Bug in Smartstart 6.2? "Error in txtsetup.sif"

[Ulrich Schulte]

I try to setup a DL380 / G3 with Smartstart 6.2. I want to install Windows 2000 for Microsoft Select Customers and use the original Select CD. I click through the SmartStart Process and the W2K-Files are copied from the CD. But when the unattended setup starts, I get an "error in txtsetup.sif" and a missing entry for IDE Atapi CD-ROM in the SCSI-Section of this file. Setup cannot continue. I have four DL380s of the same generation and this happens with all the machines. Can anybody help me?

You must select the same language in Smartstart and for windows 2000...

Thank You - this works. But this is nowhere documented, is it? I lost a whole day experimenting with this problem...I think, HP should correct this problem or add a better documentation.

You can boot with boot fdd (DOS or W98) and with any dos navigator change ALL in txtsetup.txt in SCSI devices from your laguage to english. It works fine. So you can install W2K with languages that not listed in SmartStart. :)
