OEM SCSI drivers and RIS

G

Guest

Hello all,
I have a working Windows 2003 RIS server that I can use to deploy XP SP2 to
systems with IDE drives and it is working perfectly.
We have purchased several IBM Intellistation M Pro systems for which I need
to load an OEM SCSI driver (adpu320.sys) in order for the C: drive to be
recognized and I'm not able to make it work. I have not been able to make
this work and have found and been through the articles below.

314479 - How to Add OEM Plug and Play Drivers to Windows XP
314859 - Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during Windows XP
and Windows Server 2003 setup
315279 - How to Add a Third-Party OEM Network Adapter to an RIS Installation

The process fails at the "starting windows" phase of the setup with the
error below.

Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make
sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your
computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This
may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.
Setup cannot continue. To quit setup press F3.

I have also tried adding a config.nt in the system32 folder of the RIS image
but that has not helped.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lane

Welcome to the group, Lane

Yeah, the RIS installation files for SCSI don't belong in the $OEM$ folder
for the text mode install. You can put them there for the subsequent GUI
portion of the install, however. You need to look at either
OemPnpDriversPath or by modifying txtsetup.sif.

Here is a good site to find your answers:

Here are a few snippets of threads that I thought might be of interest:

I have the following working for my unattended builds on IBM servers using
the IBM ServeRAID 4X Controllers. It's been a while since I have looked back
at this but I do remember having some problems initialy. I recall there was
some doco from IBM relating to the serveraid cards in w2k unattended
install.


I have all the drivers placed in i386\$oem$\textmode.
dir list:
IBMNFRD.CAT
NFRD960.SYS
nfrdci.dll
NFRDPERF.SYS
OEMSETUP.INF
TWINTAIL.SYS
TXTSETUP.OEM


My txtsetup.oem is below.


I hope this helps you... otherwise make sure you take a look at IBM support.


[Disks]
d1 = "IBM ServeRAID Device Driver Diskette", \NFRD960.SYS


[Defaults]
scsi = NFRDWin2k32


[scsi]
NFRDWin2k32 = "IBM ServeRAID 4M/4Mx/4L/4Lx Controller (Windows 2000 and
XP-Beta Servers)"


# If you hit F6 and specify to load an OEM driver, NT loads the first driver
in
# the list. If you don't hit F6 and specify to load an OEM driver, NT loads
# the last driver in the list.


[Files.scsi.NFRDWin2k32]
driver = d1, nfrd960.sys, NFRD960
driver = d1, twintail.sys, TWINTAIL
driver = d1, nfrdperf.sys, NFRDPERF
driver = d1, nfrd960.sys, NFRD960
catalog = d1, ibmnfrd.cat
inf = d1, oemsetup.inf


[Config.NFRD960]


[Config.IPSRAIDN]


[Config.TWINTAIL]
value = "", Group, REG_SZ, "System Bus Extender"


[Config.NFRDPERF]
value = "", DependOnGroup, REG_MULTI_SZ, "SCSI Class"
# Use CDROM class instead of filter class so that diskperf works w/o any
tweaking.
value = "", Group, REG_SZ, "SCSI CDROM class"


[HardwareIDs.scsi.NFRDWin2k32]
id = "PCI\VEN_1014&DEV_01BD", "nfrd960"

Reply: Thank you very much.it really works.i took out
[MassStorageDrivers] and [OemBootFiles] section from the
winnt.sif file.
