Topic: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

hey all,

I used to integrate official DriverPacks using DPs_BASE_805. it used to finish in less than 3 minutes.

after 4 months [now] i downloaded the latest DriverPacks but, when i slipstream 'em into the source it finishes

in a WHOLE 28 Minutes.

don't know what happened

I'm using the following:

Windows Xp Professional + Sp1

1. nLite-1.4.9.1 to add SP3, rip some components and tweak the source
2. wmp11slips1.3i to slipstream WMP 11 with updated fixes
3. Finally i use the DPs_BASE_805 to integrate the driver packs [official+3rd party] [M2/Ktd disabled/ATi CCC & CCP disabled/QSC enabled]

BS: I even skipped step 1 and 2 jumping directly to step 3 on the untouched source but still nothing less than 22 minutes

My Work environment:

AMD 2200+
1024 Mb of DDR rams at 400 MHz
ATi Radeon 9000 Pro
and On Gigabyte main board model: 7vaXp
running Windows Xp + Sp3

ny suggestions ?

Ok, I found this post

OverFlow wrote:

Solved in base 8.11.25rc

but, guess what. this version got me to 17 minutes

another thing: in the last step b4 i press slipstream the update tracker tells me [where did you get that]
may be because its an RC version.

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

I've personally seen very long times on older hardware like yours.

What kind of disk drive do you have?

On my C2D E6850 (3gz), 4 GB ram, 7200 rpm SATA-2 drives, integrating all of the driverpacks as well as 3 or 4 third party packs, the process completes in about 100 seconds.

On my older Athlon MP (2.3 Gz), 2 Gb ram, 3600 rpm IDE drive, I would always go away for a drink of water and a little TV during driver pack integration.  Seriously, it would take that long.

Good news is that to upgrade to a new mobo, CPU, ram, and disk drive is in the neighborhood of $500-.

What is your time worth?

thx 4 the advice I'm actually a pc tech [it's what i do for living]

I mentioned in the main post that i used to do so in less than 3 minutes
the only different between my current configs and the last one is that the main hard drive is WD 250 GB  PATA
instead of the SAMSUNG 160 GB PATA & windows sp3 instead of sp2.

thx 4 your interest.

BTW, I've been using DriverPacks base since 4th Q of 2007 and never had such problem.

15 min ??? wow... that is a long time to edit a couple of text files...
this should take seconds even though the files are opened and closed many times during this step.
the files are open/closed for each line edit made. (the alternate options to do what we need to do are no better)
virus scanner w/on access scanning....?
read/write cache disabled...?
severe disc fragmentation...?
the file 'Fedit.exe' is being stomped by a spyware, malware or virus scanner?

----------
00:15:50

18min - 15min = about 3 minutes which is what you (and I) might expect.

i belive this indicates corruption of the txtsetup.sif (and) or dosnet.inf file(s)

Especialy since the biggest task here should have been cab compressing the mass storage drivers.
That apparently took about one minute wink

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

this was a clean source [untouched] of windows xp sp1
same thing happened with sp2 version [integrated using the command line or the run command]

i have another clean source for windows xp MCE consists of 2 cds
should i try with the 1st one ?

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

Depends on the PC you are using. I use an Intel quad core with 4 gigs and it takes 7 minutes 30 seconds.
15 minutes is not excessive.

AMD MB's seem to run faster at slipsteaming.

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

have you checked your system error log/event viewer to see if there is anything there, such as disk errors or anti-virus alerts?

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

Now i got to 7 min 19 sec AFTER closing Firefox 3.0.4 witch had 4 tabs opened 2 of them were forumes with graphics.

WAIT A MINUTE

virus scanner w/on access scanning....?

the file 'Fedit.exe' is being stomped by a spyware, malware or virus scanner?

I guess that's it.

I do have Eset security suite installed and running

in the past i used to have NIS installed.

But I thought Eset SS should be faster

I'll try agian [Nod32 turned Off] and report back.

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

yub, It was the virus scanner

Once i turned it off i got a massive time [02:07]

thx all , hope  I haven't caused you any trouble.

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

NO trouble at all!

that is why we're here and we are so glad to have been able to help you.

It is important to us that DriverPacks BASE works as intended for all supported platforms.
by reporting any problems you encounter we can ensure that continues to be the case.

Please continue to post any problems that you have and we will gladly help!
Most of the time it is not DriverPacks BASE, but if it is we need to know imediately so we can fix it.
This time there is nothing for me to fix... i like that solution the best of all wink.

Have a Great DAY and welcome to DriverPacks.net
We're glad your here!

Jeff

PS since those files get edited Four or five hundred times during the slipstream of mass storage that would mean that your virus scanner would have scanned them each time wink. HINT: On some scanners you can indicate folders that are not to be 'on access' scanned.

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

Jeff, Online armor firewall has a variant called OA+ with kaspersky AV for OA+basic licenced in-line AV (a sandboxed pass-through) and you would not believe the number of warn triggers DriverPacks BASE causes.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: [Integrating drivers][slipstreaming]*Why is it taking such a long time

separate post.
suites with configurable AV can be configured.

a basic AV plug-in has no CPL.
I can not tell a OA+ user how to omit  folders 'on acces"
OA FW (no AV) still has a good FW and  HIPS feature.
That in itself is a problem for DriverPacks BASE and 7z.
I use avast alongside OA+.
Hence the need for an other live metal dedicated DriverPacks cruncher.
