You guys ever experience a black screen during the initial XP setup screen after slipstreaming SP3? It's the screen where you get the chance to press F6 to load a SCSI driver, then all the drivers load, then you get to where you can start setting up windows by choosing the hard drive ect. ect. I am backloading an HP DV5-1125nr from Vista to XP Pro for a friend, and I had to slipstream the AMD AHCI RAID controller in order to see the hard drive. I thought I'd go ahead and slipstream SP3 and a few other drivers while I was at it. I used a winxp pro disk that had SP2 on it to work off of, which doesn't have the issue. The Windows setup does finally appear and I can load XP, but it's just strange about the black screen, where I should be seeing the blue screen, and all the drivers loading into memory displaying at the bottom. Anyone else have this issue?

Ahh cool, thanks. It's not too big of a deal, since I can just use my jump drive. I need to read up on textmode and PNP it looks like.

vlite doesn't seem to want to integrate sil3112 drivers in to my image. It seems like it integrates it fine when I do it, but Vista doesn't see my hard drives during setup, like the driver isn't available for the controller. I know I have the right drivers because I can load them with my jump drive during the Vista setup process. I have an ASUS A7N8X motherboard The driver package for Vista was downloaded from here (1.0.60.0) I'm pretty familiar with integrating drivers using nlite. I've done it for several different machines I've worked on with SATA controllers not recognized by XP, not to mention my own. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
