Re: Intel AHCI Issue

hi,
you may not believe this, but the problem with txtsetup.oem is that DriverPacks uses the mass storage_.INI to perform the txtmode action.
edit (txtsetup.oem files get removed by the syspreppers when we leave them in.. They swear at us when we leave dupe filenames like that in )

The driver.inf should have that REG stuff.
I just look at IAAHCI.INF and it has that stuff.
iastor.inf (the other mode) has different stuff.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

If you look at the txtsetup.oem for matrix storage driver it has the service information in it also was this included or added to the driverpack?

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

please use code tags grrrrr....

you have been given the answer
the device management has to be installed first.

"If you select AHCI for Serial ATA (SATA) in the BIOS Setup
Utility before installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver,
your computer will not respond; it will only display a blue
screen."

you will have to preinstall the storage manager

this is probably why nLite works... it force installs the manager.
(whether it's needed or not - bloating the install)
DriverPacks uses the finisher to install managers and control panels and the like.
So they are only installed for hardware that EXISTS in the system
(we don't install garbage you don't need) DP_Finisher runs after the PE setup reboot from the gui.

So since the driver will fail to boot if the manager is not preinstalled
and driverpacks doesn't preinstall software for devices (the Finisher runs after PE reboots the machine)
It can not succeed.

either the machine must be installed as described by adam_w
or the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver must be preinstalled by whatever mechanism.
IE run from cmdlines.txt or detached program or...

The driver is broken... complain to Intel...
the device should work without its cute little control panel or the control panel should be installed by the primary device driver's inf.

I normally discourage the team from hacking INF's
(I need to see a darned good reason to break driver signing)
but sometimes an exception to this rule can / must be made.
The best solution would be to put the ball in Intels court and demand a fix.
no other controllers have this issue, so it seems to be them?

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

i guess you didn't read my post...

Hivesys has nothing to do with it - so it won't help - no point in reading your code...

use code tags or have your post deleted...
I am not going to follow you around and hold your hand - last warning.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

Ill make some assumtions: your doing an unattended install and you have selected RunOnceEX for starting the Finisher

This would mean that you already have an \$OEM$\cmdlines.txt file

and that your winnt.sif contains at least these lines

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall=Yes
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

now your instructions (jeff modded)

6. Download Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver from the Web site
and Put it in \$OEM$\ - so you now have $OEM$\iata78_cd.exe

7. script the Install of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver. To do this,
add this line to \$OEM$\cmdlines.txt
(all lines in this file must be in quotes except for the first line [commands] )

"iata78_cd.exe /s"

and your done.

This will install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver at about T12 during PE and before the reboot.

I think it is worth noteing here that this package includes .net and therefore depends on it.
so this file should not be extracted and run with its internal Iss setup file unless .net is otherwise addressed.

Test and Report please...

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

Thanks for your help, I notice that the installer will only install if the intel controller is present which would not add any bloat. What verson of .net framework does the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver require?

    memory required by the operating system.

5.  The 'Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility'
    must be installed prior to installing the 
    Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager.

an interesting thing is this in chapter 7

************************************************************
* 7.  ADVANCED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************
SNIP<
7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the 
    driver files from the different package types:
      c:\iata_cd.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>
      c:\iata_enu.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>
      c:\setup.exe -a -pc:\<path>
When the command is run, the installation process begins;    
simply click through the dialogs as prompted. This will not install the driver, it will only extract the driver files to  <path>. 
After the extraction is completed, the driver files can be found in <path>\Driver.
SNIP<
7.3b Systems Configured for AHCI Mode:
Note: The same procedure can be used for systems using 
      the 'Intel(R) 82801IR/IO SATA AHCI Controller',
      'Intel(R) 82801HEM SATA AHCI Controller',
      'Intel(R) 82801HBM SATA AHCI Controller',      
      'Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA AHCI Controller',
      'Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller',
      'Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller',
      and 'Intel(R) 82801GH SATA AHCI Controller'.
      Simply replace the text within the quotation  marks.
    // Insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file
    [MassStorageDrivers]
    "Intel(R) 82801IR/IO SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
     [OEMBootFiles]
    iaAhci.inf
    iaStor.sys
    iaAhci.cat
    Txtsetup.oem

you'll have to find the readme of the chipset INF installer to make it load before ahci install.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

i cheated and ran setup then went to my temp folder to see what the package contains. (Bâshrat the Sneaky is not the only sneaky one)

if you look you will find this package contains .net redistributable package.
DONT WORRY about it just accept the fact that it does... and it will install the needed componenets itself (sorry i mentioned it)

Yes my method will not install any bloat in a machine that does not require said bloat -
THAT is WHY i suggested it... duh .

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

re jaak

The 'Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility'
must be installed prior to installing the
Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager.

this is installed by our chipset pack (which is run prior to t-12)

Man you guys act like this is my first day here or somthing...

Is anybody going to test my idea or not...

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

I wonder, to resolve last doubt:

did anyone tried default XP sources and added iastor 7.8 at F6 floppy?
Do you get a BSOD at ICH8-M AHCI still?

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

I have tried your idea and it does work. Please note I do not use all of your driverspack (just textmode for mass-storage) so the chipset information was helpful. I placed the chipset and iastor installer under $OEM$ folder in the root of the cd.

cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"infinst_autol.exe /s"
"iata78_cd.exe"

*Note* I extracted the iata78_cd files using /extract_all:C:\iata_cd and created a sfx winrar archive and was able to reduce the setup size from 21 MB to 12MB.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

Yay! thanks for testing and reporting it makes driverpacks better for everyone!

PS you should have used 7zip for your self extracting exe in this way you could have reduced the size even further perhaps as low as 6 meg.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

@adam_w
7zip is a great free tool. There is a small tool called createurSFX for making installers with 7z..
DriverPacks are not perfect in sysprep point of view (still a lot of same filenames, same service names) but a good deal of conflicting hardware ID was "judiciously" pruned so it has become easier to use DriverPacks.
LD? La Douce..

@ overflow
mentioning chipset did some good.
adam_w did not use it and it was part of the problem, so we all learned by my "noobie" comment.

hehe, I learned something too here.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

I would like to get an exception written for intel 7.08.1017 ahci hwids so that when the ahci mode is used that it will install what is also needed very early on, before first reboot.

I would like to get an exception written for intel 7.08.1017 ahci hwids so that when the ahci mode is used that it will install what is also needed very early on, before first reboot.

I will have to sleep on that idea... we don't currently have a mechanisim to do that.
(since no other driver has ever been dependent on its management console)
It seems to me that this is an intel problem not a driverpacks problem.

the only idea that is ocuring to me at the moment is to customize the INF of the driver (which would break signing)

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

chipset once had exceptions
the console installer with an exception on "super generic" 8086&CC_0106 ?

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

hmmmn, if we can do this in chips it is perfect, because chipset has to be installed to make intel ahci work.

@ adam,_W
Thanks.
U helped us help you, and made me think about things I never looked at before.

(an aside...IT specialists usually never explain. They fix. I am not an IT specialist. I know maybe 5 percent of what overflow knows about this great project. BUT, I have seen Jeff post the "extra mile" when I did not expect he would. I thank him for sticking to his principles and thank the people whom explain "truthfully", and not hide the mistakes they made. I once told Jeff I use the noobie principle. Hey, that's how I learned it. And how we all learn. I come from scratch, I should be able to explain this to a real noob. We assume our users are not noobs, but I will often find myself in "learning" mode when I read specialised IT guru's methods.)

We all learn. always.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: Intel AHCI Issue

abdou, you got 804a?
that one had a older version of iastor driver.
'804b_promise' has an eror in it, setup cannot proceed. (when I updated a promise driver, I missed a double comma...)

We have seen that it (804 release) works when the "raid-console" aka "intel matrix driver console" gets installed before first restart.
I will get motherboards to test on, and I don't care if I have to buy them just for tests.

The current driver pack for mass storage cause XP to blue screen with an error message on Thinkpad X61 (Your computer has been shutdown down to prevent damage).

Back to first post. Please clarify: when do you get a BSOD?

I understand windows installation:
1. textmode setup
2. first reboot, gui mode setup
3. second reboot, boot to windows

If cmdlines.txt is processed, installation survived first reboot.
Then iastor.sys was valid after first boot. PNP at gui mode setup made a invalid iastor.

Driver Iastor.sys is signed. iaahci.inf is edited and iaahci.cat invalid therefore.
Does this matter?

@abdou
Can you try default XP sources and add iastor 7.8 at F6 USB floppy?
