More a Windows XP question than an Unattended specific one, but I really am hoping someone has overcome this before 'cos I really am stuc.
We've been using Acer notebooks for a while and they recently changed their range to include the ATi IGP9000 over the old intel 865M (or whatever it was) and they just won't accept my Unattended installation I've been using for months. I get to the "installing drivers" bit of the GUI mode installer and I'm BSODed with an 0xA5 ACPI NOT SUPPORTED error. Clearly it's got to be something to do with either the IGP or the updated Phoenix BIOS that supports it. I can perform a succesful install using regular media but I get an MPS Unprocessor HAL, which is useless on a laptop. Similarly, I can install through Unattended if I specify Standard PC in HardwareType in unattend.txt, but again, no ACPI kernel is no use on a laptop. If I just use Acers preloaded XP (a sysprep job) then I get an ACPI Uniprocessor PC HAL. The version of the hal.dll (and ntoskrnl.exe) are regular SP1 (5.1.2600.1106(xpsp1.020828-1920)), same as on my slipstreamed SP1 distribution share. I'm still guessing there's some kind of patching going on Acers build that I can't see. Does anybody have ANY advice for me? I'm at me wits end! Cheers, Kev PS. I tried using a slipstreamed SP2, sambe problem... ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
