Topic: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Hi,
Seems to be a problem with D820's and latest graphics packs
Looking in setupapi.log its NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 problem (BIOS says its a Quadro NVS 110M)
this is a snippit from end of setupapi.log:

Pc then stays halted indefinately, have rebooted and then new addition to log ends in same way.

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

I'm uploading the new 7.07test2 G_A dp right now.  I used a modified nv4_go.inf file that I hope will solve your problem.  It's going to take a while to upload since I'm on such a slow connection at the moment.  I'll post the link in the "Testers wanted" thread.

G_A is presumably ATI not NVIDIA ???

The nv4 file is in Pack A, that hasn't been changed in a while, still at DP_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32_7061test4 that I used in this case, and doesn't work.

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Yes, I know.
The G_A 7.07test2 DP is all-inclusive (ATI & nVidia).

I have the G_A 7.07test2 DP built but I can't upload it.  The DSL connection at this hotel is crappy and keeps cutting out when it's about halfway done.
I emailed the changed files and instructions to Jaak (he emailed it to Muiz).  Presumably, it'll get uploaded today or tomorrow.

Thanks for upload, have 8 x D820's to image tomorrow morning, so I hope it works too smile
There is a still a problem with the SigmaTel HD audio though..I have posted in the Sound thread but seems no one is active in it anymore?

(if I wait for the hardware found prompt after install it auto finds drivers and installs them fine)

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

I found following in,

http://download.microsoft.com/download/ … APILog.doc

Specifically, the #I180 and #E358 messages indicate that SetupAPI could not verify the INF file in the catalog file; SetupAPI logs this as an error because the installation is server-side.

...afraid its above my level of understanding

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Looks like the .CAT file is screwing things up.  Windows will try to match signed drivers before unsigned drivers.  Damn!
The .CAT file contains HWIDs but not ALL the HWIDs contained within our nv4_go.inf file.

I'll look into a solution but I'll need help from the rest of the team.

The best solution is to disable the Signed Drivers Policy right along with the System File Checker.
(nLite does this for me)

Nothing but trouble through them and the gains are close to none (plus, there are a lot of WHQL drivers that still don't work properly or "as expected"...).

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Helmi, could you be abit more explicit in what you mean?
In sysprep I have
    UpdateInstalledDrivers = Yes
    DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
(although I thought this made no difference since SP2?)
makePNF has ran so presume thats not an issue either.
Why does every other unsigned driver work fine except this?
Thanks for any insite into this

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

What gets me is this line:

#-011 Installing section [nv4_mobile] from "c:\windows\inf\oem670.inf".

Where are you getting "oem670.inf" from?  It certainly is not in the G_A DP. hmm
Do you have any other drivers in there?

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

I am running the finisher with sysprep/mini-setup so its allready had makePNF and devicepath ran, hence the oem \inf entry.

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Oh, I don't use sysprep so someone else with experience in that utility will likely have to assist.

I have G_A 7.07 test3 built and ready to upload.  Just need some more feedback on the previous test from other users to tweak it first.
Major change - G\N\2 & N\5 are gone.  All folders merged into G\N\1 (unified WHQL drivers 162.18) with .inf files compared and updated to single nv4_disp.inf (desktop) and nv4_go.inf (mobile).  Significant filesize savings! smile

There was also a flaw in the G\N\5 folder where nvucode.bin was not renamed after decompression (remained nvucode.bi_).  That would have caused issues.

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

maybe we ought to have a SYSPREP user forum ?

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

I think that would be a good idea, however as the finisher is running in the same fashion, and all other things being equal, I cannot see how the problems are connected to sysprep?
Most everything seems to boil down to drivers not installing because their ranking is too low?  [I am summising this because with the HW wizard they are found and installed ok]

Are you guys using hacked SFC_OS.DLL to disable SFC/WFP?

The newest nlite (1.4) also gets rid of this as well

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Ok, just tested again, I replaced sfc_os.dll with the NOP'd one and it made no difference whatsoever.

Could someone look at their setuplog.api and tell me if they see any instances of a ranking change to untrusted like....

#I087 Driver node not trusted, rank changed from 0x00002001 to 0x0000e001.

..but with the driver still installing automatically?

I could be wrong, but I still think this is a 'driver signing policy' issue.  When the windows installer encounters an unsigned driver, it will continue to look for a signed driver and if it finds one (even an ancient one) it will use that instead of the more recent unsigned one.  Has MS changed the method of scanning for signed drivers?  The method that the DPbase uses to disable it doesn't seem to work anymore?

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Mr Smartpants,
My test rig (vmware) is up to date with everything, patched with latest Autopatcher and also windows updates.
If anyone else can see if they get e001 rankings and dont have issues at least I know the issue lies with me?

Also I was mislead about my 'patched' sfc_os.dll file in above post, I had downloaded, it turned out to be same as original, from
http://www3.sympatico.ca/lazimute/patches.htm
link title  'An already patched and compressed SFC_OS.DLL is available for download.'

I have just now patched an original winxp SP2 .dll myself, copied it to system32 and system32\dllcache and changed the SFC reg entry.  I shall test it on Monday at work.

Re: D820 Dell nv4 halts during mini setup NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 /NVS 110M

Right, just tried lastest packs on D820...
Definitely using correctly modified sfc file, correctly in %windir%\ststem32 and %windir%\system32\dllcache
Also using the reg file to change to magic number (as far as i know this again now has effect due to patch)
It makes no difference I still get things fail at rank change to 0x0000e001
