Stop 0x0000007b post mini-setup

[koawmfot]

i am creating a new image for corporate deployment (XP Pro). i run sysprep (-nosidgen -factory) using the buildmassstorage=yes section along with my non-standard storage controllers and have the system reboot into factory mode. if i backup this image i can bring it down onto any different client system and it works fine.

the problem is that when i now run sysprep -pnp -reseal -mini on this build to be able to truly deploy out to clients, mini-setup will run fine, but then when the system reboots after completing mini-setup, i get the 0x0000007b error. i know this is a mass storage problem, but cannot figure out how the system boots and can run through mini-setup ok, then crap out afterwards. usually if i have a mass storage problem, the system cannot even boot into mini-setup.

has anyone seen this? any suggestions on things i can try?

this is my entire sysprep.inf for the factory sysprep:
