- RIS and Fibre cards
- Posted by gherkin on January 6th, 2006
I am trying to use RIS with an Allied Telesyn Fibre card. We can PXE boot
from the card and start the image. It freezes at the 'Setup is starting
windows' screen just before it switches from PXE to SMB. I have integrated
the AT drivers in to the base OS on RIS.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Windows XP SP2. I have now found the problem. We had to wipe the MBR record
on the disk. It appears to be a problem with Dell GX620s only. Problem now
resolved. Thanks for the swift reply.
