I really am hoping someone has overcome this before 'cos I really am stuc. We've been using Acer notebooks for a while and they recently changed their range to include the ATi IGP9000 over the old intel 865M (or whatever it was) and they just won't accept my Unattended installation I've been using for months. I get to the installing drivers bit of the GUI mode installer and I'm BSODed with an 0xA5 ACPI NOT SUPPORTED error. Clearly it's got to be something to do with either the IGP or the updated Phoenix BIOS that supports it. I can perform a succesful install using regular media but I get an MPS Unprocessor HAL, which is useless on a laptop. Similarly, I can install through Unattended if I specify Standard PC in HardwareType in unattend.txt, but again, no ACPI kernel is no use on a laptop. If I just use Acers preloaded XP (a sysprep job) then I get an ACPI Uniprocessor PC HAL. The version of the hal.dll (and ntoskrnl.exe) are regular SP1 (5.1.2600.1106(xpsp1.020828-1920)), same as on my slipstreamed SP1 distribution share. I'm still guessing there's some kind of patching going on Acers build that I can't see. Does anybody have ANY advice for me? I'm at me wits end! Cheers, Kev PS. I tried using a slipstreamed SP2, sambe problem... Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Unattended] PXE Automated Network Installation
Hello,
I'm looking for help. Hope this is the right place to ask for it..
I wish to configure a server in the existing LAN so that I can install M$ and Debian
GNU/Linux OS's using a PXE able NIC.
what has already been done:
[*] installed tftpd-hpa on a machine running Debian GNU/Linux
[*] created /tftpboot (and linked it to /var/lib/tftpboot)
[*] added folowing lines in /etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/var/lib/tftpboot
(btw, can I use the -s flag here for /usr/sbin/tcpd??)
[*] populated the /tftpboot directory using the files from unattended-
4.4b/bootdisk/tftpboot/
Now I got stuck on the DHCP config. The DHCP server is another machine in the
LAN. The /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf looks like this:
allow booting;
allow bootp;
# Group the PXE bootable hosts together
group {
# PXE-specific configuration directives...
option dhcp-class-identifier PXEClient;
next-server pxe_boot_server_address;
# You need an entry like this for every host
# unless you're using dynamic addresses
host hostname {
hardware ethernet ethernet_address;
fixed-address hostname;
}
}
What should I understand by next-server?! Is it the same machine which runs the
tftpd (in this case includes also the /tftpboot directory)
What about the host entry?!?
I would like to install the OS' from any host connected to the LAN, not only from a
specific one..
Hope there is someone willing to help me..
Thank You in advance !!!

I had to include the modules dm raid1 (for mirror) additionally I set the kernel option PDC202xx_force I wonder if that last is necessary when you have the dm module? No matter, I have added it. I will be pleased if you can implement them in the new build. Done. Please try the 4.4c-pre2 test release at http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/. You should only need the linuxboot piece, but be sure to update Z:\linuxaux. (Because the binaries have changed and the new modules are under there.) Hm. I still need to know when to load these modules, exactly... To create and manage the array (a mirror here) I use mdadm, but raidtools will work as well. So do we need these on the boot disk? - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

RE: [Unattended] Using local SUS for Updates during Installation
I'm not using the win*-updates.bat at all. I configured my SUS by GPO, so the computer get's everything it needs as soon as I move it into the right OU. Otherwise, you might have a look at this little susutil tool: http://www.nextwish.org/geek.php?page=susutil BR, Kaari -Original Message- From: Markus Busche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 11:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Unattended] Using local SUS for Updates during Installation Hi, is it possible to use a local SUS instead of win*-updates.bat during the unattended Installation and to reset the Updateserver after installation to Microsofts SUS? If yes, how do I manage it? Thanks!
