WinPe 2004 - win32 SmartStart Toolkit - Lights-Out

[James Swarm]

When booting from my WinPE 2004 CD, that was built using the toolkit script file. The drivers for the ILO and Insight Management seem like they never get loaded. I am also unable to use the hponcfg utility.

Using Devcon, the HW ID's that do not have drivers are:

PCI\VEN_0E11&DEV_B204&SUBSYS_B2060E11
PCI\VEN_0E11&DEV_B203&SUBSYS_B2060E11

The .inf files are in the winpe inf directory, the sys files are in the drivers directory. Other files moved during the install are.

sm2user.dll = system32
insthlth.dll = system32

Any ideas why these can't be loaded? The system I am working on is a DL380 G4, but I have also tried the same build disk on a DL360 G3. Nic and SCSI drivers are working fine as I have both local disk and net access.

I have found out that the ILO and other Compaq management drivers only load if "factory -winpe" is run. I tend to use the following manual method. Is there anyway to get these management drivers loaded under the netcfg setup?

regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll
factory -minint
netcfg -v -winpe
net start dhcp
net start nla
net start "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service"

Jim,

I was having the same problem also. I believe that the -winpe switch is what tells the OS to go and load OEM drivers. Without that it will just load up the default microsoft drivers. If you have found a way to do this without using the -winpe switch please post it.
