usern - I'm using a Virtual Machine as my base Image. I set the 'computer' type (HAL) to ACPI before I image it, and also set the IDE controllers to 'standard IDE'.
I then use Mysysprep to handle the HAL (basically only change if multiprocessor is detected), and am using the Intel chipset installer to get the IDE controller switched to the proper one.

When I tried the latest INF chipset drivers directly from intel, I actually just put them into a custom driver pack, and took out the driverpacks chipset file completely.
I have a solution that is working.
I took the Chipset Driverpack out of my installation completely (I only needed it for Intel Drivers anyway), and am now running the Intel Chipset Installer in my post-windows Installation script. This can be installed quietly, and it PERFECTLY picks the appropriate drivers for my 640 and my 755. (Just run setup.exe -s)
If you still need to use the Chipset driver for other chipsets, you should still be able to use this and just take out the intel folders and appropriate sections in the ini file.

Tried the absolute latest intel INF chipset drivers and am still running into this. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

OR.. I could just go read all your posts about DP_Inst and plan on using that. 
My lovely system install method..
Build a Base image in VMware - get it setup with applications, etc. Extract all the driverpacks out to the right folders, then sysprep -seal
Image that using Acronis - put on USB Key.
Boot to USB Key - restore image - image runs sysprep on reboot asking for system name, etc (and installs drivers that were pointed to before sealing)
system should be ready to go..
I'm trying to figure out a better solution. But we're kind of locked into the 'pull down an image' from either a USB key or a network share.

So I just completely rebuilt it without the Chipset drivers - confirmed that it is indeed chipset drivers causing my issues.
So - I grab just the 620 drivers and add them as a custom driver pack (d\3\etc)... works fine - except of course now my 755 system doesn't have drivers.
So I put those in their own special custom driver pack.
And of course - we're back to the same problem - works fine on a 755 system, but a 620 gets the lovely lockup after the first reboot. Is there a way to force what order drivers are processed in? If I could make the system look in the 620 folder first, then the 755, it would presumably get rid of the issue.
Or am I going to have to make different images, or look at a post-driver extraction solution? (use a script to extract the right driver set and run devpath / force a driver scan?)
Thanks.

I think it's basically this old problem...
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=525
Using Chipset 8.03 (I also tried 806A_Public), the system will run sysprep just fine, but then lock up when booting the next time - gets the windows XP logo / blue bars - then the bars stop moving.
Boot into safe mode, change Hard drive controller from Intel to standard - everything works okay on next boot.

Re: AutoIt Error - "Subscript used with non-Array variable" (8 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I was having this same problem - I changed my Finisher method from GUIRunOnce to RunOnceEX and that solved the problem for me.
You might give that a shot and see if it helps.

Topic: [SOLVED] Broadcom 570x issues? (2 replies, posted in DriverPack LAN)
Has anyone had any problems with the Broadcom 570x Drivers? I've got a Dell D600 that I used the LAN pack 6.08 on, and when it loads the driver, windows says the device is not ready.. 
I went and downloaded the version on Dells web site, which is 8.27.1 (instead of 8.48.0.0 in the driverpack) and it seems to work okay now.
