RIS Problems With Compaq Evo

Hi,

I've been testing RIS for the past 2 months and it all seems to work fine,
with most of our hardware. However I've just tried to install windows 2000
to a Compaq Evo D51U (slimline desktop) and received the following blue
screen error "Stop 0x00000BB - initialisation failure attempting to boot
from network".

These Evo's have been a problem in the past. For some reason you can't build
a hard disk then clone the disk for another evo, as it just fails with an
inaccessible boot disk error, each one has to be installed manually, which
takes a lot of time. I was hoping RIS would solve this problem. However it
looks like they are still going to cause problems.

I've searched MS site, however can't find anything on this problem. Can
anyone help?

Ben

Ben,

Have you posted this in the Setup NG? I am sure that Oli or Scott will have
an answer for you.

I guess the question is what is the NIC in that machine?

HTH,

Cary

Cary,

It's an on board intel pro 100, which is normally fine.

I'll try the setup NG.

Cheers

Ben

Ben,

I am not so sure that things are normally fine with the Intel Pro/100.
Please take a look at the following article from the Intel Website:

http://support.intel.com/support/net...0023-prd38.htm

IIRC, the Intel Pro/100+ is the one that is supported by RIS. Or am I just
being too picky and not allowing the possibility that you left off the "+"?

HTH,

Cary
