fly Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Now if only I could adapt this setupldr.bin to change the hal on a syspreped machine!You can script the HAL change using RunOnce...edit: I posted how to do it before, but can't remember the tool I used, and the search here sucks. I'll look around though if you're interested.edit2: You can hot swap the HAL with devcon: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/m...60-aaeb017e5fc7 Edited March 17, 2008 by fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalle_mod Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi thereI've tried part 2 and it doesn't work at all, it just says file missing e.g. rr174xp.sys missing, when i take a look in my backup folder i find rr174xp.sy_ and when I expand the file the new file is named rr174x.sys... I've removed rr174xp.sy_ frem my I386 folder as the guide says but it cant figure out that I've already expanded the files for it :SKalle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caps_buster Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Whoa! Editing the TXTSETUP.SIF file looks like it can get the install go on way faster, because one can really disable the many unnecessary stuff there. I have few questions, tough. First at all - then the TXTSETUP.SIF file are excessive number of empty lines. Must they have been preserved? I dubt that, but I better ask first Second, there is could of things that I want to know what they are and if I can ",noload" them. The SCSI stuff is self-explainatory (tough I have still one minor question, will the Deamon tools work then to emulate CDroms? Because it work as emulating them as being the SCSI ones...) but how about this?[busExtenders.Load]pcmcia = pcmcia.sysIf I did not have any PCMCIA slot on my machine and on most PCs, I should ",noload" it, right?[files.i8042]i8042prt.sys,4What is this?[files.sermouse]sermouse.sys,4Is that a support for serial mouse, eg. mouse connected to COM port?[scsiClass.Load]cdrom = cdrom.sysdisk = disk.sysfloppy = sfloppy.sys,,noloadramdisk = ramdisk.sysSCSI floppy is already disabled, disabling the disk if not having any SCSI card will be good too, right? And disabling the cdrom only when I never need the Deamon tools to emulate one, right? And the ramdisk is what? SCSI ramdisk? Is that really necessary to have?[inputDevicesSupport.Load]serial = serial.sysserenum = serenum.sysIs not that again the serial mouse?[files.ohci1394]ohci1394.sys,41394bus.sys,4The 1394 bus is already disabled above (ohci1394 = ohci1394.sys,,noload) - but will it be good to disable loading this files also?[files.sbp2port]sbp2port.sys,4What is this? Soundblater port or what the...?![files.lbrtfdc]lbrtfdc.sys,4I have no idea what is this either.[files.vga]vga.sys,4framebuf.dll,2vga.dll,2vga256.dll,2vga64k.dll,2Do are all those VGA files really necessary? Aren't the vga.dll, vga256.dll and vga64.dll just same versions of the file for different VGa capable cards and witch one is used on normal modern hardware? Then the rest could be discarded?Anyone can help me out? Edited March 1, 2009 by caps_buster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well, this is not "question time". Empty lines in txtsetup.sif can be removed allright.i8042 is the "right " name for PS/2 keyboard and mouse bus:http://www.file.net/process/i8042prt.sys.htmlMore generally, try searching in Google for the driver name alone or together with TXTSETUP.SIF and you'll probably find all the info you need.Don't assume that anything is "properly" named. IDE and ATA/SATA devices use disk.sys or cdrom.sys as wellserial.sys/serenum.sys are about the serial PORT(s) not mouse.1394 (read "firewire") is NOT i8042.You must read a lot of things besides this thread in order to be able to identify properly system files, their use, the need or lack of need for them.The SMALLEST possible TXTSETUP.SIF you will ever find (used in a MicroPE project) is here:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=17807your mileage may vary.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 FWIW, the fastest install that can take place will be achieved by:installing Unknown Device Identifierrunning it to get ALL of your hardware device stringsopening TXTSETUP.INFscrolling to [HardwareIdsDatabase]put in all of your device strings, edit the driver files accordinglyOpen SYSSETUP.INFscroll to [DeviceInfsToInstall]remove INFs for devices you don't have. for example: mchgr.inf (media changer -- trust me, you don't have one)1394.inf -- Firewiretape.inf -- tape driversnetirsir.inf -- Infrared devicespcmcia.inf -- laptops onlybattery.inf -- laptops onlyetc etc etc etc etc etchere are the devices from win2k's TXTSETUP that the WinXP TXTSETUP does not have. in other words, support for these was removed from xp... this probably means that it would be very rare for you to encounter any of these:cpqfws2e = cpqfws2e.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havecpqarray = cpqarray.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havecpqarry2 = cpqarry2.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havencrc710 = ncrc710.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havebuslogic = buslogic.sys,4 ; XP doesn't haveflashpnt = flashpnt.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havelp6nds35 = lp6nds35.sys,4 ; XP doesn't haveql2100 = ql2100.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havecpqfcalm = cpqfcalm.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havefireport = fireport.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havefd16_700 = fd16_700.sys,4 ; XP doesn't havetffsport = tffsport.sys,4 ; XP doesn't haveso you could comment them all out.editing empty lines will not gain you any speed.much may be learned by analyzing my files.
