By the way, did you generate a cache file for your drivers ?
It provides a significant increase of driver search speed:
$ cddriverPackDir
$ /path/to/unattended/dosbin/search-win-drivers.pl -g .
./search-win-drivers.cache
(The cache file has to be regenerated each time you modify anything in the
corresponding folder).
Hi, Pierre,
Spent the whole weekend as according to your instructions. All works now
and thanks.

Re: [Unattended] Downloading Drivers with config.pl Returns unmatch Hardware
Q. Is there an existing utility of which can automatically extract dp_*.7z drivers and set their proper permissions in /z/drivers/D? Thanks! try : cd unattended ant extract-drivers That is what I use Hi, Juanjo, But don't have ant and don't have extract-drivers in the 4.9 distro? I am using Pierre Bourgin's method which works nicely.

Re: [Unattended] Downloading Drivers with config.pl Returns unmatch Hardware
Hi, Pierre, Thanks for your detailed reply. search-win-drivers.pl, that produces the file netinst/logs/drivers.log is a kind of hardware scanner (as shown in the drivers.log output file). Okay! I reinstalled unattended-4.9 on our samba server as follows: cd /usr/src/ unzip unattended-4.9.zip unzip unattended-4.9-linuxboot.zip cd /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/tools/ ./script-update ./prepare cd ../drives # Extract using 7zr all dp_*.7z files If I run search-win-drivers.pl on my samba server: cd /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin ./search-win-drivers.pl -d ../drivers I was successful in getting the following: # 16 distinct hardware devices to consider. # # loading INF strings from Windows drivers collection... # - path: /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers # Parse .INF files below folder /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers ... # - parsed 592 .INF files, added 17587 INF strings. (no cache) # # Search matching drivers for current hardware platform... # 7 driver folders to use: /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/C/U /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/C/V /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/C/V2 /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/C/V3 /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/C/VX /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/L/V1 /usr/src/unattended-4.9/install/dosbin/../drivers/D/M/V3 It tells me that the search-win-drivers.pl works as expected. However, if I try to install using the pxe + linuxboot method, it fails to search for drivers and return 0 driver/folder to use: # Search matching drivers for current hardware platform... # 0 driver folders to use: I also copied ../os/winxpsp3/I386 and using a pristine OEM version of XP + SP3 (no nLite, RyanVM, etc.) with sample-config.pl copied to ../site/config.pl. Contents of unattend.txt didn't matter at this point as nt5x-install has not been called yet, no?
