Blue screen during first boot on target

I've read the solutions to the 0x7B problem when booting XPe for the
first time on the target device, but I can only use ta.exe because of
the limitations of the target hardware. The target does not have IDE
connectors, and only boots via a Compact Flash card. I am wondering if
ta.exe is not getting enough information from the BIOS or is getting
the wrong information, as the creating an image using the
winlogon/minlogon sample works fine. Is it possible to run tap.exe on
the target machine somehow from the Compact Flash card (via WinPE or
BartPE running from the flash card)?

Any help is very much appreciated.

If you include all three Disk Drive components, the 'Standard Dual
Channel PCI IDE Controller', 'Primary IDE Channel' and 'Secondary IDE
Channel' components rather than hardware-specific options, you should
find everything works OK.
 
I remedied the problem by upgrading to XPe SP2 and then disabling the
ACPI component that was installed/added, and adding Standard PC
instead. I then disabled the hardware-specific IDE controller (ALi),
and added the 3 disk driver components, as well as the Standard Dual
Channel PCI IDE Controller, Primary IDE Channel, and Secondary IDE
Channel components. All is well now, I get to FBA and it goes through
ok.

Just thought I'd let anyone know who might be having similar problems
and are targeting machines with limited hardware.

Thanks again!
