Ya, there is always some nut in the world doing something they should not be doing!

Anycase, I got a driver from LSI - SAS3442X_XP_WHQL_MID1211705 that is for the SAS 5x that is for XP [with the oem.txt file in it].

Thanks anyways!

We could create a workaround for that, there is however not much point in doing so since this Controller is meant to be used on servers.
I therefore added the Windows 2003 version of this driver.

Well, I am one that needs to install this driver for a Dell 1950 SAS 5 Non-RAID under XP Pro. We are bascially using it as a workstation.

But if I want to use this during XP install [after hitting F6] do I not need a txtsetup.oem file? If so, could I have one - pretty please?

Ok, the LSI SAS 1068 driver will be implemented in the next version of DP masstorage.
Only for windows 2003 though, i am unable to find a windows xp version of that driver with the same hardware id's.

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files … 24682.html (saved: cp00630.exe)
driver for xp not present on the hp site. possible is this: http://www.uniwide.co.kr/n2board/?doc=b … dd6e67cdf8

I have implemented both the windows xp aswell as the w2k3 version of this SAS driver. It already is in the latest driverpack masstorage (7.01.1).

The driver "symmpi.sys" is already being used in windows xp by "LSI Adapter, FC 4000 series, Dual or Quad port (with 929)".
I could ofcourse give it another ms_1_tag name, but still, during textmode 2 symmpi.sys drivers will then be loaded. Will this not confict?

No, it won't, I'm using this exact same method for working around THREE files named htp3xx, two named si3112r (tagnames: si3112r and ati3112r, you will definitely recognize those), etc.).

That work-around is super-easy to implement... Without looking at the driver, it would look like this:

ms_count 			= 1
ms_1_deviceName		= "Dell SAS 5x Controller Driver (Windows XP 32-bit)"

ms_1_tag			= "lsi_sas"

ms_1_sysFile		= "lsi_sas.sys"
ms_1_hwids			= "PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F041028,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F061028,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F071028,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F081028,PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F091028"
ms_1_isBusExtender	= false	
ms_1_exc_skipIfOS	= "w2k,w2k3"

Notice the "ms_1_tag" line. This would be sufficient. Yes, that is the exact same tag as is used for the Windows Server 2003 driver, but that driver won't be slipstreamed into XP due to the "ms_1_exc_dkipIfOS" line, so in fact there won't be a conflict at all!

Ruud will see if its possible to add them both.

So not so fast with the [REJECTED] Bashrat.
