Jazkal Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I have used both the Dell and Broadcom updated driver without issues. I know that when I didn't use the updated driver, I had issues with getting the broadcom nics to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 Interestingly, I've managed to get it working with the HP DL320 by removing all traces of the Broadcom drivers, and using the HP ones (q57 rather than b57). Since the vendor ID's are the same in the inf (I assume anyway), I suspect something in the b57 inf file is causing factory.exe to get upset. If this is true, there's a chance the same could be true of the q57 64 file? I'll investigate more tomorrow. Strange goings on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) Here is my build. It took me a while to get this image to work on all the hardware I have to support, but it does now.

ChrisBaksa Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I am still having Issues.I have replaced the Broadcomm driver (sys and inf) and still have the same results. FACTORY.EXE - Failed to Install Network Adapter - Check WINBOM.ini.This only happen on WINPE2005 (32bit). My WINPE 1.2 build works fine.Same build process. I have contacted DELL but they are way behind the times with WINPE.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I have contacted DELL but they are way behind the times with WINPE.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Been there, done that. Expect a fix from Dell in about 18 months. I don't mean to rag on them, just haven't had good experiences with Dell fixing issues. Maybe they will be better in the future, could happen.

ChrisBaksa Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ok folks.After speaking with several people here is what I have found.The problem is with the NIC driver, not w/WinPe. You need the HP 7.103 q57win32.sys driver; previous versions of the driver (including generic BroadCom driver) mangle the MAC. The newer HP systems introduce side-band technology in their LOMs, which their driver didn't handle appropriately causing the problem. Predominately exposes itself when booted in later versions of WinPe. HP has a preliminary driver which will be the same one that is released with teh Support Pack 7.4 in early September. This of course does not fix my Dell problem. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 7.103 is what I'm using, and it's still crashing my Proliant DL385. Steps to verify:Build WinPE64 image from Windows 2003 SP1 x64 ISOSlipstream 7.103 driver in with drvinstBoot ISO via Ramdisk using x64 kernelfactory.exe -winpe locks up detecting network driversI've also tried with generic Broadcomm b57amd64.sys version 8.27.1.0 - same result.Awaiting Microsoft's reply.

n00dles Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Anyone using WinPE on HP/Compaq hardware should be using the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (1.2 is the current version - obviously get the Win32 edition, not the DOS one!) for drivers... it's p*** easy to integrate all array controller and NIC drivers for pretty much all HP/Compaq hardware... I've used the same build from 6400R's right through to DL580 G3's and not had a single driver issue.You need to register for it, but it's a free download and you go to the download page right after filling in the registration page so you can put in bogus info if you're paranoid and hate salepeople (like me :-)SmartStart Scripting ToolkitI wish all hardware vendors would do stuff like this... big tick for HP in my book.

Jazkal Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) What version of the drivers are they? If I have that, I can call Dell and get the ones I need.EDIT: just clarifing, these are 64bit or 32bit drivers?

Jazkal Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 got an update.Microsoft has Broadcom 6.68.0.0 x64 drivers (very old) and they prevent the lockup. But even using these drivers, I still can't get the NIC's to pull a DHCP address.so, it continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
