Now jtdoom can send his mobo in RMA.

How did you slipstream the DriverPacks?

Please run the BASE in debug mode by doing this:
1) close the BASE if it's still running
2) edit your DPs_BASE.ini like this:

[General]
debug = "yes"

3) run the BASE and let it slipstream the DriverPacks.
4) Post your DPs_BASE.log files!

The BASE doesn't look for HDD's at all... Please post a screenshot, because I really don't understand how you have gotten into this.

Does DPsFnshr.7z get extracted to %SystemDRive% properly?

Please post your DPs_BASE.log, willko.

Another bug was reported for the previous version of the BASE (which also existed in 7.01.3), which would only occur in the Finisher if you had KTD enabled. download

DriverPack MassStorage was updated as well, with several small bugfixes, as well as a driver update and some new drivers. changelog - download

You may have noticed the ridiculous pace at which we're releasing bugfix releases. We decided that in this case, it was more important to get a fast update out than to test it extensively. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Nope still same problem with 7.01.5 sad

Did you clear the QuickStream Cache for DP MassStorage?

My bad, I should have mentioned that in the news item! I've now added it to both the news item of version 7.01.4 and 7.01.5:

UPDATE: If you have enabled QuickStream Cache and did slipstream DriverPack MassStorage 7.01, you will have to delete the directory "QSC\wnt5_x86-32_uni_DP_MassStorage_701_textmode".

Delete the tmp directory and then that should work indeed.

Hm, interesting, it is trying to CAB compress a .sys file while DP MassStorage is not even present, nor did you enable it to be slipstreamed... Will try to reproduce this.

Could this also be linked to the QSC directory needing to be cleared after a base pack update? That is what I found to be the problem with the missing atiide.sy_ in the MassStorage DP?

Thanks,
Dean

It doesn't have to be cleared, but yes, it was actually necessary after the update to DriverPacks BASE 7.01.4 (or if 7.01.5 if you skipped 7.01.4)... I will update the news items to mention that.

Unable to reproduce this...

The windows xp version of the Dell 5IR SAS driver is not "lsi_sas.sys" but it is "symmpi.sys".
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.).

XP driver seems not be an option, since it will confict with an existing .sys file from a driver called "LSI Adapter, FC 4000 series, Dual or Quad port (with 929)".
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.

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!

All solved now, topic closed.

isnt 6.40 already in it?

Nope, see the DP MassStorage 7.01 changelog:

- VIA RAID Controllers driver updated from 10/25/2005, 5.1.2600.520 [5.20] to 11/08/2006, 5.1.2600.540 [5.40a] (Muiz)

But this driver is already implemented, as the topic title says, but this topic wasn't closed just yet. Now it is.

No crossposting please, Davvan.

Strange.... I didn't get any complaints during my tests. Will fix this ASAP.

@dolivas & muiz: this issue is completely unrelated to any new version of DP MassStorage, the last BASE and the CURRENT MassStorage DP should work together flawlessly.

@Friends4U: Will look into this ASAP, though it did work properly for 3 testers.

A small bug crawled into the previous 7.01.3 release, which is immediately squashed by this update. Thanks to ruudboek for notifying me of this!

UPDATE: If you have enabled QuickStream Cache and did slipstream DriverPack MassStorage 7.01, you will have to delete the directory "QSC\wnt5_x86-32_uni_DP_MassStorage_701_textmode".

DriverPacks BASE 7.01.3 has just been put online.

A major bug in the slipstreaming of DP MassStorage text mode drivers was fixed in this release, as well as several other smaller bugs. Check the changelog for details.

UPDATE: If you have enabled QuickStream Cache and did slipstream DriverPack MassStorage 7.01, you will have to delete the directory "QSC\wnt5_x86-32_uni_DP_MassStorage_701_textmode".

I probably should have started a new thread.
My issue was happening when I was using the DPs_BASE program to create the UAXP install CD, not during XP setup.

Dave

Please do so, separate issues, separate topics.

This one has become a mess now.
