Lost on Winnt.sif on new Lenovo

[dkreifus]

I got the drivers from Intel and from Lenovo.

I decided to forgo the direct installation on this machine, and just want to drop a sysprepped image on this machine.

I updated my sysprep file to include the new info under

[sysprepMassStorage]

so it reads:

But now when I boot, I have a black screen, no XP logo. I feel like I'm missing something very basic.

I've conceded to using Nlite, but only for driver integration. Other than a hiccup in my sysprep that I have to fix, it seems to be working fine so far.

I had the same problem and here's what I did to fix.

It appears that the new x200 and t400s will not boot on the ACPI HAL. The fix was simple:

Copy "Hall.dll" "ntoskrl.exe" and "ntkrnlpa.exe" (filenames may not be exact) from c:\windows\system32 from another XP system using the MULTIPROCESSOR HAL to my imaged drive. Immediately booted.

It appears that the new x200 and t400s will not boot on the ACPI HAL.

This apparently is true for any Centrino2 processor system when dropping an XP image to them.

I swapped out the HAL and it worked perfectly.
