806E removed

and I am a mecanic.. not an IT guy.. grinz.

My only regret is that SamLab does not use ATI CPL (he removes them), and I think we actually still have no reports that the CCC or CCP work?

I don't blame SamLab for not testing that, because I too used to disable tray CPL after install. (DriverPacks BASE now has choice to not install CPL, and I love that.)
But? Does it work when you want it?

Hi
DriverPack MassStorage grew by requests.
These requested drivers will sometimes, later on, show as a problem device because the requester used  the driver to satisfaction and the testers did not have hardware so they could not try all combinations in BIOS settings for same chip.

Windows update driver database does not look (not yet, not yet methodoligically.) for conflicting HWIDs but it is entirely possible that OEM supplied drivers conflict with its own hardware, or itself.
(hmmm.. a diferent mask, or a deviant  revision can get a driver where the 'generic' was  not meant for it but it was still there.) .

Dear gentlebeings,
I am sure we do not want moderated submission approval when a user wants to submit a "testpack", but I also realise that having 3rd party DriverPacks ftp access code in the "public" has caused a few "mishaps" when non-team updated. (I mean the instances when non-team removed older releases.).

Over two months ago I looked at a 3dr party pack and saw a path-hog which is, to me, sign of ineptitude and totally in disregard to what a clean tested pack should be.
We do understand enthusiasts.
We should not allow that enthusiasts simply add their driver to a pack when it should have been an update (which means the Developer did not look at other content, across ALL DriverPacks.)
We should also not allow the wild growth of folder path names.
(a long name folder with long name nested folders is a poor substitute to proper update of the supported device list.)

I am not sure about how we can teach people to do it in a proper way.

We will eventually have to use a Dbase of sorts.
Of that I am sure.
the weakest point (and you have no idea how many hours of work went into supported device list on main DriverPacks..) is the Third Party DriverPacks supported devices list.
It will probably have to be get done by volunteers in the team. But, it will have to be teamwork.

A team-member looking at the collections and looking at a submission before approving a release (so it gets linked to in main 'sticky") can question and remedy the work.
I think nobody here wants to add a driver which creates issues and misery in another DP.

Hi,
I use DriverPacks primarily on disc based install. I wonder about the universal image utility you used.
Siginet's autoimage is recommended.

I have to say that DriverPacks mass storage will never be fully perfect.
Let me rephrase that.
DriverPacks mass storage cannot have ALL drivers and be perfect because some drivers just won't work no matter what we try.

C400?
bios is set to IDE? as default?

we need proof it is supported or not.
load order can also prove our INI setting load order musses ((fukks )) it up.

HI C400

Question 1;
Have you tried the link to latest testpack yet?

Question 2;
Have you tried to determine what driver this aspire 5100 uses? (if you can, please link to it.)

Question 3;
This for the the geeks ballroom.
The real oddbal is for geeks. Have you tried find out out what INI edit can do for you? Load order and/or elimination can help us find out about conflicts better than any database match can.
(( we sometimes read about conflicts and then do not get the detail. We have learned that duplicates are not the ONLY worry. ))

MSDN WITH RAID SUPPORT during TXTmode
first webblog article ever, here goes..

SLIPSTREAMED MSDN DVD with RAID support and other drivers integrated.

This post is about MSDN DVD versions (with the subscriber DVD's as source)

The intent was to make the DVD boot WITH RAID SUPPORT during TXTmode.

The DVD has a choice of FIVE operating systems. This is about the 32 bit versions.

XP; XP home sp2, XP pro sp2, Media Center Edition 2005  and SERVER; 2003 standard and enterprise.

I slimmed down the source.

For this DVD, The ISO files are not needed. (You can Zap them, or don't select these folders when you burn your compilation) .

For all XP versions; Migration tools folders were zapped. (or not selected.)

One needs only ONE support folder, so I moved the NTbackup folder one finds in Home into support, and called it HOME_NTbackup, then moved this support folder out of Home. I decided to keep one VALUEADD folder.
I now find support and valueadd folders in the folder where the three XP versions are in..

Another note, for MCE 2005, content of disc2 was moved to disc1. This was done because MCE setup asked for disc2 which interupted unattended.
note >>It was difficult to browse it to disc 2, so I changed that layout.
TIP, when you don't do that, and it asks for disc 2, just change the 1 to 2 in the line, that works easier than browse.

If you want unattended, put your WINNT.SIF files in the i386 folder.

Next came the real work.

1; N-Lite; Nlite out unused languages and keyboards in all five windows versions.

2; RVM; Slipstreamed Hotfixes and addons to MCE2005 and the XP versions. I did NOT DO server.

3; DPs_Base; Slipstream all driverpacks to each of the five versions. (method 2, select all button, KTD off, and QSC OFF.)

Then I moved one of the five OEM folder to ROOT of DVD (These folders have the same content, but after DPs_Base was used the setup process wants the OEM folder in ROOT.) I then deleted the other four unneeded copies of the OEM folders.

The tricky part was to get the textmode drivers work on all five.

Root of source has five small folders. They contain "textmode" content.

2ENL (enterprise 2003 dutch)

2SNL (standard 2003 dutch)

XHNL (home)

XMNL (MCE2005)

XPNL (pro)

COPY and OVERWRITE the most recently added/modified files from the respective i386 folders to their corresponding "textmode" folder.

Do not copy the driver.CAB.. This was done while sorted on date in detail view... (btw, RVM updated that file, not DPsBase.)

Then COPY and OVERWRITE the *.SY_ files from the i386 folders to the corresponding "textmode" folders. (sorted on TYPE in detail view) This is done so textmode will work.  Over a hundred additional mass storage devices get added to avoid F6 at boot.

4; prepare for burn.

Use isobuster to get the bootfiles off the source DVD.

Use nero to burn your compilation.

Use the bootfile from the MSDN DVD, no floppy emulation, sectors set to 4. Hex is 07C0.

No multisession, disc at once, finalise.. And burn.

Once you licked it, it sounds sooooo simple...

Hi
you can use this test pack.
Several people have been using it, and the only thing I see is that we was asked to update the VIA hyperion driver.

I was abroad for a while and felt like I could use some rest.
I will probably do the Via REQuest soon, and we may be able to test and then get it to release before end of June.

for google sake, let's post it again.
I will say this.. You will eventually spot the problems we created while we tried to solve a puzzle in this match up.
- - - - -
NVIDIA homework on LAN
(could still have errors and could have wrong ideas.)

<<<<< <<<<< means there is a secondary match with the corresponding controller for the PCI HWID in the same driver

example
{1a3e09be-1e45-494b-9174-d7385b45bbf5}\NVNET_DEV07DC
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07DC  <<<<< <<<<  because 07DC matches (as seen in 16.08)

When a combination like this is in a driverset, it should be compared to other combinations
In the ideal world, the newer combo has to be kept.

I think that when a PCI has no matching NVNET_DEV line in same driver set, and in an other you see it has, the combination should not be broken.
I also think that in such case, the PCI HWID without NVNET_DEV match must be commented.

You will find PCI HWIDS like PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_XXXX without such ..bbf5}\NVNET_DEVXXXX tied to it.
And you will also find ..bbf5}\NVNET_DEVXXXX lines with NO PCI\VEN.. tied to it.

PLEASE always try to find the newest possible combos.

--------------------

I will repeat, these findings are not the bible.
I had to eyeball. I was using techniques and some common sense just like any good Watson would.
I never said Watson was equal to Holmes. Holmes is a nobody. He has to explain the puzzle. Watson solves no puzzle without getting clues.

(There is no such thing as Hari Seldon.)

changelog in catalyst 8.6 is interesting.

((.. unresolved issues with via and other hardware like SiL 3112.. We should look up if nForce chipsets are in their changelogs as well.))
