let me start by saying I'm more of a Solaris guy, so PXE / RIS installation is new to me (jumpstart is our main deployment method). so if someone has some notes on integrating MSD drivers with UDA that a noob could follow please post!!
I've been trying to get mass storage device drivers to work and haven't figure it out yet. My next idea was to build a slipstream boot cd of windows 2003 server for the drivers I need and configure the OS with that cd image. unfortunately that doesn't work either, i am getting this error when trying to configure the os:
Running command |/bin/mount -t iso9660 -o loop /var/public/smbmount/uda/w2k3_SP1_galaxy_build.iso /var/public/tftproot/WI2K3| ERROR
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
/var/log/messages just says
Dec 19 18:33:22 uda1c kernel: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
here are the notes i'm using to build the slipstream cd:
CREATING A SLIPSTREAM ( changing Windows installation CD-R ![]()
1. The first step requires collecting:
Windows 2003 Server CD
ISOBuster - freely downloadable from www.isobuster.com
nlite - available at www.nliteos.com
.netframework from microsoft webpage
LSI 1064 drivers that can be found at http://www.lsilogic.com/cm/LookupDownloads.do?role=1&geo=ALL&category=-1&family=-1&product=8278&subt...
Please select the drivers you wish to use. You will be presented with a list of a number of available drivers. Among them there will be also 32bit and 64bit drivers for Windows 2003. Depending on the version of you Windows you may choose between both. Generally though you would probably want to download the 64bit version.
2. Secondly you need to copy contents of the Windows 2003 Server cd onto a hard drive.
3. Capture the bootimage from Windows CD using ISOBuster. Before we simply burn the resulting file set to a CD, we need to make sure we have a hidden file found on your Windows CD that will make your new CD bootable. For that reason we need to use a shareware tool called ISOBuster, which you can find on the Smart Projects Web site (or using the link provided above).
After you download and install ISOBuster, choose to use only the product's free functionality, unless you decide to purchase it. The ISOBuster UI will resemble the following (assuming you have left your Windows CD in
the CD-ROM drive):
On the left-side tree view, make sure you have selected the node named Bootable CD. You should see a file called Microsoft Corporation.img (or similar) in the right side of ISOBuster. This is the file you need to extract. To do so, right-click and choose Extract Microsoft Corporation.img. When ISOBuster prompts you, choose to download it to the root of your C: drive. Now you can close ISOBuster.
4. Unpack LSI drivers
5. install nlite and .netframework (without .netframework nlite will not work)
6. Please follow nlite wizard (in our case add drivers )
7. At this moment we have lsi drivers included into windows so we are going to burn a bootable CD.
First, start Nero Burning ROM (assuming that you are using Nero) and choose CD-ROM (Boot) from the New Compilation's Boot page. Then, under "Source of boot image data," choose "Image file" and select C:\Microsoft Corporation.img by clicking the Browse button. Then, select the option titled "Enable expert settings (for advanced users only)" and change "Kind of emulation" to No Emulation, and change "Number of loaded sectors" to 4.
The "Load segment of sectors" option should remain at its default value of 07C0(please check it in ISOBuster).
Now, select the Label page in Nero Burning ROM. Under "Volume label, ISO 9660" enter the name of your CD (please check the original volume name of your Windows CD).
Now, click the New button. The New Compilation dialog disappears and the main window of Nero Burning ROM is available.
On the right side of the application, in the File Browser area, navigate to C:\w2003 (or other depending on where you decided to store the contents of your Windows CD). Then, select all of the files inside of that directory and copy them over to the new CD. Now you're ready to burn the CD. Click the Burn icon in the toolbar, or choose Recorder and then Burn Compilation, and then click the Burn button. Nero will cache the files and then write them to disc.
