Re: Hardware Universal Ghost Image

C610 on PE has acpipic_up as the HAL which is normal ACPI so don't understand why it hangs after mini-setup is done?

Re: Hardware Universal Ghost Image

I solved my own problem with C610, manually replaced %windir%\system32\hall.dll on c610 with one from another pc that was 'Advanced Configuration and Power Interface', then it rebooted and didnt stick. Moral of story is change the HAL to 'Advanced Configuration and Power Interface' in vmware image first.

Re: Hardware Universal Ghost Image

That is what I did, but on some really new machines the conversion to the ACPI HAL during sysprep would cause the machine to hang. So whilst it is the best method, it is not fool-proof.
