Help a n00b integrate Promise SATA/RAID Drivers

**Celestial Fury** · September 19, 2004

Hi all.

New to this unattended malarky, so bear with me please.....

I am looking to set myself up with an unattended install for XP PRO that can work on all 3 of the PCs I have here at home.

SO far I have made an XP/SP2 slipstream disc.

This runs perfectly on 2 of the systems, but mine is causing a bit of a problem.

The root of the problem is the motherboard (MSI K8T NEO FIS2R) with its 2 on-board SATA/RAID controllers (PROMISE 378 SATA/RAID and VIA VT6420/VT8237 SAATA/RAID)

I tried using the mass storage driver pack, but it has problems with BOTH of the controllers. If I install XP to the promise controller, it fails to load the drivers, on the VIA controller, it bluescreens after the first reboot.

I believe these are down to the fact that a 64-bit Via driver was used in the pack, and that there are problems with the hardware ID of the promise controller .

I have looked at greenmachines tutorial HERE on how to get the drivers to install at textmode, but am unsure as to wheere I get the device IDs, and what lines to replace the iinstances of the Silicon Image controller in his examples.

Here is the code for both the VIA controller (from the inf file) and for the Promise controller:

The root of the problem is the motherboard (MSI K8T NEO FIS2R) with its 2 on-board SATA/RAID controllers (PROMISE 378 SATA/RAID and VIA VT6420/VT8237 SAATA/RAID)

1. problem with Promise controller==> PLEASE SEND ME YOUR DEVICEID!!!!!!!!!!

2. problem with VIA SATA RAID controller ==> fixed

and here the IDs are:

**Bâshrat the Sneaky** · September 19, 2004

Okay, but what's the deviceID of that VIA controller on the MSI Neo2 FISR?

I don't know if you saw it, but there are identical deviceID's in the fasttx2k and the ulsata driver....

Please try this:

Replace

"PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373"

by

"PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373&SUBSYS_702E1462"

in your txtsetup.sif!

**Celestial Fury** · September 19, 2004

OK.

I THINK I have it going now - I only checked up to the part where you need to select the drive to install windows as need to integrate some programs before I use this.

Here is what I added to my txtsetup.sif:

[SourceDisksFiles] 
viamraid.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 
viapdsk.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1
fasttx2k.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1
ulSata.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1
viapdsk.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1



[HardwareIdsDatabase] 
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3249 = "viamraid"
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viamraid"
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3164 = "viamraid"
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149 = "viapdsk"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3376 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373&SUBSYS_702E1462&REV_02 = "UlSata"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373&SUBSYS_702E1462 = "UlSata"




[SCSI.load] 
viamraid = viamraid.sys,4 
viapdsk = viapdsk.sys,4
fasttx2k = fasttx2k.sys,4
ulSata = ulSata.sys,4

[SCSI] 
viamraid = "VIA SATA RAID Controller" 
viapdsk = "VIA ATA/ATAPI Host Controller"
fasttx2k = "WinXP   Promise FastTrak 376/378 (tm) Controller"
UlSata   = "WinXP   Promise SATA378 (tm) Controller"

It detected a SATA drive on each of the controllers (VIA and PROMISE)

when I have the CD fully sorted, I will try this with a RAID array set up on each controller, but I DID see the Fasttrack and VIA RAID drivers being loaded in the setup phase. I know this doesnt mean a lot until I actually SEE the setup routine detecting and loading a RAID array on each controller, but its a start.

Fury

**Bâshrat the Sneaky** · September 19, 2004

Well I think it should work then !

Please test it and post your results or send me an e-mail, so I can update the DriverPack!

**Celestial Fury** · September 19, 2004

WORKING

Setup detected a RAID Array on each of the RAID controllers. Installed windows perfectly on each RAID array.

Only problem was that I had left in part of the mass storage driverpack that I knew wasnt working..... The IDE Miniport driver in the VIA RAID folder.....

It causes any IDE CD-ROM/DVD-ROMS to be installed as SCSI devices on the VIA PIDE controller. This means they arent accessed correctly. I can burn CDs on my DVD-RW, but NOT DVDs.

If I try to install the Hyperion drivers, it tells me that I need to remove the IDEMiniport driver, but doing so results in a bluescreen. Cant even do it in safemode.

Simple solution for me is to remove the IDEMiniport driver folder from the RAID/VIA folder, but I dont know if there are VIA chipsets that NEED this driver.

So all you did was removing the VIA MiniPort driver?

Did you use the DeviceID I mentioned?

**Celestial Fury** · September 19, 2004

Yeah, all I did was remove the miniport folder - didnt modify anything else.

A couple of posts up, you can see what I used in the txtsetup.sif.

The deviceID you mentioned is used in it(for UlSata) and so is the other one (for fasttrack). I dont know that the REV_02 is for in the top UlSata line, but I kept it in and it worked fine

Worked a charm.

I used GreenMachines instructions for makecab to add the sy_ files to the i386 folder.

OK, then I'll remove that driver in the next release. Let's see if it will keep working for everyone...

The root of the problem is the motherboard (MSI K8T NEO FIS2R) with its 2 on-board SATA/RAID controllers (PROMISE 378 SATA/RAID and VIA VT6420/VT8237 SAATA/RAID)
I tried using the mass storage driver pack, but it has problems with BOTH of the controllers. If I install XP to the promise controller, it fails to load the drivers, on the VIA controller, it bluescreens after the first reboot.

I have the same situations too

my mainboard is MSI 875 NEO FIS2R that on board PROMISE 378 and INTEL ICH5R SATA/RAID controller

I post TXTSETUP.OEM of promise378 driver root
