A couple of bugs:

First, some of the directories under "os" have long filenames. This is fine with the dos boot disk, presumably because it mangles them the same for winnt as it does for install.pl.

Under linux, though, the initial installer gets told to copy files from "win2kServer", which doesn't work in dosemu.

Another problem I'm running into is when it tries to copy my driver files over.

I am getting the error:

Setup was unable to copy the following file:

IA32

o press ENTER to retry the copy operation
[ etc. ]

I did a find in the os directory and this is the only hit:
./win2ksp4/I386/$oem$/$1/drivers/shuttle/LAN/Windows/Drivers/IA32

(IA32 is a directory)

I don't see anything immediatly wrong with this path, here's part of a tree from the shuttle directory:
|-- LAN
| |-- CBCombo.exe
| |-- DIAG1000.EXE
| |-- Windows
| | `-- Drivers
| | `-- IA32
| | |-- E1000NT5.SYS
| | |-- Net82557.din
| | |-- PROUnstl.exe
| | |-- e100b325.sys
| | |-- e100bnt5.sys
| | |-- intelnic.dll
| | `-- net8254x.din
| |-- diag100.exe
| |-- e1000.cat
| |-- e100bw2k.cat
| |-- net8254x.inf
| |-- neti557x.inf
| `-- verfile.tic
|-- USB2
| |-- hccoin.dll
| |-- symbols
| | |-- usbehci.pdb
| | |-- usbhub20.pdb
| | `-- usbport.pdb
| |-- usb2.inf
| |-- usbehci.sys
| |-- usbhub20.sys
| `-- usbport.sys


IA32 is the only one it complains about. Perhaps it is too deep?

----

When it first detects the drive (a 160gig drive), I get various errors in the style of:
Odd. C/H/S does not multiply out to 312581808.


Setting C/H/S for hda to 19457/255/63...done.

The boot output is:
hda: ST3160021A, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: max request size: 1024KiB
hda: 312581808 sectors (160041 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=19457/255/63, UDMA(100)
hda: hda1


These CHS values do not correspond to what the BIOS thinks the drive is.

Here's the BIOS settings, and what it ends up with for C/H/S with each of them:

CHS -- 65535/16/255
LBA -- 16643/255/63
Large -- 4095/240/255
Auto -- 65535/16/255  (same as CHS)

This might be related to the next problem...

----
Finally, (after skipping the copy of IA32), It reboots and I end up with:
Setup cannot find the temporary installation files.

The hard drive on which Setup placed temporary files is not
currently available to Windows 2000.  You may need a

Thoughts?
