Hi muiz,

Hi again,

one more thing:

as has been posted in the MSFN forum, you need to expand the compressed dl_, ex_, sy_ etc. files while keeping the "_" at the end of the extension otherwise dism will throw an error ...

Hi !

New driver for Marvell Chipset:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDi … iverId=206 (x86)
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDi … iverId=207 (x64)

It says that its for Windows 7 but the inf is for Vista/W7 together.

Bye,
Alex

Hi muiz,

wouldn´t it be better to add W7 drivers to the Vista driverpacks instead of making  seperate W7 driverpacks ? You could name them Vista_W7 driverpacks .... W7 is just an "update" to Vista (NT 6.1 vs 6.0), both are very similar technically and most cpmpanies will have one driver for both OSes anyway.

Hi muiz,

I made a screenshot of the vmware scsi device (under the node disk drives). your screenshot is from the storage controllers node. so this is no proof :-)

Thanks !

Hi muiz,

I did not say at once but I do slipstream the drivers into all available images of a wim. From my script:

 

REM Create Indexfile of wim
"%WaikTools%\imagex.exe" /info %WinImagex32% > "%AIWTempx32%\indexinstallwim.txt"

REM FIND OUT IMAGECOUNT OF INSTALL.WIM
for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('find /I "Image Count" "%AIWTempx32%\indexinstallwim.txt"') do set ImageCountMax=%%a

REM START WITH INDEX1 for IMAGECOUNT
set Index=1

REM SET STARTPOINT FOR INDEX LOOP
:startindex32

REM MOUNT WINDOWS IMAGE (install.wim) WITH CERTAIN INDEXCOUNT
IF %WinOS%==Windows7 %dism% /Mount-Wim /Wimfile:%WinImagex32% /index:%Index% /MountDir:%Mount%
IF NOT %WinOS%==Windows7 "%WaikTools%\imagex" /mountrw %WinImagex32% %Index% %Mount%



ECHO Integrating Driverpacks into install.wim Image %Index% of %ImageCountMax% ... 
ECHO Please be VERY patient ...

REM INTEGRATE DRIVERPACKS
IF %WinOS%==Windows7 %dism% /image:%Mount% /apply-unattend:%DriversSource%\Driversxml\drivers_installwim_x32.xml
IF NOT %WinOS%==Windows7 start "" /wait %pkgmgr% /o:%Mount%;%Mount%\Windows /n:%DriversSource%\Driversxml\drivers_installwim_x32.xml

REM UNMOUNT WINDOWS IMAGE (install.wim)
IF %WinOS%==Windows7 %dism% /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:%Mount% /commit
IF NOT %WinOS%==Windows7 "%WaikTools%\imagex" /unmount /commit %Mount%

REM IF INDEX IS LESS THAN MAX.IMAGECOUNT THEN ADD 1 TO INDEX AND GO BACK TO LOOP START
if %Index% LSS %ImageCountMax% set /A Index=%Index%+1 & goto :startindex32

Thats just part of my script. It also automatically creates those drivers.xml files that Vista needs depending on the location of the drivers folder. The whole thing is a bit different for Win7.

I know it is just a commandline process, nothing advanced like C or vbs or powershell but it works.
So things are indeed possible ....

Hi guys,

I would call the Vista driverpacks section something like Vista-Win7 driverpacks section. Sooner or later, people will come flying to Windows 7 and then it won´t be such a pariah anymore :-) I myself use Win7 build 7056 exclusively now and except for some minor bugs have no complaint whatsoever.

Even Vista was not that bad over the last few months once you set your mind to it and learned a few new ways but it certainly was different from XP and we all know that people won´t learn new things unless they have to or unless they gain some profit from it. Hopefully Win7 will bring enough profit so people will adopt it.

As for the Vista driverpacks:

muiz, I really, really (really !) appreciate your efforts and your quick response to new driver updates etc.
I hope you can see that my reporting of bugs or problems is meant to help make the driverpacks better, it´s not just whining. :-)

I would very much like the Vista/Win7 driverpacks to go the driverpacks Base route with logging/testing etc.
It does work currently (at least I have found no major problem on my pcs except for the one jraid driver update) but it may be different on some other hardware or with different drivers.

If I can help in any way (I am no programmer except for some very light scripting but I can test) please tell me !

Bye,
Alex

PS: I m not using the Vistatool by the way because it does not work unattendedly and won´t integrate the drivers into all images of a wim (you have to do this manually one by one). Instead I have created a script that will integrate all DriverPacks automatically using the waik commandline tools and integrate it automatically into all available images of a wim. So the proble with the SI control panel on vmware is definitely a driverproblem not a vistatool problem.

I can post the scripts if people are interested or would like to adapt them (currently it does not have any logging)

Hi muiz,

it also happens on all of my pcs and even on vmware so at least in vmware you might be able to reproduce this.
I mentioned this a few months ago by the way :-)

Hi guys,

there seems to be a problem with Windows7 and the jraid drive that is included in the newest massstorage pack. As you can see in this screenshot, Windows won´t load with this driver:

Don´t know yet if this happens with Vista too and if it is happening on physical hardware (still testing with vmware).

Any ideas ?
Bye
Alex

PS: Unfortunately, the error also appears on real hardware (Sony Notebook). So I will take out that driver for now.

Hi muiz,

thanks for the upload but you linked to the x64 pack :-)
Bye
