Hi all, I'm new to unattended, and have got quite a long way. I booted from PXE, went through all the partitioning hassle to create a 2GB FAT partition without trashing the rest of the drive, answered all the questions to set up unattend.txt, watched it copy all the installation files from the server, and rebooted. I allowed unattended to replace the MBR.
On rebooting it just says Datentragerfehler and then "press any key to restart" in German. I thought this might have something to do with whatever replaced the MBR, so I used a linux rescue disk to reinstall grub2 and created a menu entry for /dev/sda1 using chainloader +1. Now the grub2 menu comes up on reboot but selecting that entry results in exactly the same error, so I now think the problem must be with ntldr or ntdetect (since the only files on the root of the partition are ntdetect.com, ntldr and boot.ini). I've read everything I can find on google, but I don't think I've seen anything quite like this. One message[1] details the same error message, but seemed to have a problem setting up the 2GB partition, which I haven't (it mounts perfectly under Linux, and everything is present and correct if only it could boot). Another one[2] talks about disk geometry and SATA drives, and might be related to my problem, but I don't understand enough of it. Is there something I need to install on the partition, or something I need to tell grub2, to make the ntldr/ntdetect understand its disk environment?
