Fun with Config.sys

[nadriel]

I'm working on this myself, but I thought it was worth checking to see if anyone else had any clues as to why I can't get it to work.

I'm trying to create a boot CD for Ghost, in order to re-image various computers (since we lost RIS on the server and got WDS instead, we can't PXE Boot to Ghost like we used to. Stupid Microsoft updates). Anyway, creating the boot CD is straightforward....up until I try and get the network drivers to function.

My config.sys reads as follows:

device=oakcdrom.sys /d:install
DEVICE=protman.dos
DEVICE=dis_pkt.dos
DEVICE=E1000.dos
lastdrive=z

My autoexec.bat is:

path=a:\;x:\
mouse.com
mscdex.exe /d:install /l:x /m:16 /v
netbind.com
ghost.exe

I have the following files on the CD, all in the root directory:

Autoexec.bat
Command.com
Config.sys
io.sys
mscdex.exe
msdos.sys
oakcdrom.sys
mouse.com
ghost.exe
protocol.ini
dis_pkt.dos
e1000.dos (I believe this is the correct file for the relevant network adapter)
netbind.com
protman.dos
protman.exe

It boots fine, and everything runs okay up to the point where it tries to load Protman.dos, where it comes up with the error: PRO0003E: file open failure.

And without Protman, the rest of the network driver files don't load.

So, any thoughts/tips?

I've had this recently. I had a perfectly scripted boot disc that wouldn't load the drivers but found that re-downloading the drivers from the vendor and putting them on in place of the other drivers did the trick.

When I downloaded the e1000 driver from the IBM website (I was after the driver for an IBM laptop) the difference in size between the new driver and the old driver was quite considerable.

Try that, otherwise meh, I don't know.

have no experience of this myself, but some googling reveals this:

perhaps you need to specify the location of a PROTOCOL.INI file?

but honestly, i have no idea. hope that helps.
