Broadcom nic issue with RIS

[Guest]

Hi all. We just recieved HP D530 SFF and CMT as well as XW4100 machines with Broadcom netextreme gigabyte NIC's installed. After some juggling was able to get the RIS install of our XP pro image with SP1 to go but on first reboot after the text portion where it enters the GUI phase it comes up saying setup is restarting and generates an error related to Lsass.exe stating "path invalid"or an "invalid parameter was passed to a service or function." This will continually loop through this until you power the machine off. I tried a repair on the install but it makes no difference. tried it on any of our machines that have intel pro nics and the install still works fine. I am assuming there is an issue with the NIC drivers for broadcom Has anyone come across this issue with these nics at all? There is lots of stuss on Lsass and what it is generally is but can't find a solution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciate

"anyone had this issue?"

With RIS, no as we do not use it. But, you do need the newer Broadcom inf
for the box. For Sysprep images, we added the b57xp32.inf, b57xp32.cat and
b57xp32.sys to a directory in our DevicePath (PnP). We also had to update
the driver in Windows PE.

thanks George...I did download the most recent drivers for both XP and 2000 in order to get the base RIS xp image to install. Would have been nice if the powers to be ordered consistent hardware platforms. Have not had any issues with Intel Nics and documentation is atleast out there for those products.
