I created an XP install point with SP3 integrated, created a flat RIS image
from the install point, and can RIS build workstations from that no problem.
I can build a workstation from one of our customised XP SP2 Riprep images,
install SP3 on the workstation, either manually or via WSUS, and it works
fine.
However, if I use Riprep on one of the workstations that has been upgraded
to SP3 to create a customised image, and then try to install this image back
onto the same workstation, the image copies down to the workstation ok, but
at the first reboot after the files have been copied, the workstation cold
boots a couple of seconds after the Windows XP splash bitmap shows at the
start of bootup, and continues to do so until powered off, even if safe mode
is selected.
The workstations are all Dell with Intel processors. I tried our images for
both single core and dual core workstations with the same result.
