I want to create a hardware independent image with Sysprep and ghost.
I have 2 machine models that cause a problem.
We use Dell Optiplex GX520 and Dell Optiplex 745
Both machines have an USB interface for keyb. And mouse.
Both the machines have the same HAL
When I create an image staring from the Optiplex 745 I end up with NO
keyboard and mouse during mini setup on the Optiplex GX520 and when I start
building the image from GX520 I end up with NO keyb. and mouse on the
Optiplex 745

Can anyone help?

Same problem here...how long are you letting the sysprep go? Usually
after 10 minutes when it "locks up" it continues on without a problem
with keyboard support.

Hey
The problem was that the pc was blocked on the welcome screen in the mini
setup and I did not have a keyboard or mouse to continue. No matter how long
I waited I did not get any keyboard or mouse.
I have found 2 setting that I can add in the sysprep.inf file so that I can
skip the welcome screen and the EULA screen. The PC immediately starts
detecting the hardware and by the time it asks me to enter the computer name
the keyboard is detected.
This might not be the most perfect solution but it does the trick for me

Ah, I already have those lines in my sysprep.inf. That would explain
it. Once the mini-setup enumerates the hardware, keyboard support is
not a problem. I think this is "normal" behavior on the Dells.
