Hello Bryan,
do you have a "clear" windows2003 install source?
Not altered with any drivers or patches?
Normally you get this message, when you tried to integrate a textmode driver
into an install source using e.g. nLite.
That does NOT work.
I've written an how-to to do that (e.g. Dell PERC SCSI Controller), because
tools like nlite doesnt work for TEXTMODE drivers:
You should have the following files:
aac.inf
aac.sys
aaccin.dll
aacevt.exe
aacmgt.inf
raiddisk1
txtsetup.oem
Copy the Files to the following Destination:
* Copy the files .cat, .inf and .sys to $XP_SHARE\i386\$oem$\TEXTMODE
* Copy the files .exe, .dll (and maybe others) to
$XP_SHARE\i386\$oem$\$$\OemDir
* Copy ALL files to $XP_SHARE\i386\$oem$\Drivers\SCSI
* Compress ALL .sys files using 'makecab' (e.g. makecab aac.sys in the
commandline under windows) and copy them to $XP_SHARE\i386
Modification of the 'TXTSETUP.SIF' in $XP_SHARE\i386 (for XP64 this files
can be found in AMD64!)
Search for the section [SourceDisksFiles] and add the following:
[SourceDisksFiles]
aac.sys = 100,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4
This is necessary for ALL .sys files.
In this case we only got on .sys file.
For Windows2000 this entry looks like this:
[SourceDisksFiles]
aac.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1
Search for the section [HardwareIdsDatabase] and add the following:
[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_0285&SUBSYS_02871028 = "aac"
These information can be found in the TXTSETUP.OEM shipped with driver.
Just open it with a normal editor like notepad.
Search for the section [SCSI.load] and add the following:
[SCSI.Load]
aac = aac.sys,4
You also need to add EVERY single .sys file here!
Last but not least add the following to the [SCSI] section:
[SCSI]
aac = "Dell PERC 320/DC SCSI RAID Controller"
You can just choose anything you want here as the description.
Save the file and give it a try.
Before you start have a closer look to the TXTSETUP.OEM file shipped with
the driver.
You've to be 100% sure what you're doing to the TXTSETUP.SIF file as you can
f*ck up your whole XP or 2003 source.
So you'd better make a backup of that file before fooling around with it :-)
I've added several drivers (Intel Matrix, Adaptec, Dell Perc, etc.) using
this method.
Hope it helps.
Sebastian

Subject: [Unattended] Mass Storage Drivers
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
