Txtsetup.oem RAID install, 2003, works, 2000 fails

**ccullinan** · August 29, 2006

Hi guys,

First up, great site, it has been a god send to us on many an occasion!

I am trying to install drivers for a Dell PERC Raid Controller on a new Dell 2950 using the txtsetup.oem method. The drivers supplied by DELL are for Windows 2000 and 2003. After stripping out the files from their installer i got the file list below which we have copied to %WCABPATH%\i386\$OEM$\Textmode and in the path specified by OEMPnPDriversPath=drivers\raid.

megasas.pdb

megasas.sys

nodev.inf

percsas.cat

percsas.pdb

percsas.sys

oemsetup.inf

txtsetup.oem

The install worked without a problem on 2003 but continually fails on Windows 2000 with the setup error The file percsas.sys could not be found. Press any key to continue. This doesn’t even seem to be a file required for the 2000 build.

My txtsetup.oem file is :

[Disks]
d1 = "DELL PERC5 RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000", \megasas.sys, \
d2 = "DELL PERC5 RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 32-bit)", \percsas.sys, \

[Defaults]
scsi = MSAS_32

[scsi]
MSAS_32	= "DELL PERC5 RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000",megasas
PERC_32	= "DELL PERC5 RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 32-bit)",percsas

id = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0015&SUBSYS_1F031028", "percsas"

[Files.scsi.MSAS_32]
driver  = d1, megasas.sys, megasas
inf	 = d1, oemsetup.inf, megasas
inf	 = d1, nodev.inf
catalog = d1, percsas.cat

[Files.scsi.PERC_32]
driver  = d2, percsas.sys, percsas
inf	 = d2, oemsetup.inf, percsas
inf	 = d2, nodev.inf
catalog = d2, percsas.cat

[Config.megasas]
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 20

[Config.percsas]
value=parameters\PnpInterface,5, REG_DWORD,1 
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 20

My params.txt (txtsetup.sif) has the following added to it:

[MassStorageDrivers]
"DELL PERC5 RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000"="OEM"
"DELL PERC5 RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 32-bit)"="OEM"


[OEMBootFiles]
megasas.pdb
megasas.sys
nodev.inf
percsas.cat
percsas.pdb
percsas.sys
oemsetup.inf
txtsetup.oem

I am stumped on this. I have read through most of your related forums but failed to find a similar problem. I have tried many variations including trying to make a driver package without the 2003 files with relavant sections of the txtsetup.oem file removed but either that just wont work or I stuffed my attempt, either way...

Just for completeness below is the oemsetup.inf file;

SUCCESS!, well kinda. I stripped out all mention of the percsas.sys and percsas.pdb from the oemsetup.inf file. I then removed all sections relating to the 2003 driver from the txtsetup.oem. The net result is that I now have two driver 'packages', one for 2000 and one for 2003. A small price to pay for sanity. It would have been nice to be able to draw some sort of useful conclusion from the experience but I think Ill have to settle with blaming Windows 2000 or the drivers themslves or something.

Just incase anyone cares enough to look, and partially cause I thik this CODE tag is cool, I have included the updated txtsetup.oem and oemsetup.inf below.

Thanks for listening.

Well I know with HP there are two lots of driver folders on their smartstart disks ie

compaq\drivers\w2k

compaq\drivers\wnet

I know that in the wnet folder it refers to some entries for win 2000 but these are different drivers in the w2k folder.

By the way do Dell supply a tool to confiquire the dell perc raid card in a winpe environment?

**ccullinan** · September 10, 2006

Really? You wouldnt have a link for said tool would you?

**bamos** · October 12, 2006

Hi - this is my first post and just have to say this site is awesome!

I had the same issue trying with the Perc drivers on a PE2950 - except I was trying to install XP (don't ask!). I tried for over a day to no avail. But simply copying the Win 2k inf's from here has worked, and worked extremely well. THANK YOU!

**pbarschall** · September 14, 2007

Hi,

This is also my first post.

I'm installing Windows XP Pro on a PowerEdge 2950 (I know, I know, it's not supported by Dell). I have gone through the usual hassle because the server doesn't let you load drivers (no floppy drive), but I found a neat way to use a USB Memory Stick to simulate the Floppy drive ("http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R140774&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=187876"), so now I have the PERC 5/i drivers available.

So my problem: XP loads fine, including partitioning and formatting the RAID 1 drives. It says everything loaded, but when it reboots the computer, I get the BSOD (Blue screen of death) with the error code 0x0000007b, meaning it doesn't recognize the hard drive/controller.

Anyone seen this before? I've been fiddling with the BIOS (Consistency Checks, booting off of different drives) and tried some different drivers (Win2000 drivers, XP drivers), and loading with XP SP2 instead of just XP. Every time, no matter what, I get stuck with BSOD.

It seems like the drivers are good for copying files, but won't let the drive be a boot drive. I've set the Virtual Disk 0 to the boot drive in BIOS, and loaded XP onto that drive, but that doesn't seem to improve anything.

Any suggestions? I'll take straws to grasp at...

Thanks!
