NT unattended installation + Raid drivers


KJH

Recommended Posts

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.sys

Txtsetup.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, dac2nt4
inf    = d1, dac2nt4.inf

RESULT: 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,4

I removed "Mylex EXR2000/3000 & AR160/170/352 Disk Array Controller" = "OEM" from Winnt.sif

I edited dosnet.inf to include dac2nt4.sys

I updated setupdd.sys with newer version from SP3

RESULT: 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?
