Just wondering: if driver signing policy is disabled and RIS driver is newer than normal drivers:
which driver does PNP load?

Setup will still assign a trust "rank" to each matching driver.  Unsigned drivers will always be "Driver node not trusted, rank changed from *** to ***" in setupapi.log.  You taught me that trick! wink
Then setup will use whatever driver it can find that is "trusted" with the highest rank.  Regardless of the driver signing policy.

Thanks, I like this. Should work.

Ah, yeah, if he's using 2003 files, I'll need to adjust the .ini to block that too.  I'll update the next DriverPack LAN rc.

LAN 10.05.1: Can you include RIS driver only at BartPE?

Does BASE support this:
at windows mode: include L\B3, exclude L\RS
at BartPE mode: exclude L\B3, include L\RS

That's already implemented (sort of).
The drivers in L\B3 are signed, L\RS are not.  Therefore during normal XP setup, the drivers in L\B3 will be favored over RS.
In BartPE, L\B3 is excluded for XP:

[B3]
; BartPE Code
ms_count	 	= 1
ms_1_tag 	= "B3_Proliant"
ms_1_sysfile 	= "bxnd52x.sys"
ms_1_exc_skipIfOS="wxp"

Is the problem being caused by the 2003 server entries?  If so, then changing the line to read: ms_1_exc_skipIfOS="wxp,w2k3"
should fix it.

Additionally, I tried theses "floppy disks" from Intel website, all of them, except 7.8.0.1012, stopped at same stage on GUI-mode setup:
7.8.0.1012 - OK
8.2.2.1001 - BSoD

Well done!  That's a pretty definitive list!  That certainly narrows things down.

I'll get this into the main pack right away.
It's not that the packs don't need testing, DISM is very good at reporting .inf integration errors.  So a huge chunk of testing is done by DISM so we don't have to.
I always do test integrations to check for errors before uploading.
Maybe we need to rethink the broader scope of testing.

Please continue your reports!
You are correct in your assumptions.  If a device doesn't have a driver on the CD, setup should continue and you just won't see the drive from setup.  But, if there's an incompatible driver that is trying to match the HWID, then that could cause a BSOD.
I've read through some of the info in the Dell post and I agree that something is sitting on the ACPI bus that is causing the problem, not necessarily the Mass Storage drivers. 
Did you try changing the hard drive to a different brand?

I can't login either.  The Third Party DriverPacks server is still on dreamhost IIRC.  It might be a temporary outage.

You got me.  Looks fine from here.  Are you sure you don't have any previous dpms slipped in your source and you've deleted the QSC directory...right?
Do previous versions of dpms work on this system?
It's always possible that new driver just won't work on the new system.

I've created a separate RIS Third Party DriverPack few weeks back.  Should I remove the RIS drivers from the main DriverPack LAN?
That might solve the problem.

Well intermittent problems are by far the most difficult to diagnose.
Do you have an external usb DVD you can try?  Sounds to me like the drive is having trouble reading burned discs but pressed discs are OK.  Classic laser problem.
Check the disc in another system by installing to VirtualBox.  If the disc also fails on another system, then it could be a bad burn.

Checking the SMART data on the HDD would also be a good idea.
