PCI-Express NIC support when using RIS?

G

Guest

I'm attempting to RIS a Toshiba Tecra A3, which uses a Marvell Yukon 88E8036
PCI Express Fast Ethernet Controller. This is the first system I've received
that uses PCI-Express. I've added the custom drivers, as I always have and am
still receiving the operating system image you selected does not contain the
necessary drivers for your network adapter message.

I suspect my issue is to do with NIC being PCI-Express based. Can anyone help?

Can't say for sure that this would help for a PCIx card, but did you
just do the $OEM driver bit? Or did you put the drivers in I386 then
restarted the BINL service? There has been a few times where I had to
drop drivers into the I386 dir to get things going. You may want to try
that.

The methods outlined in these documents is the method I've been using. Every
driver, with the exception of this one, has worked without fail.

I figured out my problem. You need to make two edits to the .INF file.

%Marvell% = Marvell, NT.5.1, NT.5.2
