Ok, today a new Asus motherboard arrived at work, the Asus P4P800 SE. Fine, let's add the nic drivers to my customized WinPE cd so it can make an unattended installation on this motherboard too. No problem, did it a lot of times. But I can't get it to work. Inside the driver package (see link below) browse to PXE\Winxp map and copy driver files to WinPE cd.

*.inf to i386\INF
*.sys to i386\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
*.dll to i386\SYSTEM32

Delete the *.htm and *.txt file, don't need that.

Now WinPE gives a red cross at 'Starting Network'.

It drives me crazy, I tried adding the Windows 2000 drivers, make a totally new WinPE cd, find updated drivers, searched the internet about this issue. But can't get it to work. Tomorrow I will look again at it, and see if I can make it work, but for now I post it here, maybe anyone of you have found out what the problem is.

Some things that can't be the problem;
- Wrong use of OSCDIMG.exe, I made a batch file for it and use that every time, nothing special about it.
- Motherboard itself, I tried another one, same problem

I hope someone can help, if not I will look at it tomorrow, and if I may find the solution, it will be posted here.

Goodnight for now, it has been a long day

It seems to be Microsoft doesn't know either what the problem is. The next thread I posted on Microsoft's system builder website;

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroup...06.phx.gbl%253E

So nothing further yet, but I won't give up.

Still no replies on this thread, to bad

I got good news if someone gets into this problem too. The solution is described below, I copied this post from Microsoft's System Builder site, where user BT found the solution, and posted this in my original thread.

Many thanks to BT!

Hi Sander,

If you haven't already got it working, I just ran into the
same motherboards today, and I actually got it to work,
here's how:

Run the extracted (from the downloaded zip file) setup
program (\Marvell_v628\Windows\Driver\SetupYukonWin.exe)
on a WinXP machine, so that you can find the driver files
at %ProgramFiles%\Marvell\Miniport Driver.

Copy the mrvdlg.dll file to i386\system32
Copy the yukonwxp.sys file to i386\system32\drivers
copy the yukonwxp.inf to i386\inf
In your customized WinPE source.
(these are the only files needed)

Edit the yukonwxp.inf file, and comment out the following
lines:

CatalogFile = yukonwxp.CAT
(This is not needed under WinPE, I actually don't know if
you have to comment this out, but I did)

CopyFiles = wmi
gewmi.mof = 1,,
wmi = 11,wbem\mof
[wmi]
gewmi.mof
(Just comment out all lines with wmi in it)

Save yukonwxp.inf.

Make your new WinPE CD and boot from it... you now have
network access.


Best regards

BT

Finally the solution is there.
