Trying to add Adding sata drivers to mass storage in sysprep.inf

[lkeneston]

Hello,

I am trying to add a Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH) to the mass storage options on my sysprep image to add support for a HP XW4400,

I copied iaahci.cat, iaahci.inf, iastor.cat, iastor.inf, iastor.sys, and txtsetup.oem to the c:\windows\inf directory, and added

[sysprepMassStorage]

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106=c:\windows\inf\iaahci.inf ; Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106=c:\windows\inf\iaahci.inf ; Intel® 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106=c:\windows\inf\iaahci.inf ; Intel® 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106=c:\windows\inf\iaahci.inf ; Intel® 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104=c:\windows\inf\iastor.inf ; Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&CC_0104=c:\windows\inf\iastor.inf ; Intel® 82801ER SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH5R)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0&CC_0104=c:\windows\inf\iastor.inf ; Intel® 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104=c:\windows\inf\iastor.inf ; Intel® 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)

My image is still blue screening, any ideas?

I know this isn't a hal issue, as i use the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", ACPI PIC HAL (Halacpi.dll) on the base image and use a script to copy the right hal in.

any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

sysprep.txt

Not sure why the attachment is comming out that way, i uploaded it twice,

I assure you wordwrap is off, and it doesn't look that way in the inf

iy you save as and open in notepad it looks fine.

Add iastor.sys to i386 and rename it to iastor.sy_

[lkeneston]

in my c:\sysprep\i386?

[Mercury_22]

This is my way for CD installation,but it should be almost the same for you

1. Copy iastor.sys to i386 and rename it to iastor.sy_

2. Edit txtsetup.sif file from i386

[SourceDisksFiles] 
iaStor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 

[HardwareIdsDatabase] 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = "iaStor"

[SCSI.load] 
iaStor = iaStor.sys,4 

[SCSI] 
iaStor = "Intel(R) ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R)"
iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)"

3. Edit Winnt.sif and add path to drivers (Drivers\01_iata;......)

4.Add all .inf and .sys files to drivers folder (Drivers\01_iata)

Works for both RAID AND AHCI

[lkeneston]

I'll try that, but i am not sure that syspep uses txtsetup.sif, winnt.sif am i wrong? Doesn't the .sy_ just mean it is a cab and needs to be extracted?

[Mercury_22]

TXTsetup.sif it's for non GUI portion (text based portion) of the setup! and winnt.sif=sysprep.inf

Many are using MAKECAB for iastor.sy_ but i just rename it and it's working OK!

I understand that the winnt.sif is basically the same, its just that there is no text mode install in a sysprepped image.

I'll try that with the driver, but which i386?

The one on the root that i copied from the cd or the one in my sysprep directory

Thanks in advance,

Lee

You should not have to copy any of the files to the system, it should be handled by the Buildmassstoragesection=yes.

All yo uneed to enter is the HWID=InfPath leave the driver files with the inf and sysprep will install them.

[lkeneston]

I loaded the image back on my baseline box, resysprepped it, and it worked, not sure what happened. Thanks all.
