Follow the steps described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 315279 at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...ben-us%3b315279.

Modify the b57win32.inf file as described below. In the .inf file that is to be placed in the RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_Name\i386 folder:

Remove the [broadcom] section (see the following example):

[broadcom]

%OEM1_DEV5% = OEM1_DEV5.Inst, PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_165D&SUBSYS_865d1028

.

.

%BCM5750B0F% = BCM5750B0MF.Inst, PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_167E&SUBSYS_057D1014&REV_10

Remove NTx86.5.1 in two locations (see the following example).

Original Revised

[Manufacturer]

%BRCM% = Broadcom, NTx86.5.1

Hi,

You don't mention *exactly* what the problem is...

i) Does the RIS installation complete only for the client system to not have the Windows driver for the Broadcom NIC installed?

or

ii) Does the RIS server refuse to load the image through text-mode setup saying that "There is not a suitable driver for your hardware" or something to that effect?

If the problem is i) then the answer lies with checking your SIF file.

If the problem is ii) (which I suspect) then you need to check that you followed the Broadcom RIS instructions 100% and that you have restarted the BINL service. I suspect that not restarting the BINL service is the most likely cause as you don't mention it in your otherwise comprehensive post.

To restart the BINL service, first make sure you have copied the required Broadcom *.inf and *.sys driver files to the i386 folder.

Next, log on to the RIS server and open a "cmd" prompt. Then type:

NET STOP BINLSVC
NET START BINLSVC

Your drivers should now work.

Please let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

Andy

ps - There is one other possibility which is that you need to make sure you are using the latest Broadcom drivers. They are v8.48e for gigabit NICs.

Also, note (this is a big note!) Broadcom changed their RIS instructions recently. You seem to be using the old method. Try this instead (from the Broadcom site):

...Locate [Manufacturer]within the file.

Review the line below which reads: %BRCM% = Broadcom, NTx86.5.1, NTamd64.

Modify that line to read: %BRCM% = Broadcom.NTx86.5.1, NTamd64. The change made replaces the comma and space after "Broadcom" with a period.

Save the file.

Hi,

Just found the problem!

Change the name of the folder:

$1$

to

$1

Retest. I bet it works

I agree with Andy. The $1 & $$ are placemarkers not just directories used during the setup process and are equivalent to %systemdrive% and %windir%. So $1$ is meaningless.

I also strongly suggest you create your default RIS Windows XP install and then save changes in a duplicated directory structure (eg remoteinstall.add) and robocopy this to the reminst share and then restart binlsvc. That way its easy to see what you've added (or missed) Just remeber to delete any files from the live RIS share if you remove them from your add structure. Also makes it easy to replicate the RIS config for other OSes!

Hope this helps

PS leenamhee PMed me and told me that the folder name change did fix the problem. However, it looks like he may of inadvertently caused another!

Hello everyone..

first of all, i really thank for your answer & interest specially to frencer128.

as Fencer128 menthioned, i fixed the problem by changing the folder name from $1$ to $1

until now, there is no problem about progress on ris installation.

(i sent mail to frencer128 involuntarily cause i'not unfamiliar to use this site.)
