KJH Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Does anybody know how to integrate Mylex raid drivers to NT4 unattended installation CD. CD works well, only raid driver integration causes problems. I have tried almost everything without luck. I have tried following tricks:1) I put Mylex driverfiles(txtsetup.oem, dac2nt4.inf, dac2nt4.sys) to $oem$\textmode directory, edited winnt.sif with following lines:[MassStorageDrivers]"Mylex EXR2000/3000 & AR160/170/352 Disk Array Controller" = "OEM" "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"[OEMBootFiles] dac2nt4.inf txtsetup.oem dac2nt4.sysTxtsetup.oem looks like this:; txtsetup.oem - This file contains descriptions of all; Mylex Disk Array Controllers supported; in Windows NT 4.0 (x86).;; Version - 3.2; Date - 09/11/2001;; Copyright (c) 1994-2001, IBM Corporation[Disks]d1 = "Mylex Driver Diskette (Windows NT 4.0)", \dac2nt4.sys, \[Defaults]scsi = MDAC2[scsi]MDAC2 = "Mylex EXR2000/3000 & AR160/170/352 Disk Array Controller"[Files.scsi.MDAC2]driver = d1, dac2nt4.sys, dac2nt4inf = d1, dac2nt4.infRESULT: Gives error in boot"File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1041 in F:\nt\private\ntos\boot\setup\oemdisk.c", ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2)Edit the txtsetup.sif with lines from txtsetup.oem and copy dac2nt4.inf to i386 directory. I added these lines to txtsetup.sif:[SourceDisksFiles] dac2nt4.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1 [SCSI] MDAC2 = "Mylex EXR2000/3000 & AR160/170/352 Disk Array Controller" [SCSI.Load] MDAC2 = dac2nt4.sys,4I removed "Mylex EXR2000/3000 & AR160/170/352 Disk Array Controller" = "OEM" from Winnt.sifI edited dosnet.inf to include dac2nt4.sysI updated setupdd.sys with newer version from SP3RESULT: NT4 loads Mylex driver put littlebit later gives blue screen with message Error in setupdd.sys. I tried to use updated version of setupdd.sys without luck.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm really out of ideas now. So can somebody please help me?
