Re: [HOWTO] Using DriverPacks w/ Sysprep (Updated for BASE 7.04)
Hi
At the moment, Mr EchoPlatoon has made an Excell page with all the HWIDs currently in Mass Storage. His intent is to make it easy to spot the duplicate HWIDs in there.
That may not be enough..
I feel we will need a listing with all the HWIDs from the INFs as well.
Ive long realised we can have a problem with overlap where one driver has HWIDs also found in another.
There (WAS) something new in the works as well.
A little Baby called SFXminiPacks was born.
These SFXminiPacks are intended for those situations where a new driver CANNOT work on the hardware, because the BIOS is different, and the HWIDs are basiccally same, or have signifficant overlap..
The OLD driver cannot work with the NEW BIOS either, and that was why I discussed this the idea.
My original intent was to have the SFX files inside the releases, but that was not approved.
( edit, many months later.. SFXminiPacks have been discontinued.)
I mention all this here, so you will know about that problem.
There is another problem as well.
IASTOR.
I recently read a report that Lattitudes did a BSOD, and later on, another report with some ASUS.
I looked at the IASTOR files again.
To be honest, I think I made the mistake of working on files that had been worked on before, and before, so could no longer tell what it had originally been.
Maybe I used a wrong aproach as well.
Anyway, we have a NIGHTLY wich has been made from FRESH downloads.
The overlap in the INI and in the INF files, is GONE, (far as I know.)
The INF have HWIDS disabled. The newest is allowed to do all it can, older is screened against newest, and still older against all the other.
I just hope I did not foul it up.
The pack needs testing before release.
Ive already looked at the HWID database section in txtsetup.sif, and intend to use this in Excell to quickly sort by HWID.
It would tell me something..
This is, alas, manual work.
The Nightly is a testversion.
I'll provide a link which has some sort of changelog.
(rather than post the entire txt here...)
