[Unattended] Help
I'm trying to build a ibm x3550 M3 server and it appears the initrd image doesn't have the correct firmware for the newer nic. Is there anyone that can assist with this? Below is what happens.

Re: [Unattended] Help
I probably can't help I haven't touched unattended in about 5 years. It was great when I needed it but luckily I have escaped windows. If you can describe where in the process is the problem showing up I can try to help.

Re: [Unattended] Help
I get to where it boots up and choose the unattended loaded starts loading the devices then when it tries the network stuff it throws the errors at the bottom that I can't configure the nic. I was told by the syslinux folks that it appears it's the initrd appears to be outdated with the nic firmware/drivers it trys to load and errors out.

Re: [Unattended] Help
It hasn't gotten to the windows install piece and I have the drivers there. I also found a drivers folder in the install directory that I have added them to now and will give that a shot.

Ok, I have had problems like that. I think there is an OEM folder that needs the current network drivers. I think their is limit to the number of characters in the path to drivers so if the current one is there but not working you may need to shorten the path.
