Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / August 2006Stop Message: The ACPI BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compl
Ran across this originally in a Windows 2000 Professional installation. The Microsoft Article has you pressing the F7 key (if a compliant BIOS is not currently available) to disable this for setup at the time you would normally press F6 to load additional storage drivers. This work fine, except I actually also need to load a SCSI driver at this point in order to load the O/S. Is there a workaround for this? what about integrating the SCSI driver into a build CD? this is fairly easy & relatively quick. That's what I was toying with tonight, although I've never tried the SCSI driver for booting. I'm going to play with it some, but any tips on where the driver goes into this (or how)? > what about integrating the SCSI driver into a build CD? > this is fairly easy & relatively quick. edit txtsetup.sif. There are 4 sections where you'll need to add the driver. [SourceDiskFiles] -- make the entry the same as another driver like cpqarray.sys [HardwareIdsDatabase] [SCSI.Load] [SCSI] just make them like existing entries but you pull the contents from your driver's txtsetup.oem file. Then toss the .sys into \i386. you then have create an $OEM$\$1\DRIVERS directory off the root of your CD and put the driver, its cab & inf files, etc. in there. then create a basic winnt.sif file that goes in \i386. it should have at a minimum this added to the [Unattended] section of winnt.sif (beyond the mandatory [Data] stuff & some other: [Unattended] OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS;" OemPreinstall=Yes look at the help for the support deployment tools for info on this file and a tool for creating a basic one... ignore the crap about a MassStorageDrivers (or something similar) directive. It doesn't work very well, & you may find it doesn't work at all with some drivers. I know it won't with some SATA drivers. Do it the way i've outlined above... i've been doing this since 2000 and added countless drivers. If Dell or Compaq made it, i've added their server adapters (along with updating existing ones by adding the new hardware IDs & replacing the driver). Great, I really appreciate it. I'll give it a run tomorrow. > edit txtsetup.sif. There are 4 sections where you'll need > to add the driver.

Is there a workaround for this? f7, then f6 while there's still time. f7 SILENTLY disables acpi. It should work. the F6 option allows you to select multiple items, one at a time; look carefully and don't choose "done/continue" 'til you've added each item that you need from the scrolling list. |
