I found the issue. I had a bad DIMM slot on my motherboard. So there was probably some corruption in the disc and\or DriverPacks.
Why it manifested as that issue, I do not know. But rebuilding my disc (after a memtest clear my RAM) worked fine. No errors at all.

Thanks for the free suport! And the great DriverPacks as well. They really help when deploying over PXE to a wide range of hardware.

Im sorry, maybe I should have listed this. I have read the FAQ. I have also used DriverPacks for many years without issues. I have been creating an automated xp disc for a while using the same method I always do, that has always worked. I integrate only Mass-Storage, Chipset, LAN and WLAN drivers. I have an unattended WINNT.SIF and OOBEINFO.INI that I created by hand. I also have 2 scripts that run, one at T-9 the other at GUIRunOnce. It is extremely close to the original disc. My method has always been the same.

Extract my ISO from MSDN (hashes matching).
Install DriverPacks Mass-Storage, Chipset (previously Chipset and CPU), LAN and WLAN
Copy my files and scripts overwriting WINNT.SIF and OOBEINFO.IN_ (This includes keeping DP's Finishers GUIRunOnce command)
Making ISO and installing.

This has worked for a long while for me. It has recently stopped working. Recent experimenting makes it look like the latest DP's are the cause.

I will try to include all the information I can next time. Any other suggestions?

PS. My WINNT.SIF and other files and scripts have not changed for 15 or so successful builds. Latest DriverPacks are the only change.

I have been using DriverPacks for a while. I just ran into a strange issue.

My driverpacks extract. Everything goes smoothly. When the system starts up, all of the devices are missing drivers. I do a quick grep of the inf's for the hardware id's and all of the hardware id's are there. I can even install the drivers if I point them to the folder with the driver. But it is no longer installed during setup.

Any idea what issue could be causing this?

Couldn't find an attach button for the DPsFnshr.log
