Creating a SCSI Disk Component Help

[Guest]

He guys,

Most of you have helped me in the past and so I've begun helping other
people with problems I run into. However, I am the one in the need of help
this time.

I have never made a component before, and right now it is critical.
I have to make a scsi device component for an LSI Logic Scsi Device. I have
tried the ones in the XPE repository but I got the notorious Stop 7B error
which I'm positive is the scsi controller.

I have opened component designer and created a new sld. I used the inf
importer to imort the inf for the device. I saved the sld then used
component database manager to import the sld. It said that all changes have
been committed and the Import Succeeded.

Now when I go to search for the device in TD, I get a serries of, cannot
find filename.cat, filename.sys etc in the following search paths. I'm
guessing I just forgot to actually include the files. How do I add them, is
there a way that all those files can be packaged into the LSI.sld?

In need of a little guidance. Thanks all for your help.

BTW does anyone have a lightweight way to post/read this newsgroup I can't
stand using this MS interface.

Hi Mark,

You need to create a repository for your component and place the files from
the driver package there. Follow this tutorial for creating a component and
adding a repository.

Use groups.google.com You need a gmail account, if you don't have one I
can send you an invite. The starred messages are worth it alone, and
the price is right.

Don't forget to associated your component with the repository (click on
the main component node and there will be a repository section) this
got me the first time.

I can post screen-shots if need be.
