Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Does anyone have a sample unattend.txt or winnt.sif for a DL380 G3? I specifically need the drivers section, as it blue screens with "unavailable boot device" error.

This should be the sections you need, and this should work for the entire ML/DL lines:

Re: Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Well, I added the information from your last post, but still blue screen on the reboot after the winnt.exe command. It starts up, then goes thru starting to load drivers, but blue screens with unavailable boot device again. Any other ideas?

Make sure you have a textmode folder beneath the $OEM$ share that has all the drivers mentioned. You also need to have a txtsetup.oem file that contains mappings to the controller name -> driver file. Here is a copy of my file:

[Disks]
d1 = "ProLiant(R) Support Pack for Windows 2000",.\disk1,.

Make sure this file is located at the root of the $OEM$ folder, as well as in the textmode folder.

Let me know if it works.

Re: Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Well, it no longer blue screens. Turns out I didn't have an OemFilesPath variable in my unattended.txt file. So, that hurdle past. Out of curiousity, have you had it pause during the copying of files and error that it couldn't find banana.ani? I have a banana.an_ in my i386 dir, and even put a banana.ani in the dir, but to no avail.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Hi Thomas, does it regularly fail on the same file? I have had it hiccup the odd time, but it never does it consistently. The next server I would build would be fine. I have heard of problems with your i386 folder becoming "corrupt" so to speak. Something to do with extra files being present, or the compression of some files being wrong? If it continues to happen it may be worth putting a fresh copy of the i386 folder on your share or CD and re-slipstreaming.

Glad the blue screens are gone...they can be the most frustrating I find.

Re: Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Oh, so close! I have gotten it to the last bit (I think), but I get a "The manufacturer provided file that setup is trying to use is corrupted or invalid: Line 1 contains a syntax error" and the forces you to exit setup

Any other ideas?

Re: Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Hi Thomas, do you have the following lines in your unattend file under the [unattend] heading?

OemPreinstall=Yes
OemSkipEula=Yes
OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No

Sorry for the mistake, but the above post should read "...[unattended] heading..."

Re: Unattend.txt + DL380 G3

Didn't have the overwriteonupgrade set, but turns out that that wasn't it. I was looking at my floppy, and there was a Winnt.sif file on it. I removed it, and the install finally went thru! Thanks much for the help and advice. Never could get banana.ani to copy, for some reason :)


Anywho.... just out of curiousity... have you ever had WWW Publishing service error out with a "Unknown Authentication Service"?

Thanks again for your help!
