I encountered the same problem last week. I use MDT to build our PCs and it injects the relevant drivers before the actual build starts and is done over the network and the problem started when we added the driver packs for the 790.

It appears that the chipset drivers for the 790 are compatable with the 620 and because it is a newer version decides to use these.
The problem seems to be that because the 790 doesn't have PATA connections just SATA it doesn't require any drivers for them so when a 620 reboots after installing the chipset it fails when trying to connect the CDROM which is connected to the PATA connection.
because MDT is done over the network i was able to just disable the PATA in the Bios and it then built without any problems.
i then installed the chipset for the 620 to install the PATA driver, rebooted to complete the install rebooted again and reenabled in the bios and all then worked fine.
currently trying to find the PATA driver to inject at the start of the MDT process so don't have to mess about with disableing and installing drivers again.
i know this won't help initially for people building PCs using CD but if you can find the PATA driver and then include in your install i believe it will solve your problem.
Hope this helps

OK, I'll delete those files from the next release.

Same problem here. I discovered that if the .inf used intelide.sys it would hang. If it used pciide.sys it would work fine.

For information, was having a similar issue with the intel drivers and sysprep images on a GX620.

deleting the "ich78id2.inf" and "ich78id2.cat" from the drivers folder before sysprep'ing the machine fixes the problem

if you have this problem and have already imaged it, boot to safe mode and delete these files from your drivers folder, 'uninstall' the ide controller, and re detect / manually install the driver from the "ich78ide.inf" file.

my 2p, hope that helps someone

You could try it and report back. It should have been fixed in 11.05.2 (& 11.06). I'm working on 11.07 right now, so please tell us if 11.06 still doesn't work.
For the record, this is the only difference:
ich78id2.inf uses intelide.sys (original XP system file)
ich78ide.inf uses pciide.sys (original XP system file)

Sorry to *bump* an old-ish post but may I just ask if this issue with GX620s Locking up on bootup is fixed with the latest Mass Storage and Chipset Driverpacks releases (11.06)?

The last install DVD I created using versions 11.04 of these 2 Driverpacks still freezes on GX620s. I tried updated the BIOSes to the latest A11 but that didn't help unfortunately.

Bl00dy GX620s are even wierd PCs on Dell's terms.

(excuse spelling last line - I meant "the latest ich78id2.inf", of course

Dont think its fixed
I have just tried the latest driverpacks on a Dell gx620 and it freezes the machine at attempted install of ich78id2.inf and subsequent corrupt/unbootable HAL.
I got round this by removing the ich78id2.inf/cat files which are in both DP_Chipset and DP_MassStorage zips. All subsequently installed smoothly.
(the altest ich78ids.inf didnt have the extra line return as suggested above as problem...

Well yeah.
This should already be fixed in 10.05.2. Please let us know if it is not.

OK, I modified the ich78id2.inf like techisgood148 reported and I'll upload as 10051 final.

Welcome to DriverPacks slckmstr!
Which version of DriverPack Chipset did you use that had the problem?

Hi, just registered because I've run into the exact issue with GX620 as mentioned by OP. I also used RyanVM All-In-One update packs in my install disk.

Does it seem likely that an older DP for chipset would fix the problem? I've seen another thread in this forum about a very similar issue, mentioning specifically the GX520 but also a mention of the GX620.
