Sorry to *bump* an old-ish post but may I just ask if this issue with GX620s Locking up on bootup is fixed with the latest Mass Storage and Chipset Driverpacks releases (11.06)?

The last install DVD I created using versions 11.04 of these 2 Driverpacks still freezes on GX620s.  I tried updated the BIOSes to the latest A11 but that didn't help unfortunately.

Bl00dy GX620s are even wierd PCs on Dell's terms.

Hi fellas,

Just an update to say that I've just done an even newer disk using mr_smartepants' [NIGHTLY] DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_101101 and this works perfectly with 'JRAID.SY_' present and correct.

Not sure what it was that was giving me the run-around with 10.10 but whatever didn't work for me in that pack seems to have been fixed with 10.1101 so many thanks for that Mr_Smartepants!

(Thanks for the tips and feedback too Jeff!).

Hi Overflow,

That's one thing I didn't try fella.  Now I've rolled back to 10.09 I'll have to compile a brand new source again to test this out so will give that a whirl tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks.

Hi people,

Thanks again for the very regular updates on this pack.  I'm just wondering whether the MD5 checksum needs updating in the first post as the pack seems to download correctly but the file hash is wrong?

Hash in first post  : 5665aef108e0e3874c7ad0c13c35f222

Hash of download: 7AF8A3C07961EB27ED683C29F19E67EA

Cheers.

EDIT: Actually, ignore that point above as I've just spotted Compstuff's post with a link to the newer, August pack above - Cheers Compstuff et al.

On the April Fool's front a friend of mine did something similar to the 'snapshot desktop, hide icons and taskbar' trick above to a colleague at his works.  As an added twist he also created folders named 'P0rn' and 'Beastiality' on the desktop before he took the snapshot image.

Apparently it took his workmate/victim a VERY long time to work up the courage to contact IT Support...

Hi Gents,

Jeff - Sorry mate, like a prize banana I did indeed get confused and in my haste made the very 'silly' mistake of thinking the Chipset update was a Mass Storage update so apologies for that...

On to the issue at hand...

DaveWI - I'm only using a bog standard Unattended XP install DVD but looking at the link you sent you're using a 'one size fits all' sysprepped disk image.  I've never really dabbled with sysprep fully so can only guess but as our 780s are all running fine with current set of driver packs could it possibly be a Sysprep issue that's causing your 0x7B errors?

The list of DriverPacks I'm using are below (planning to update to April packs next week some time):

Chipset                10.02
CPU                    9.12
Graphics A                10.03
Graphics B                10.03
Graphics C                9.12  (not added 'cosmetic' 10.03 pack yet)
Graphics Languages    10.03
Graphics PhysX        9.12
LAN                    10.03
Mass Storage        10.02.21 (Nightlies)
Runtimes for ATI    9.12
Sound A            10.03
Sound B            10.03
WLAN            10.03

*3rd Party*
Modem            10.01
Webcam            10.01.04
Bluetooth                9.10

Cheers,

Mulgie

Hi rock333,

Thanks a lot for the kind compliments, although to be fair I'm a relative newbie to this forum myself!
Good luck with your exams.

Aside from that I'd just like to say a big *THANKS* to Bâshrat the Sneaky, Woody22, Overflow and all the other contributors who keep this big, Driverpacks machine rolling as the new Mass Storage pack works like a dream!

I finally found the time to do a new unattended disk and the Driverpacks side of it went off without a hitch so cheers again.

Mulgie

As I've said in my release comments post I'll test these new packs out on the newer Dell Optiplex 780s in the next few days and report back.

Thanks again gents.

Thanks fellas, just glad I was finally able to give something back after all the help I've had from you guys in the past!

Cheers.

Does the latest version (8.05) of DP_Base support x64 driver packs yet? I've reviewed the changelog and seen no mention of 64-bit support for these 3rd Party Drivers so I'm guessing 'no' but thought I'd ask anyway!

I've got 2x32GB RAM Lenovo Thinkstation D10s to build and it'd be nice to have a few drivers in my x64 XP disk as the Vista x64 that comes with them seems to crawl along at the moment. :-/

Aye, the files are there for KB88111 but it's broken apparently and although there are various fiddles you can do to get round the problem after an install like extracting the KB888111's 'common files' folder and using that driver we all still have to wait until Microsoft release a newer SP3 hotfix that overcomes it I think?
