Hi, Pierre, Thanks for your detailed reply.

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?
Thanks,
Kwon
