sysperp sp2 PNP dectection not working

[BobSS]

I have made a CD with WinXP SP2 integrated into the CD. I install the OS
from this CD. OS installs fine. I load the WinXP SP2 deploy.cab tools that
include the newest version of sysprep.exe. I run sysprep.exe with these
command line options:
sysprep.exe -quiet -pnp -reboot -reseal -mini -activated. Sysprep runs fine
except it does not do a PNP detection. I know its not doing a PNP detection
because when the OS comes up the first time I checked the device manager to
see if the correct chipset drivers were installed, and they were not. I also
the OS has the correct drivers on it because it installed them the first I
installed the OS. I also noticed that when mini setup was running it usually
takes about 5 minutes for PNP detection to complete. Using the SP2
sysprep.exe it took less than a minute. Can someone please shed some light
on this.


Thanks in advance.

Hello Bob,
First do not use the PNP switch. This is for legacy PnP only, it is not
needed except in very limited legacy device situations.
Second try without the quiet switch to see if any errors are generated.
Third what's in the sysprep.inf file.
Are the chipset drivers included or an out-of-box driver package?
Check the setupapi.log file for driver installs including chipset drivers,
errors may cause this.
Is the hal correct for the image that can cause issues like proper PnP
detection?
Thanks,
