Re: [Unattended] GA-E350N PXE Install WinXpSp3 and AHCI?
you need to download AMD Chipset Driver (include chipset \ sata raid \ VGA driver) from http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3681#dl extract this directory: /chipset-xp/Packages/Drivers/SBDrv/SB7xx/AHCI_svr/XP/ and copy under \\ntinstall\install\os\winxp\i386\$oem$\textmode Juanjo, Thank you! I do have these files in /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/drivers/D/M/AM already. It was part of the DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini Is there a way to make this work *without* copying them again to the ./textmode directory?

[Unattended] GA-E350N PXE Install WinXpSp3 and AHCI?
Hello, Installing WinXpSp3 using Gigabyte GA-E350N MB with AHCI option turned on in BIOS via PXE boot would fail with BSOD just before Windows start-up in Text Mode. That is just before copying files to the hard drive. Change AHCI to IDE in BIOS would solve the problem. I am using the latest driver pack version 12.09. Q. Anyone out there has the same problem and found a solution? Many thanks, Kwon -- How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.

Re: [Unattended] Downloading Drivers with config.pl Returns unmatch Hardware
Hi, Pierre, Thanks for your detailed reply. search-win-drivers.pl, that produces the file netinst/logs/drivers.log is a kind of hardware scanner (as shown in the drivers.log output file). Okay! I reinstalled unattended-4.9 on our samba server as follows: cd /usr/src/ unzip unattended-4.9.zip unzip unattended-4.9-linuxboot.zip cd /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/tools/ ./script-update ./prepare cd ../drives # Extract using 7zr all dp_*.7z files If I run search-win-drivers.pl on my samba server: cd /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin ./search-win-drivers.pl -d ../drivers I was successful in getting the following: # 16 distinct hardware devices to consider. # # loading INF strings from Windows drivers collection... # - path: /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers # Parse .INF files below folder /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers ... # - parsed 592 .INF files, added 17587 INF strings.

However, if I try to install using the pxe + linuxboot method, it fails to search for drivers and return 0 driver/folder to use: # Search matching drivers for current hardware platform... # 0 driver folders to use: I also copied ../os/winxpsp3/I386 and using a pristine OEM version of XP + SP3 (no nLite, RyanVM, etc.) with sample-config.pl copied to ../site/config.pl.
