[ghost] PXE Booting HP Mini 5102

[mdking]

Hi all,

 

Having a slight problem with ghost.

 

Recently taken delivery of a few HP mini 5102 laptops.

 

The laptops NIC is a marvell yukon.

 

 

Im trying to boot from the network, loads ghost fine however the NIC turns it self off.

 

I have created a ghost CD with (what i think is the correct drvier) but still no joy.

 

 

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

 

Many thanks

 

Matt

I seem to remember the HP NIC driver didn't work with our DC7800s and I used the universal one.

I take it the boot disk's you asked me for didnt work?

 

You can also try this taken from....Source

 

In BIOS

System Configuration

Built In Device Options

Un-Check Audio Device (turn it off). this will also disable the microphone and internal speakers.

 

All other BIOS settings are set to Factory Default

 

Also If you experience a stack overflow you may have to adjust the FIX= value in the protocol.ini to 1 or 3 - [source]
