I verified with Oveflow, for Jmicron we use drivers from their official ftp so no change has been made to the INF file. So it was a DriverImport issue.

Yep, I agree. Knowing what we know from the example of this thread, Driver Import PE should simply ignore/skip the "reboot" line if encountered. That is, don't take for granted that a "reboot" is essential for PE environment to actually get a working device.

As always, thanks for testing, Lancelot!

Galapo.

OverFlow

dipe now deletes all reboot lines in inf now, working great, new version online.
I also create a new topic for announcement for forum.driverpacks.net (i guess it is a good idea, if not please delete any post-topic you want)

we will remove the ones that do not belong (like this jmicron) from the packs...

re: Special thanks to galapo, as usual
Yes... as ususal

Have a great day
and please accept our warm welcome, to both you and Kare

PS i am now following you that hostospe
can be read as "the currently booted Bartpe OS"

That is excellent to know and explains why my bartpe plugin works

(it is obvious registry entrys are not required for mass storage
the text mode drivers are used for PE and those do not require registry entries
[there is not even a registry available yet @ text mode ] )
this is intentional because loading the PnP driver resets the bus and most likely will BSOD
there are of course exceptions...

We still need to get this fixed

Overflow:

yep i think as you write too, i guess dipe will delete reboot line before installing to hostospe.

Thanks for concern

Special thanks to galapo, as usual

recent news:
only deletion of Reboot is enough,

in otherwords

Changing DP JRAID_I.inf [JM] section:
CopyFiles=JRAID.Copy
Reboot

CopyFiles=JRAID.Copy

is enough

I belive the INF's should be as provided by the OEM...

If they have been changed then we need to change them back...
if that is the way they were provided then that is the way they should be...
there are cases where this is not possable... we can deal with that when we get there

Please let us know if any other strange problems occur...
We will be glad to either fix them, or help you to find a workaround.

In this case the issue is a bug in our pack... we will fix it!
if you find more we will fix those too!

so you guys don't need to do anything (you can tweak your pack for now)
we will include this fix in the next nightly and post here so you can test it

YES Galapo,

Changing DP JRAID_I.inf [JM] section:
CopyFiles=JRAID.Copy
Reboot

CopyFiles=JRAID.Copy
Addreg=Inst.AddReg

makes it work
Also i noticed xraid_f.inf have same line too, so i change with same method and it worked too. When dipe searches in package, it first finds JRAID_I.inf than xraid_f.inf, both working with this fix and i guess makes the same thing. Only with xraid_f.inf it writes "GIGABYTE GBB36X Controller" on the screen.

Anyway, now question is what is next step???
I made a rough seach, and there are about 53 .inf files that have REBOOT line
IS dipe change reboot lines with Addreg=Inst.AddReg before adding driver to hostos appropriate?????
or what is the appropriate method???

ps: Kare reads this topic regularly.

ps: Out of topic: Galapo, Maybe that is the reason of my failure when trying "Off Line SysPrep Tool" looong time ago.

Well, if there's no help or feedback when it's needed, then that isn't helping the exceedingly useful project that DriverPacks is. Just my thoughts.

Thanks for your work, too!

Understood now. I can add something on that too.

I was looking for a topic for your Offline sysprep and i did not see it in universal imageing or in software

Re: Driver Import PE - Need Help for Software Development

null@example.com (Galapo) — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 05:54:19 +0000

OK, will do. I'm sure there's others who will benefit from being made aware of this.

But what do you mean about me having a sticky?
