Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

mass storage test releases after 70410 and before 70418 (files you got from rapidshare) contain an error.

"load the driver for plug and play but; in a DISABLEd state during text mode setup."
We have never needed to do this for any OS except windows 2000.

Yes, you are right, I did not completly understand this functionality, but please note:
1. It was not me, who used this ms_1_exc_disabledIfOS="wxp", I was only the one who wrote that this option caused the problem of commenting out _all_ drivers, not only that one, that had this option applied that follow this driver.

2. What I still would call a (possible) bug is that an option, regardless if it is usefull or not at the point it had been used acts on all the following drivers. And if you dont like the word bug then let's call this unpredictable behavior we should be aware of if it happens again.

I was unaware of that too, and I made that error in [C]

One could call it "growing pains", and I really think this should be made "more robust" against such "user" error.

I would NOT have posted RUUDBOEK's text had this project not become open-source.
The end user has had this possibility to edit the INI in all releases for a while now, and little in depth information was public.
Give me the choice between PM or chat, for help... Then I will choose public discussions. Always.

Long time ago, on other boards, some long discussions got summarised, and posted.
A summary like that was welcomed (Came with all relevant links, and all posts or helpful parts posts that got included were credited to the original poster.)

you can bet there are people using snips of posted tips to write their own reference txt.
I am one of those...

Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

There is a mistake in new 70418: the folder-order of J-1 and J-2 changed, but the ini has not been changed to this!
By integrating the drivers it will stop with an error by making cab at jraid.sys.
I edited the ini myself and after this the integration works.
Thanks for the new pack, i will try installation today.

Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

I´ve tried an installation with the 07418 - bluescreen before partitionning the disk (Gigabyte P965-DS4).
Then I changed the folder-order of J-1 and J-2 (J-1 is now jraid und J-2 jahci), with this it works, no bluescreen.

I disagree it it does what it was designed to do it is neither a bug nor unpredictable.

it is used for w2k to prevent drivers from loading into ram to prevent ram from being used up and it does.
We have yet to add enough drivers to find these limits on XP or 2003 and is not needed or supported.
if you put Garbage Into the .inf file you will get Garbage Out (GIGO). that is not a flaw with the base it's user error. the "meat" virus.

Lets agree it was just not well documented.

Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

hi

my mistake
I was preparing a version without folder swaps, and got interupted.
I'll correct it
I've had no "go" nor "don't" signal on folder swap changes, but can tell you that when swaps are done, the supported device list on the site also has to be changed, and I wanted to spare Bâshrat the Sneaky this extra work.

I was talking to Bâshrat the Sneaky about flattening the structure to extend mode 1 support and he liked it. but it fell on the floor when i was codeing bartpe plugin.

me wrote:

I think it would also help us and them if we flatten our folder structure a little. I know I read somewhere that you were planning on doing away with method one but I like it and use it from time to time. Certain drivers like the SoundBlaster drivers for example are included with windows but are older and won’t get the newest drivers from the pack if method one is not used. They get the default windows drivers instead of the pack drivers and then you have to go to device manager and “update” them manually. I run into this when I test stuff in VMware using method two, my WPI won’t play the music file I have for that because the windows SoundBlaster driver that gets installed when using method 2 isn’t appropriate. I digress. We have over 950 folders. So there is considerable room to shorten our path statement. For example in the mass storage we have now is D\M\3\1\O that is 9 characters for the path name if we made them D\M\31O, D\M\31, D\M\32 there would still be 127 folders but D\M\31O is two characters shorter for the path statement. Following this logic we could shorten the path statement by over 150 characters just in mass storage. I don’t believe there is a danger of hitting the max file limit per folder.  If we did this to all the packs we could reduce the path statement by well over a thousand characters maybe almost two thousand. The flattening of the folder structure would also be a benefit for both network and mass storage integration to BartPE. I believe this would help both projects.

Bâshrat the Sneaky replied wrote:

The "path optimization" you're suggesting is quite interesting though. I've already optimized it very much over time, but this would indeed shorten the path and still keep things manageable.

Somthing to think about since you are totaly restructureing the packs.

Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

fixed 70418 removed

Hi Overflow
That will be a massive task, but I like the idea.
If the team assigns a task to a team member, work can be spread.
I figure this has to be discussed in testing or DriverPacks team forum.

got a critical error saying it could not creat jmicron.sy_ or something similar...fyi

Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

Hi fragbert, did you re-download it?
(the fixed 18 did not get renamed to 70419, but the creation date is 19th..)

hmmm, this just again shows that it is better to rename to creation-date. (even if when one posts a minor fix, and knows only four or five people got that flawed version)

Re: [REQ] LSI Logic PCI SCSI/FC MPI Driver - add hwids IBM Intellistation

It would be a massive task if done all at once.

no need for that

just do a few at a time
when your updateing a section and redoing it anyway....
