the driver you gave me worked with F6 on the w2k3 cd, but not with UBCD or BartPE.
the intel assistant cd creates a preinstall environment in a temporary partition during the intstall.
i'm tempted to run the installer and stop it at this stage during this process to poke around those files.

Well.... 

What have I missed?  I've tried to get the drivers for the LSI raid on the S3000AH going in bartpe every way I can think of.
I've tried XP and 2003 server source files.   Driverpack 8.02.1 and standard bartpe driver adding.

I did put the drivers for a Intel S5000VSA board using the built in raid and it worked the first time on that board so I know I can do it.

I'm just missing something.  Any ideas will still be appreciated..
I know this is doable.. 

Thanks,

Kevin

Here is a link to my driver disk.

Let me know how it works.

Kevin

it worked on floppy w the W2K3 CD. i'll make a UBCD and see if it works with F6. thanks.

In fact the problem may be you have made your source no good for bartpe by useing nlite on it

Only Use a CLEAN source for bartpe

Let me know how it works.

\Windows\MegaIDE.sys caused and unexpected error (18) at line 2335 in d:\nt\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

The line # and path on D: change depending on which OS I boot with (W2k3, XP, UBCD4WIN, etc).

Sjayp,  I can use F6 and install the driver from a floppy disk.  You can't?

Kevin

The Assistant is a linux cd, but it does create a PE for W2K3 on a separate partition that is uses then removes. I am tempted to blow my server away again and look at what the Assistant creates. If I do, what should I look for and post here to help out? Thanks.

I guess I'll build it again using XP and test.

I anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks,

Kevin

On-Board SATA RAID
- Intel® Matrix Storage Technology supports software SATA RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5.
  Microsoft Windows® driver support only
? Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology and the LSI* Logic SATA controller
support software SATA RAID 0, 1 and 10.
  Driver support available for all supported operating systems

I'll try a fresh pebuilder with no other drivers and try it using 2003 source files and XP.  I've been using XP I believe.  It's been over a year since I created the first one.  I would have tried it today but we had two guys out and I didn't have time.

I'll report back..

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm using bartpe only.  I do have other mass storage drivers installed. Not LSI but several others.

For testing purposes, use driverpacks massstorage drivers only.
Do NOT add own massstorage drivers. They may interfere, results maybe confusing.

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3 remids to a ICH7R.

http://download.intel.com/support/mothe … ps_1_1.pdf
There is a  Intel  82801GR (ICH7R) mentioned, no addional massstorage controller.

This describes a 'Embedded SATA Software RAID for ICH7R'
http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com/serv … a-raid.pdf

Therefore a PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&SUBSYS_348F8086 use ICH7R hardware and LSI drivers.

Does a iastor.sys conflict exist?

DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_8022nightly_bartPEtest.7z :
"txtsetup.sif","HardWareIdsDatabase","PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27c3&SUBSYS_348F8086", """MegaINTL"""
sil 3132:
"txtsetup.sif","HardWareIdsDatabase","PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3132&SUBSYS_71321095", """3132R5C"""

Already integrated driver should work.
Try current test release. Again, do NOT add own massstorage drivers.

Do you use XP source files? Try 2003 source files too.

OverFlow knows UBCD4WIN a LOT better than I (he probably knows it inside out).
I just thought that the dupe INF names mess us up here. (Something OverFlow once mentioned, and the Mass storage Pack is primarily for disc install and the last few months a ton of drivers got added.)
I am a mecanic.. I make mistakes. I am not a mensa level know-it-all robot.
I need help from the real gurus.

sidenote
AFTER I uploaded it I ran three slipstream tests with that testpack you got a link to.
I have to do some more testing and one of them will be a UBCD4WIN plugin build and then I will run it os available hardware.
Which won't have your hardware, tho..

I can try the UBCD4win if you think it would be better in the long run.  I make a bartpe cd for whatever image I want to put on a computer.
It connects to our image server, logs in, runs whatever command I have in the penetconfig.ini to image.   We have used ghost for the last few years but now we're trying to switch to imagex since it's free.  The main difference is that I have to use diskpart now when Ghost didn't require that.
When we get a new Intel mobo and the nic won't work I just update the nic drivers and it always works.  I've had problems with the server boards starting with the Intel 7230 and now the S3000AH and the S5000VSA.  If the UBCD4win will make this stuff work I'll have to try it.

Do you think UBCD4win would work better for me??

Thanks,

Kevin
