Silicon Image SiI 3x12 Raid problem

T

The Vibe

Hi
I have a Asus A7N8X mainboard with a onboard Silicon Image 3112 chip. I have
2 sata disks connected as raid 0
I created a component of the silicon image drivers which seems to be fine
and inserted it into my build. When i deploy the image on the systems it
goes through the FBA setup fine. After the reboot the systems gets a 0x7b
blabla something like that message. I've tried the same build on the normal
ide controller with another disk and then it works fine. When i look in the
device manager then there is a raid controller in there but not the silicon
image..
Does somebody haves any idea? solution?

Hello,

This is highly unusual that you can go trough FBA and that after that you
have 7B error.

If I were you I would start analyzing inf files or your drivers. For some
reason FBA PnP changes some values in your registry to bad values.
Like Group or Start entries.
Load your offline post FBA registry and make sure that Start entry for your
driver is 0.
Also try using /SOS and kernel debugger for tracing device driver stack.

Check inf file for Start value and make sure that it is 0.
When i look in the device manager then there is a raid controller in there
but not the silicon image..

I don't understand this part. I guess that this is not on XPe image right?

Regards,
Slobodan

It's seems the inf. is ok.

What I mean is that I copied the build on the ide disk and booted from it.
Then the system starts up normally. But then raid controller is not diplayed
as Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATARaid like it is in a normal XP install but as
a "SCSI/RAID controller". No partitions on the raid config are accesible.
Somehow the driver is not right installed during the FBA or maybe the
component of the driver is not right.
This is where I got the driver.

Hi,

1. Go to Asus site and download drivers for your board.
Perhaps:
http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=A7N8X-E Deluxe
2. Extract all files.
3. Locate XP driver files.
4. Since you said that your image can pass FBA then you should copy driver
files to their folders only. (From TD or manually for testing)

If it is not working with them. Analyze of attach to this NG fba.log and
setupapi.log files.

Slobodan
