webmedic Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 there is a major problem with adding hotfixes in the svcpack.inf. I know it's the proper way but after working with a microsft employee for a few weeks on this some other guys in another department told him that they were not really made for it and it will break things that is why I no longer work o nthe hotfix scripts I was doing and also why I just use cmdlines.txt to install everything now. There is nothing wrong with svcpackinf for the other things but cmdlines.txt is easier to use and since the hotfixes are broken I find no need to use svcpack.inf. You will find the last roll up is probably a direct result of the work we were doing when we found out how broke the hotfixes are.I hope this info helps you all as we found some major problems with it. I did however get some other goodies that work very well but the hotfixes will never slopstream and apply right and they cause other issues. For instance I hope you all are running a lejit copy of windows beacuse if you aren't in about 6 months to a year you are going to hate life. Well you will hate it if you love windows. This is going to be so bad. If you love windows you will go buy a copy but you will loose all your data on your hard drive. If you are borderline now you will go get linux.

Alanoll Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 webmedic could you describe you way of bootscreens in more detail?as for the other method, since there are two main different kernels, one for multiprocessor and one not, how can you do the boot screen change if you don't know which to use on the computer?how can you put it directly into the i386 folder? to replace the ntoskrnl?

Geckotek Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hmmm....the boot screen didn't work for me. Gonna try again soon.I would also like to see info on changing the logon screen. It should be similar right?Thanks for all your hard work bor3d! GJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 The logon screen is a little different. I *think* that the logon screen is located in a dll file somewhere. But i dont know what one exactly. Im sure when we find out, it'll be as simple as changing the bitmap using reshacker, and throwing it back in your windows drive. Just like the setup screens.

Alanoll Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 uh....for logon screen, are you refering to the welcome screen logon screen thats fills the screen? or the classic?the WinXP style logon with the clickable buttons for users is in logonui.exeSomeone else describing that logoni'm still interested in hearing about webmedic's bootlogo and about the multiple kernels in winxp and having boot screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmedic Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I dont rememebr saying naything about boot logo's specificly. I think I ment more that I would like to use the method gosh was refering to. But there is also a little app I use now that lets me change boot logos and login screens and it is free. I rather like it. It's something you use after you setup windows though and not as part of the install as gosh was suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 i'm using bootxp works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 ah pooh.any solution to the multiple kernels? or just hold hands and pray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 bootcfg /RAW /A / Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe /ID 1bootcft /Timeout 0this should be bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe" /A /ID 1bootcft /Timeout 0thats what works on mine anyway. The original didn't work and gave an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckotek Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 bootcfg /RAW /A / Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe /ID 1bootcft /Timeout 0this should be bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=OEMKrnl.exe" /A /ID 1bootcft /Timeout 0thats what works on mine anyway. The original didn't work and gave an error WOW! Finally figured out the problem here. I haven't been able to get this working all along.Both you guys have a typo. In the second line, bootcft should be bootcfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 this is true....loli'm trying to make a script to auto select the right kernel for dualpro and single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 good eye, i thought i was the only one that used that command.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachus Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Sorry if this ends up being a repost as I just got an error when I tried to post and refreshing the thread didn't display a new message...Anyway, does anyone know a command I could use with bootcfg to add an entry to boot a logical drive? I'm using this guide to use the NT loader to boot Gentoo and I'm hoping I can avoid messing around with the MBR this way (which I'd have to do if I went with LILO or Grub).
