Hmm, just ran it again on the laptop. It hung at T-34 overnight. I rebooted this morning so setup could finish and now it's in a 7B BSOD loop. When it worked previously, I had only integrated CPU, Chipset, and MassStorage. Tentatively, I would say that adding the rest causes this problem, but it could be an anomaly. I'll restart from scratch and try again.

edit--
After two runs, I confirmed it happens every time if I include all packs. I tried a run with CPU, Chipset, MassStorage, LAN and WLAN, and it still happened. I'll try just including CPU, Chipset, and MassStorage again to see if it works as expected. If it does, then I'll work on narrowing down which networking driver pack is incompatible. I did notice that pnplog.txt's last entry was the integrated Texas Instruments firewire adapter. I tried to see if I could disable that in the BIOS, but that option isn't available.

edit 2--
That was also all on the same burn. Perhaps it was a bad one. I'll do an md5 check on it.

Curse you ricktendo64! mad

I built a pack that works with [T] enabled. It is based on DPM101003.

I duplicated the I4 directory and renamed it to IC.

Then I added this right before [T] in the INI file:
(note: I left the [I4] entry alone!)

; This section has to be before [T]
[IC]
; 8.9.0.1023 / 9.6.0.1014
ms_count=1
ms_1_deviceName="Intel ICH7 SATA AHCI/RAID"
ms_1_tag="iastor4"
ms_1_sysFile="iastor4.sys"
ms_1_hwids="PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&SUBSYS_0281107B"
ms_1_isBusExtender=false
ms_1_exc_disableIfOS="w2k"

I'm not sure how nicely that will play with everything else, but it worked for me. The result is duplicated content in the directory structure, but that shouldn't affect compression at all since 7-zip will merely count it twice.

Pack I created: http://xp.xpdnc.org/temp/DP_MassStorage … 101004f.7z
md5: c5ad244c5d5e49e0a27f46dc123db107

(by the way, I'm not sure if this will work with the thread-starter's device; i would not expect it to work without first adding his device to the INI)

@dumpydooby: that's just not realistic. And there aren't enough custom DriverPacks to be built, since the current DriverPacks already include pretty much everything. And as OverFlow indicates, users wouldn't be able to cheat.

I was thinking more along the lines of owners of esoteric equipment. Someone who is running a print shop might be interested in a DriverPack for their wide-format Roland printer(s) along with necessary custom color profiles, for example. It's at least worth consideration, I think. Maybe put up a poll?


Also I don't understand the aversion to advertising directly in Base. hmm

parseing a hwids.txt is not hard...
generating one (that is half way accurate) is a real bear, we have done several for the testing team. unfortunatly manufactuers and oems do not stick to any set of standards and the contents of infs vary widely and wildly.

Right. You would have to create a database with all of the known HWIDs (wikidrivers.com might be a good place to start). But once that database is populated, it could definitely serve as a premium feature that users would be interested in having, especially if they could upload their HWID.txt file, and have the system tell them what DriverPacks they need. This "can't be done" knee-jerk reaction is precisely what Wim was met with on MSFN when he first announced DriverPacks.

No matter what, as long as you guys still have a way to download it for free through a web browser, there will always be a way to replicate that process programmatically. I suppose authentication would at least ensure that the programmer who cheats the system at least knows what he's doing and is less likely to hit you guys as hard as, say, someone sending a text list to wget.



If you need help with any programming. I'm willing to donate my time.

Just commenting out [T] works. I did not comment out [L6] and [L1]. The drive shows up in textmode. I'll edit this post if there are any issues post-installation.

As far as the MSI one goes, I think you were on to something when you said it could be chipset related. I noticed that when I tried installing the Catalyst drivers for legacy devices from ATI, it didn't work. But after I went to the MSI website and downloaded the chipset drivers, the Catalyst ones installed just fine.

So I'll try looking through the chipset DP right now and see if I discover anything interesting. I doubt I will, but it's worth a shot.

Ill now try slipstreaming the other driverpacks and try again.

I was having the same issues as you. I haven't tested the others, but I can confirm that test4 works fine on my end as well.

OMFG I THINK I JUST FIGURED IT OUT! rofl.

I'm gonna make me a DriverPack and see if it works. If it does, I'll upload it. Wish me luck!


edit--
nope. false alarm. still stuck.




summary


MSI unit from first post:
no idea what's up with it. chipset drivers don't get installed, nor do gfx drivers. can't find any DriverPacks that do work with it.


Gateway notebook:
DPM901 works perfect with it, textmode and all.
DPM10103 does not -- can't get through textmode setup because it doesn't recognize the drive, i've been unsuccessful in getting other drivers to work with it. from the looks of it, it ought to be working.

Update on the laptop. I had a copy of DPM901 (md5: 1414BC6639F60EC4D91D97A2D3E72A9A) laying around. It's working so far. I'm afraid I don't understand what's happening in the INI file, however.

Both of these entries say...

ms_1_sysFile="iastor.sys"

... but in the newer INI files, you don't use this technique, so I'm not sure which one is taking precedence. My HWID falls under the entry for 7.8.0.1012, but this driver may wind up being overwritten with the newer version (8.6.0.1007). I guess I'll find out once Windows finishes installing and report back with the results.



edit--
yay. it worked flawlessly. I checked and rechecked. It's all in there. Here is DPM901, in case you don't already have it: http://xp.xpdnc.org/temp/DP_MassStorage … -32_901.7z

So it seems as though I need 7.8.0.1012 for textmode, but other versions might work just fine after that.

OK, I've gone through the drivers from the MSI site and they don't support the HWIDs you posted...at all. sad
Well, the only HWID supported is the SMBUS driver from 2007, which is already in the DriverPack Chipset.
Strange.

I can confirm that 10.9 and 10.6 do not work with it. I'll build a disc with 10.10.3 right now and try that. [edit- 10.10.3 did not work either]

What I do know is that version 6.2.0.2002 of the iaStor driver works with it. version 7.8.0.1012 does not. version 8.9.2.1002 does not. version 8.6.0.1007 is compatible in textmode, but BSODs after first reboot post-installation. version 7.0.0.1020 is untested; it might work.

I don't have access to v6.2.0.2002.  But have you tried moving your HWID to the [i] .ini header?

I created an [I62] header, copied the syntax from other entries, added my HWID to it, duplicated the iastor.sys file and renamed it to iastor62.sys, etcetera. That did not work as expected. Still didn't read the hard drive. Am I putting in the wrong HWID? I notice that the one I put in shows up in iaahci.inf, but not in iastor.inf. Does that sound correct?


Here is the 6.2.0.2002 driver that does work if I use the traditional method of integrating via nLite or whatever.

This is with all drivers installed on the MSI one.

Here are all of the MSI drivers, post-installation (I used devcon and a batch script to back them up, so hopefully it turned out okay):
http://xp.xpdnc.org/temp/RS482M4-ILD.7z

And the SM Bus driver is the one that didn't get installed by DriverPacks. Well, that and the VGA one (which I got from ATI). The sound driver installed, but it was quirky. When I downloaded the sound driver from Windows Update, it was all fixed.

I noticed the neat trick you do with I4 where the textmode driver differs from the post-installation driver. Something like that might work with this laptop as well. I'll fiddle around with things. I got my CD-RW out. lol.

Looks like I'll be able to get that MSI one again. So if there's anything you want me to try out over the weekend, I'm fine with that.

Interesting thing I learned about the MSI website a while back. Change the subdomain to eu.



So from the first post...

http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=downlo … rod_no=215


becomes...

http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downlo … rod_no=215



Now the links work. But if you still have issues, let me know and I'll upload it to my own server.




Also, the notebook still has issues during textmode (using DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_101003). It keeps telling me that no hard drive is detected. You might be getting thrown off because the HWID.txt file shows that all devices installed properly, but that's because I used stock drivers from the Gateway website.

Here's my laptop stuff. I wanna emphasize that I didn't use DriverPacks on this thing. I tried, but since it can't read the drive during textmode, setup couldn't continue and I still haven't reformatted. So right now it has the stock drivers from the Gateway website.

I can confirm that 10.9 and 10.6 do not work with it. I'll build a disc with 10.10.3 right now and try that. [edit- 10.10.3 did not work either]


What I do know is that version 6.2.0.2002 of the iaStor driver works with it. version 7.8.0.1012 does not. version 8.9.2.1002 does not. version 8.6.0.1007 is compatible in textmode, but BSODs after first reboot post-installation. version 7.0.0.1020 is untested; it might work. I did most of this testing a year or so ago (I'm reading some notes I wrote for myself). I might retest just to verify that it's all accurate. In the meantime, here's the HWID.TXT file...

Oh, apparently I did run the HWID Tool that computer. I just found the log on my pen drive. This is the computer from the first post (not my laptop; that will be next)...

I only had that computer for an hour or so. Besides getting the HWID of the device in question, what information do you guys get from the HWID Tool? I figured posting the HWID would have been enough. I apologize. I'll make an effort to remember to run the tool and post the full results in future. Sorry about that. :\


Unrelated to this thread: the MassStorage pack is no longer compatible with my laptop at all. Doesn't even read the drive during textmode. I've always had issues with that pack and my laptop. I'll mess with it over the weekend and see about getting to the bottom of it.

Also unrelated: I tossed in some added functionality to presetup.cmd. Mine now searches for other drives (e.g., USB drives) for DriverPacks as well as the CD. This is useful for computers that can't read DVDs or is finnicky about the DVD media that it will read; just burn XP to a CD and stick the DriverPacks on a pen drive (it looks for the following directories: OEM, DriverPacks.net, DriverPacks, and DriverPacks).

You should put ads in DP Base and keep the easier download method available for everyone. Otherwise you're going to have third party folks coming up with ways to do it programmatically, and their methods will not be as efficient, won't check timestamps, etcetera, which means they hit your server/CDN a lot harder.


If it's money that you guys want, then perhaps offer a DriverPack creation service where companies can send you information about their equipment and you will create and update custom DriverPacks for them. I can also think of a few features to add to the site that you might consider making available only to those who donate or whatever. The ability to parse a HWIDs.txt file would be neat, and it's rather easy to code.

not sure what the board is (i haven't looked), but here's the relevant hwid:

ven_1002&dev_5974&subsys_71411462

i used the latest stable graphics a, b, and c.


if you need me to get more information, let me know.


edit--
i ran into some issues with the audio drivers (all of the hdaudio drivers installed, but kept saying that i didn't have any audio devices).

anyway, i had to look up the board. here's a link to it: http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=downlo … rod_no=215

It's functionally the same as the official pack by the same name. The only difference is that my pack is more heavily compressed for those of us that are space conscious. The downside is that during the "presetup" extraction routine, it will consume more space on your hard disk (335 MB).

Thanks Wim.


Also I just noticed the title of this thread. lol @ silly censor script.


edit--

I fixed the title.

I just tested it. Download works fine now for me now. MD5 matched and everything. If anyone else reading this still has the same issue, give it a bit (up to an hour?) while the cache data propagates through SimpleCDN's network.

If you want to PM me a temp link, I can mirror it for you on my host in the meantime. It's up to you. *shrug*

I keep trying to get DP_Graphics_PhysX_wnt5_x86-32_1004.7z, but it's giving me a 33 MB file instead of 50+ MB. The problem is that the server is actually reporting that the file is 50+ MB. So as an outsider, I'd estimate that this is likely a caching issue.

As soon as I can backup a nice chunk of data on my laptop, I'll reformat and test the latest MassStorage. I remember my laptop having some problems. Textmode drivers worked and the first reboot worked, but after DPsFnshr did its thing, the unit would bluescreen on every boot, even for "Safe Mode" and "Last Known Configuration..." If I did a textmode-only integration, then it would be fine, but it would have some alerts in Device Manager.


I made a post around here about it, but it's pretty old. I'll get back to you guys when I actually get around to testing it (I have DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_100529.7z).
