Skeeter6755 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) Hello all, I have been working on this for some time now and am still having trouble with a particular point. During a RIS install of Server 2003 to a SAS/SATA HAB, I get through the textmode and the GUI mode of setup, but when the final reboot comes, it just reboots constantly. I never get to the destop.If anyone could help me with this, that would be great! I have been smashing my head against the wall about this thing.So here is my directory structure: Where my driver files are:RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\lsimptRemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\lsimpt\i386I also copied the *.sys and *.inf files to this location:RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\i386\Here is my *.sif file from the following directory:RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\i386\templates\;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="1" UnattendedInstall="Yes" floppyless="1" OriSrc="\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" OriTyp="4" LocalSourceOnCD=1 AutomaticUpdates=1 [SetupData] OsLoadOptions="/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice="\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%"[OEMBootFiles]lsi_sas.tagtxtsetup.oemlsi_sas.inflsi_sas.pdblsi_sas.syss2k332.cat[MassStorageDrivers]LSI_SAS_32 = "LSI Logic Fusion-MPT SAS Driver (Server 2003 32-bit)",lsi_sas[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No DisableVirtualOemDevices=Yes DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No UnattendSwitch=Yes WaitForReboot=Yes UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes Hibernation=Yes OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\nic\01;Drivers\nic\02;Drivers\nic\03;Drivers\nic;Drivers\nic\NWSERVER;Drivers\nic\WFW311;Drivers\lsimpt;Drivers\lsimpt\i386;Drivers\Lan; ...Drivers\Lan\L\z; [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=%TIMEZONE% OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey= FullName="Swtest" OrgName="LSI" ComputerName=%MACHINENAME%[LicenseFilePrintData] AutoMode=PerServer AutoUsers=5[SetupMgr] DistFolder=C:\windist DistShare=windist[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=1 Use_Same_Proxy=1 HTTP_Proxy_Server=naproxy.lsil.com:8080 Proxy_Override=<local>[GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd%systemdrive%\install\RunOnceEx.cmd%systemdrive%\install\wpi.cmd%systemdrive%\install\install.cmd[Identification] JoinDomain=%MACHINEDOMAIN% DoOldStyleDomainJoin=Yes[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes ProcessPageSections=Yes[RemoteInstall] Repartition=Yes[OSChooser] Description="Windows Server 2003 EE with SP1" Help="This will install Windows Server 2003 EE in a standard configuration."

Nazgul Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I think it would be wise to remove you ProductKey from your post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Productkey removed, OemPnPDriversPath shortened.@Skeeter6755: note that you did not properly close your OemPnPDriversPath!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter6755 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks for the tip. I did change the *.sif file and took out that final ";".I am still having this problem though. Does anyone have any other ideas?Thanks,Skeeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I hope you added a quote at the end of your OemPnPDriversPath?Like this:OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\dmlkj;Drivers\dsmlkfj;...;Drivers\dmslkfj" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter6755 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 When I do that, I get this error message:"Line 47 of the INF file tmp/303030564E4A47313439202020202020.sif is invalid. Setup cannot continue."Line 47 matches up to the "OemPnPDriversPath" line in the sif file. I don't think it likes the quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
