Hello, first of all thank you for helping me with my previous question. Now I have quite a huge driver directory for use with unattended W2KSP4-Installation, and in most cases it works. But I noticed one problem which looks a little strange to me. I installed 3 different machines, one having onboard VIA AC97 sound, the second one using a Realtek AC97 sound chip and the third one a SoundMax integrated audio chip. When including all drivers during setup, all 3 were recognized as Realtek chips at first. For the first machine, this resulted in a yellow exclamation mark next to the device in the device manager, the second one worked (of course) and the third one gave a bluescreen (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) right after the next boot. When trying to reinstall the driver, Windows offers 4 different drivers as equal alternatives: C-Media CMI8xxx, Realtek AC97 Audio, SoundMax Integrated Audio and VIA Vinyl Audio. Using the right one everything works, chosing the wrong results in said problems.
Is this a general flaw in Windows hardware detection? AFAIK, different manufacturers should use different Vendor IDs on their PCI devices, so this should not happen? What bothers me most is the third case where using the wrong driver results in a bluescreen, halting unattended setup.
