Hello All,
I've been trying to make this work for the last two weeks and after
countless hours googling I'm close to insanity. Here is my situation, I
am attempting to install Windows 2003 on an IBM LS21 blade with:
73GB 10K SFF SAS HDD
QLogic 4Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFv)
With no mass storage drivers added to i386/$oem$/textmode on the first
boot from the hard disk (after pxe booting the linux boot disk) I get a
black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner. Adding the
driver for the qlogic card gets me to the text mode installation, which
ends abruptly with a:
File textsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1896 in
d:\srvrtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c
The fact that I get further with the qlogic driver installed tells me
that it is obviously needed. What I am unsure of is what mass storage
driver I'm missing (which is what I believe is causing the txtsetup.oem
error, though I'm willing to hear arguments to the contrary). I've tried
combining the txtsetup.oem files from the SAS HDD and the qlogic card,
adding the drivers from each into the textmode directory and updating
unattend.txt with the entire list, which results in the blank screen
with the blinking cursor.
Can someone give me some direction about what to try to make this setup
work? I've been through all of Microsoft's documentation (if you can
call it that) and can't make it happen.
Thanks,
Bryan
