Dell D600 XP Broadcom Driver & RIS


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can anyone help me out here... I'm in charge of configuring our RIS server and I'm having some issues with the Dell D600 XP Boradcom driver (Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller A02) and RISing. I copy over the three files to the I386 dir for post RIS like I'm supose to but post RIS still does not pick it up. Only time it does is when I copy over the WINDOWS 2000 Broadcom files. And even still it screws up after ~34min mark and restarts the installation. I am in the processes of creating a test RIS image to troubleshoot this more but I am seriously at a loss here.

Anyone here have that problem or can think of a resolution?

I am in the exact same spot! I have a Dell D600 laptop and trying to use our newly created RIS image to clone it. I get the driver not found in image error. I'm just unsure where to copy driver files to. :(

I think that the driverpack will fix that problem to both of you.

Those drivers must be in i386 directory too and $OEM$\$1\lan directory. And you have to edit your ristnrd.sif ( it can be found under i386\templates dir ) oempath like this: OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Lan;

But driverpacks instructions are quite same.

See it's not the windows detection of the drivers. it's at the post where it's needed to copy the drivers into the I386 dir for dos use so I don't see that drivers pack helping me out considering you said I need to modify the SIF OEM driver path which is only used during the detection of hardware in the GUI stage.

Well Chudd, I know for a fact that if they are non windows xp packaged drivers you have to copy the .Sys, .inf and .Cat file into your image dir under the I386 directory. That is standard windows RIS practice.

I'm just finding it really weird that the XP drivers don't pick up during post but the Win2k ones do!?

... Maybe I'll extract the Broadcom drivers from the driver pack and try those to post RIS.

thanks for the pointers boys, but please keep them coming cuz I don't think this idea of mine will work.
