I really really really don't want to use nLite for slipping drivers, its so bulky and increases transfer times significantly.

Here's my situation. I setup a Linux based RIS server for installing Windows XP. The install goes smooth as can be and even the driverpacks extract and install just fine, except for the graphics drivers. the drivers appear to install, but when you hit up the device manager, the video controller is marked with and exclamation point. At this point, if you right click and update the driver automatically (not using update), it finishes installing and works fine. I can't have this happening on every machine, and so far its happening on all Dell intel gpus so far.

My current work-around is to slipstream the gfx drivers straight into the source with nlite, as much as I hate it, it works. The drivers install without a hitch, albeit it takes much longer to download the files.

So I guess what I need to know is if this is a known problem (I've searched to no avail) and if there is anything I can do about it.

I know my information provided is sparse, but I could really write a novel on what I've done so far, and I'd rather answer a few pointed questions than give you my RIS life story.

Just a pertinent fact, here's what I did to my install source as of right now: Extracted from Dell CD --> Ryans RVM --> nLite (gfx drivers and a couple tweaks) --> Driverpacks
