HP EliteBook 6930P doesn't work in linux automation with updated drivers
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 2 comments
I'm running 6.9 build 164 and I received a new laptop model (HP Elite Book 6930P) to image. I'm currently using PXE with Linux Automation to push images to my Desktops and Laptops. Everything is running great except for the 6930P. I have to use DOS automation in order to push an image to it, which is slow. I followed article 43591 at http://kb.altiris.com to update my Linux pre-boot drivers. This did not resolve my issue. It will boot into Linux automation and stop at #. It's as if it doesn't see my disk, so I set it to IDE in BIOS and had the same problem. I'm hoping someone out there has resolved this with the 6930P and can offer some helpful solutions.
Thanks,

We don't use HP here, but it could be something as simple as your BIOS settings. I know with our Dells, we have to change the SATA operation to get the imaging to work properly.

Linux mass storage drivers requires 2 files. They are ahci.ko and ata_piix.ko
Did you add them via boot disk creator as well?
