ihaveabu Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 those ARE my configsIf it's not booting, your kernel is messed up. Wrong version, or your modifying it wrong.As for the two entries, perhaps you should understand what the script does before using it. It creates a copy of the original entry, with the name "Windows XP professional" and appends /kernel= to the entry.What happens when it boots? error message?it boots fine. just uses the default win xp thing. doens't boot with the edited kernel. and wat is the rite place to get the kernels? sp1, sp2, or drivers.cab? they each have the 4 files. and i'm installing a sp2 integrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 yes, there are. According to txtsetup.sif, setup copies them from I386, not the cab files. So yes, they are there. but they're not called ntoskrnl.exe , but rather ntoskrnl.ex_ and you have to expand them.And for the record, they are there from the GOLD XP, updated with SP1 and SP2. If you extract the SP2 exe network install file, you'll find a ntoskrnl.ex_ in it's I386 directory that is copied over to your XP source during integrationthat would be the when (the cmdlines.txt file) but I could have sworn I suggested you change it to GUIRunOnce.

Alanoll Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Alright step by step.....1. Grab ntoskrnl.ex_ and ntkrnlmp.ex_ from your I386 diretory. Copy them to another folder. Open a command prompt to that folder and typeexpand ntoskrnl.ex_ OEMkrnl.exeexpand ntkrnlmp.ex_ Dualkrnl.exe2. Edit the kernel files the way you want.3. Create the CMD file with the script it in. Save that in $OEM$\$$\ and call it bootscreen.cmd (full path would be %XPCD%\$OEM$\$$\bootscreen.cmd with %XPCD% being the path to your XP setup folder. At the same time, copy your two kernel files to this location as well.4. In your winnt.sif file, add this....[GuiRunOnce]%systemroot%\bootscreen.cmd5. Recreate image and test.And before you think something hasn't worked yet (the bootscreen hasn't changed). Once the desktop loads, try restarting and see if it appears then. If not, copy the boot.ini file here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not those exact steps, but the basic principle is the same. Though I find if people read alittle and not get it handed to them step by step, they are capable of continuing on to other advanced things. lol. Lesson learned.

jrzycrim Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Running that from GUIRunOnce, it won't take effect until the second boot like Alanoll said. Also, post your boot.ini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
