Dell GX260 Unattend Notes

Background

Dell's new GX260 line has several hardware items that XP doesn't detect, even XP Service Pack 1. This is how to hack in support into the unattend.txt file.

Disclaimer, this work was done by people on my staff, just documenting what they did.... Thanks to Chris Tribo for figuring this out

Build the $oem$\$1 tree

The tree should look like this:

$1:
drivers

$1/drivers:
chipset  net  sound  video

$1/drivers/chipset:

$1/drivers/chipset/GX260:

unattend.txt mods

Make sure unsigned drivers is enabled in [unattend] and add this to [unattend] section:

OemPnPDriversPath=\drivers\chipset\GX260;\drivers\net\E1000;\drivers\sound\GX260;\drivers\video\GX260

Some notes

chipset\gx260 directory: This directory contains two packages in it.

The ICH4 chipset inf's were taken from Intel's web site, extracted, then copied the INF's and CAT's for only the ICH4 chipset here. The USB updates came from Dell's resource CD for the GX260. Package ID is: R42697.

E1000 directory:

This driver is for the onboard integrated Intel Gigabit Ethernet NIC found in the Dell GX260 (i845). Dated 5/20/2002 from Dell's web site from file R42108.exe (8254x Etherenet chip name)
