Aha, a search-windrivers.pl fan ! Unfortunately, I'm not shure search-windrivers.pl will work: TXTSETUP.OEM is a specific stuff for mass storage driver, drivers that Windows kernel need to load on startup if it want to access storage devices. search-windrivers.pl provides drivers for plug-and-play system, ie once the kernel has booted and is able to read files from hard-drive. With SATA controllers, it works most of time, since windows is able to use generic/legacy access to controllers, so it can later install drivers. But for specific mass storage systems (SCSI, RAID, etc.) or recent ICH intel stuff, It can be a real pain. Example: Lenovo x61s can be installed with search-windrivers.pl *IF* the ICH8 SATA controller is set to AHCI -> compatibility in BIOS. IF not, windows kernel panic: "*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)" Once installed, you can then savfely revert to AHCI mode: Windows has loaded the right drivers in previous step (PnP) .... Back to [OEMBootFiles] trouble: nt5x-install mimics the Windows installer comportment in DOS mode in order to avoid its boring copy files mechanism; but this step also prepare stuff for real windows kernel boot. A short read of this script does not seem to take care about mass storage specific hack,related to files copy or file content updates. Peharps the guy who wrote wonderful nt5x-install (project http://unatteneded-gui.sf.net) have some interresting comments ? Cc: him. But I don't know why this section is empty ... are you shure it's empty because of nt5x-install ? What do you mean by DOS reboot ? You let Windows starts ? In such as case, avoid it: reboot directly with unattended and check the file content (Ctl-C to stop the installation). my $0.02 Pierre Bourgin > regards > > On Fri, 2009-02-06 at 18:20 +0100, Nils Østbjerg wrote: >> Hi again. >> >> I have looked into the problem I have described below, and I noticed >> something strange. >> >> If I look at "unattend.txt" just before nt5x-install start >> the [OEMBootFiles] section have the appopiate files listed. >> >> But just after the computer reboot, I boot into dos and look at >> c:\netinst\unattend.txt and the [OEMBootFiles] section is empty. >> >> I might be wrong but I think that is the problem. >> >> Anyone got any good ideas? >> >> Im quite lost and I would really prefere to use nt5x-install as it is SO >> much faster, especially under VMware ESX. >> >> Nils >> >> >> On Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 04:01:03PM +0100, Nils Østbjerg wrote: >> >>> When Im using the nt5x-install script I cant select TEXTMODE drivers. >>> Well I can select them but I get the following error: >>> >>> "File TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1747 in >>> d:\xpsp\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c." >>> >>> >>> The textmode driver is the standard Intel ACHI and RAID drivers, they >>> are located in >>> >>> z:\os\winxpsp3.enu\I386\$OEM$\TEXTMODE >>> >>> >>> After I have selected the apropiate driver the installations hangs in >>> the blue windows installer with the error message mentinoned above. >>> >>> If I look at the c-driver I can se it is copied into >>> >>> c:\$\TEXTMODE\ >>> >>> But I got no clue if that is the right place. >>> >>> Anyone got any ideas, or even do anyone got it working at all? >>> >>> >>> I had it working with the old install.pl dosemu method. >>> >>> >>> Nils >>> -- >>> Nils Østbjerg >>> SAMF-IT, Faculty of Social Sciences, Aalborg University, Denmark >>> >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with >>> Adobe(R)AIR(TM) >>> software.
