RIS Problems with Compaq Evo (Ultra Slimline)

Hi,

I've been testing RIS for the past 2 months and it all seems to work fine,
with most of our hardware. However I've just tried to install windows 2000
to a Compaq Evo D51U (ultra slimline desktop) and received the following
blue screen error "Stop 0x00000BB - initialisation failure attempting to
boot from network".

The network card is an intel pro 100, which normally works fine with RIS.

These Evo's have been a problem in the past. For some reason you can't build
a hard disk then clone the disk for another evo, as it just fails with an
inaccessible boot disk error, each one has to be installed manually, which
takes a lot of time. I was hoping RIS would solve this problem. However it
looks like they are still going to cause problems.

I've searched MS site, however can't find anything on this problem. Can
anyone help?
 
Hi,

I have added the drivers for this NIC to the image, and it does boot of the
NIC and run setup, however it is after the initial setup screen, that I get
a blue screen of death with the error "Stop 0x00000BB - initialisation
failure attempting to boot from network", I do not get the error saying
"image does not contain drivers for your network adapter" which would
indicate missing drivers.

We are using that exact model at a custome site, and for that
particular OEM driver you'll either need to wither change the
[SourceDisksFiles] paths in the .INF files or actually copying in the
nic driver structure to the $oem$ structure...

If cossing the file structure scenario the structure should look like
this:
$oem$\drivers\nic\Windows\Drivers\IA32

Note: the INF files should be in $oem$\drivers\nic

If you choose to modify the .INF files the drivers should be place
directly in $oem$\drivers\nic

dont forget to add following lines to ristndrd.si
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
Oempnpdriverspath = \Drivers\nic\
DriverSigningPolicy = ignore

You can also try using the latest drivers from Intel for the Intel VE
NIC (works with the VM cards)
