  • 1.  Ghost 2.5 and the AMD AHCI Sata Controller

    Posted Apr 13, 2009 03:32 PM

    I have quite a few HP 6735b's with that AMD AHCI Sata Controller.  I need to clone quite a few laptops and I have followed the forum on where you need to update the pci.manifast.txt

    I have added this line:


    {
         0X1002 = {
     0x4391 = (0x30e3103c)

      }
     }

    And I have also added the driver to the WINPE-512 boot and I sitll get this error message.   Has anybody been able to remedy this??

    You do not need to update pci.manifest.txt. Please first run Live update and get all three Live updates installed in succession - 1, 2 and 3. You then find and open c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\symantec\ghost\template\common\skip.manifest.txt file and insert additional line like so:

    {  0X1002 = { 0x4391 = (0x30e3103c)  } },

    followed by the line already there. So you would have two AHCI devices to skip. This file is no text file so be careful with commas and brackets.

    You then go to Ghost boot wizard, Winpe editor and add/remove any driver that you dont need to trigger Winpe recompile. Once complete your Winpe is ready to be used in Console and making bootable media.

    Cheers.

    The format for the pci.manifest file should look like this:

     {
     PCIVendor# = {
     PCDevice = ()
     }}

    Example:

    {
    0x1317 = {
    0x987 = ()
    }}

    )

    Try this driver:

    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/integrated_mce-xp.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English&rev=9.4&ostype=

    And use this document to import it:


    Title: 'How to add drivers to DeployAnywhere or WinPE.'
    Document ID: 2008050916132860
    > Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/on-technology.nsf/docid/2008050916132860?Open&seg=ent

    The PCI vendor number is one I recognize. This driver should resolve the issue. Plus you really want to resolve this error with a driver because if you alter the pci file and then refresh the wim file in the future all of your changes will be undone.

    I forgot to mention in the first post that I tried adding those drivers to the WinPE512 boot and I was able to add them successfully but no luck.

    After adding those drivers from the link that you provided me into the WinPE512 it still gives the same exact error message.

    I am not 100% certain if these are the correct folder with the drivers but when I look at the extraced folder \9-4_xp32-64_raid\RAID7xx\x86  I think those are the corect ones but it sill errors out.

    It now allows me to execute the task without error but when I am executing the task to pull the computer, the comptuer boots up into the WinPE and it sits there on the command prompt.  I can v erify that it is getting an IP but nothing happens.......  What could be the problem??
