Hi,
I've had no problem booting using the boot disk from unattended-gui 0.5.1 on
a dell d630 (I'm using PXE however)
Hope this is somewhat helpful as to what does work on a d630.
As for installing Xp on a d630 - I had all sorts of issues with the SATA
operation in the bios set to ATA or UHCI.
I could only boot linux in UHCI mode - and only install XP in ATA mode.
The solution was to use UHCI and to use driver packs from
http://driverpacks.net/ and slipstream the mass storage drivers using the
text mode option.
Unfortunately I still can't get an unattended installation to successfully
work with the bluetooth 360 module or the display drivers ..
Regards
Paul Kelly
