Hi!

I´m trying to create an unattended setup for Windows 2000 on a Dell
Precision 350 Workstation. However, I have massive problems integrating the
SCSI driver for "LSI Logic 1020/1030" adapters.

Here´s what I´ve done up to now:

- copied the i386 files to the local hard drive (under DOS, first created
partition/formatted, then copied i386 to C:)
- created the Unattended.txt file.
- copied the driver files for W2k to i386\$OEM$\Textmode
- edited the txtsetup.oem file so it points to the current folder. (removed
sub folders)

I start setup using winnt.exe /s:c:\i386 /unattend:C:\unattend.txt

Setup runs until after the first reboot. After "Windows 2000 is starting"
the PC locks up with a BSOD STOP error. (07B) - this basically means that
for some reason the driver was not found. (according to MS KB)

I´ve tried this procedure with another adapter/driver on another machine and
it works. So I don´t understand what I´ve done wrong with this one.

Here´s the unattended file (only the sections that count here..)

;SetupMgrTag

Anyone have a clue why Windows doesn´t find the driver?

Thanks for any input!

What you describe should work. Perhaps there is something wrong with
your TXTSETUP.OEM file; send it along if you want someone to look at
it.

I cannot help but mention that my installation system automatically
scans $OEM$\TEXTMODE, parses TXTSETUP.OEM, and generates the
appropriate unattend.txt file automatically. If you would like to
give it a try, see <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/>.

You also might find my rant helpful, even though it mostly applies to
Windows XP:

In particular, you might look around under $WINNT$.~BT and $WINNT$.~LS
after the failed installation to make sure the driver files and
txtsetup.oem file got copied properly.
