Re: [Unattended] Help
I don't know about the rest of you, but I set up an (almost) 8GB fat partition for my unattended XP installation - I copy a bunch of drivers to the soon-to-be C: drive. I also have all of my distro's upgraded (read: slip-streamed) to SP2 (Service Pack 2 of XP) and during the setup SP3 is added. I do not / did not slip-stream SP3 into the distro's because I understood that this was / is not a good idea. What I do works for me and may not work for you. I (pretty much) get the operation started and walk away until it is done. I have even managed to edit my unattend.txt file to auto-load / install applications during the operation. Good luck, folks From: b...@cogs.com Date: Wed, 2 May 2012 10:39:21 -0400 To: unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Unattended] Help On May 2, 2012, at 9:33 AM, Brandon Aho wrote:SP3 is part of the main OS source.

If I am remebering right, the early stage of the installation is using a FAT16 file system, which is limited to 2 GB. I think you have to make sure that the operating system files, including any driver in the $OEM$ directory does not exceed 2 GB. /Ludde On 2012-05-01 16:42, Ben Greenfield wrote: I remember that issue but haven't been involved in a long time.

I setup my partition to be fat32 and it has about 300 gigs of free space on the c drive. How can I change the z:\ drive to be a larger drive size?

Re: [Unattended] Help need with text mode driver ATI SB700/SB800
I ran into the same problem some time ago, and got it working quickly enough. As I recall, the problem is in the [Disks] section. Windows does not like looking in subdirectories for textmode drivers. Go figure. Attached my own TXTSETUP.OEM file. Note that I don't use 64-bit Windows, so I manually stripped all references to the 64-bit drivers, and deleted the relevant files. In my case, I have the following files: ahcix86.cat, ahcix86.inf, ahcix86.sys ... just sitting in the i386\$oem$\textmode\ directory, alongside TXTSETUP.OEM. And [Disks] simply points to ahcix86.sys in the root [textmode] directory. If you need the 64-bit driver, you should probably drop it into amd64\$oem$\textmode\ ;) Also note that I deploy to machines that require the Intel AHCI/RAID textmode drivers as well, and they are in the same TXTSETUP.OEM file, just using disk1 and disk2. The driver files also share the textmode directory. I've stripped all of the information from the attached TXTSETUP.OEM file, just to keep it concise. But it's definitely possible to include as many textmode drivers as needed. Well, within reason, I guess. I'm not about to comment on the scalability of the Windows textmode installation... :P On 12/15/2010 08:41 AM, tovis wrote: Dear list!

It's again complain that it could not copy ahcix86.inf file - as a prompt idea, I have pull the floppy and copy the \x86 folder and drivers - wow, it's found drivers and proceed with installation. I have tried the cleaned (no $OEM$ folder at all) XP sp3 install using unattended with prepared driver floppy. It couldn't copy the driver from floppy which is worked some minutes ago with original install disk (it's not really original because of the slipstreamed sp3). Next I have retry install from CD - for sure - it's working as before, the disk is good for sure. txtsetup.oem does not contain anything points to other folder. Is it possible that from point of copy it lookup inf file? What is going on. Any more ideas? May be strip all unneeded vendor/device pci IDs? Sincerely tovis I ran into the same problem some time ago, and got it working quickly enough. As I recall, the problem is in the [Disks] section. Windows does not like looking in subdirectories for textmode drivers. Go figure. Attached my own TXTSETUP.OEM file. Note that I don't use 64-bit Windows, so I manually stripped all references to the 64-bit drivers, and deleted the relevant files. In my case, I have the following files: ahcix86.cat, ahcix86.inf, ahcix86.sys ... just sitting in the i386\$oem$\textmode\ directory, alongside TXTSETUP.OEM. And [Disks] simply points to ahcix86.sys in the root [textmode] directory. If you need the 64-bit driver, you should probably drop it into amd64\$oem$\textmode\ ;) Also note that I deploy to machines that require the Intel AHCI/RAID textmode drivers as well, and they are in the same TXTSETUP.OEM file, just using disk1 and disk2. The driver files also share the textmode directory. I've stripped all of the information from the attached TXTSETUP.OEM file, just to keep it concise. But it's definitely possible to include as many textmode drivers as needed. Well, within reason, I guess. I'm not about to comment on the scalability of the Windows textmode installation... :P On 12/15/2010 08:41 AM, tovis wrote: Dear list!

problem with dosbootdisk, was Re: [Unattended] Help with Windows 2003 Nothing But Net Install
Hi, I have a similiar situation: Laptop IBM Thinkpad 600X with PCMCIA-Card 3C575. PCMCIA is not supported in the linuxboot, therefore I use the dosbootdisk. There is a bootdisk for 3C575 which works well and copies the necessary files to the laptop (in my case for Windows 2000 professinal with SP4 slipstreamed). I get the same error message and a detailed look at the disk after installation shows that the filesystem is trashed: there is a directory found.000 with a lot of files and some filenames in directory i386 have corrupted names. And thus windows-setup is complaining missing files. I tried using w2000-prof original without service-pack but this changes only the missing files: setup starts but there are a lot of files which setup does not find. Next suspect was the line in autoexec.bat with smartdrv. This is used whithout any switches due to a problem with Windows-XP but I don't like the write behind cache in MS-DOS. So I changed this line in autoexec.bat and built a new bootdisk (actually I used function key F8 and single stepped through autoexec.bat without changing anything and skipping smartdrv and doit.bat). This seemed to resolve the problem: I can now install the laptop with unattended without problems. Regards Stefan Kell On Thu, 22 Dec 2005, Mailinglists Address wrote: I am having difficulty installing Windows 2003 Server (standard) using a Nothing But Net install method. Let me start off by saying that I am not doing a standard install of Unattended as I already have an existing infrastructure for PXE booting other operating systems (various distros of linux, freebsd, and some diagnostic utilities). Here is how I have my setup configured. If this is incorrect, or isn't proper according to the way Unattended expects it to work, please let me know what I am missing. I boot via PXE to a pxelinux boot menu where I select the bootdisk image based on the manufacturer of the board (via, sis, etc). So in this instance I load the fetnd image for the via rhine network card. The system boots, loads the network, configures the unattend.txt file, etc and proceeds to install the OS (Windows 2003 Standard w/ slipstreamed SP1) to the drive. Additionally it should be noted that I have also slipstreamed the via SATA drivers into the installation to get windows to boot. (I have added a TEXTMODE dir under i386/$oem$/ and placed the driver, .inf file, cat file and txtsetup.oem file in that dir.) The installation continues on and installs the files onto the hard drive via the network, and then I am prompted to reboot. I reboot the computer and this time select the Local option from my boot menu which boots from the local hard drive. The windows installation continues and does a modification to the hard drive and prompts me to reboot. I reboot once again and select the local option and windows setup starts again. Windows setup then goes into protect mode and I am given the following error screen: Setup cannot access the CD containing the Windows installation files. To retry, press ENTER. If you are not successful after several tries, quit Setup. Then, to restart Setup, copy the Windows installation files to your hard disk. To quit Setup, press F3. Repeated attempts to continue fail and I have to press F3 and the computer reboots. I have tried copying over the installation directory to the hard disk and running it from there, but because the drivers are slipstreamed, I have been unable to get this method to boot (BSOD). Am I missing a step where the floppy images are loaded, and the drive is mapped and then the second stage of windows install begins? That is the only thing I can come up with as of right now... I am missing some step that is specific to the way Unattended is intended to function. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance.

RE: [Unattended] help with new linux boot cd image
Title: Re: [Unattended] help with new linux boot cd image I followed the following thread from the gentoo forums. (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-244837-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-livecd.html) I went with gentoo because I am the most familiar with it as a distro. After you get it all setup it is easy to add new ethernet card drivers. The best part is the hardware detection, I just compile in every ethernet card as a module and the detection script figures out what module is needed and loads it at boot. I did end up stripping the ethernet stuff out of master.pl. Since unattended is open source you can customize it to your environment easily. -- Chris Liles Air2Web IT Intern -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donofrio, Lewis Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Unattended] help with new linux boot cd image Or just use another livecd based distro - say www.pclinuxos.org - adjust what you want - trim what you do not need and then 'roll-your-own-distro' (they make it very simplistic.) __ Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: (734) 323-8776 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wed Sep 14 15:34:25 2005 Subject: Re: [Unattended] help with new linux boot cd image Or you could make your own livecd with perl, smbmount, dosemu, and mysql.

Re: [Unattended] Help with unattended
Chad Anderson schrieb: Hello, I am new to unattended and admire what you have done, I just need help in getting past one little problem. I can't seem to get past the point where the OS boots, after the OS files are copied. I am using the LINUX boot CD, from 4.6. I have my share all set up with win2k and winxp, and a few applications. When using win2k, I get through mounting the share, partitioning the drive, formatting the drive, choosing the OS, putting the product key etc., the OS files are copied over to the drive and the OS install goes through and then the computer reboots, to do the next step in the OS install, and now I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing. Hi Chad, in the BIOS, set the boot sequence 1. CD rom drive 2. first HDD this should work. When the file copy phase has begun, put the CD off your CD drive and leave it off. When the computer reboots, your CD drive *must be empty*, otherwise you're stuck in a continues loop as you mentioned. In fact, the Linux boot CD will show a message if running from CD you may eject it now... (or something similar like this) some time before the selection of application packages. I suppose you just haven't seen this... HTH Gerhard --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
