risproblems Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have been having a problem getting 3rd party device drivers to work on my RIS server. I have tried several client images and have configured the RIS server from scratch twice now. Every time I get to just after the CIW and receive the error: Operating system image does not contain the nessisary drivers for your network adapter.Here is a copy of my sif file. The drivers are in the $oem$\$1\dell\drivers folder under, not IN the i386 folder. I flattened the driver folder out so all of the files like inf cab and cat files are located in the same folder.I can't think of anything else to do. I would greatly appreciate any help I could recieve on this. We have a lot of laptops to image and this would save us a whole lot of man hours.

Br4tt3 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 First of all - this thread is in the wrong forum, should move it into the RIS forum!Second, the .sif file looks pretty screwed p according to me..... ur problem comes from the fact that u have not supplied the needed .sys and the .inf files for the NIC to ur RIS image's i386 folder or the .inf file u have supplied must be edited to support booting from an RIS environment. Most manufacters release drivers for there NIC's that have a specific .inf file that supports RIS booting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risproblems Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thank you for the help. I have tried to specify the inf but not the sys. I have also not looked for drivers specificly for ris installation. Thank you for the insite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
