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?
