Don,
Thanks for the information.
I have other question:
When the setup stopped, I saw it was after copy "adpAHCI.sys". I was
thinking to delete or replace this driver, but I couldn't find anything
called "adpA*.*" on Windows Server 2003 checked build disk or setup directory
on hard drive. Could you please tell me where is this file hiding?

Thanks,

Yaning

I have not encountered that one. Was this in the debugger, I find I can
ride through the ASSERT's by continuing.

Don,
1. So far, I haven't connected to windbg since HP proviant has no way to set
to COM2. (I set BIOS only enable COM2, but from device manager, I only see
COM1, strange!, I pressed F8 when I see F6, but it is not working.). Why we
must set it to COM2 not COM1? Is there other way to get into Windbg?

2. I was told that adpAHCI.sys is in driver.cab, but I still couldn't find
it. I even opened all the *.cab on install CD, I still couldn't find
adpAHCI.sys file. Where it could be?

Thanks,

Yaning

If you only have COM1 then you are going to use one of the other techniques
from my article. I would recommend installing the free build, then doing a
winnt32.exe based upgrade to the checked build and after winnt32 runs but
before the reboot, modify txtsetup.sif to have the debug parameters you
want.

Don,
I have followed your instructions, run the winnt32.exe first,
d:\i386\WINNT32.exe /noreboot /debug4:install.log
When a windows appear, I choice update.
than modified txtsetup.sif in the directory c:\$WIN_NT$.~BT,
OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect /debug /baudrate=115200
/debugport=com1"
OsLoadOptionsVar = '/fastdetect /debug /baudrate=115200 /debugport=com1"
reboot computer, but the Windbg is still not connect and setup hang at
Windows logo.
I have tested two computers with HyperTerminal, the serial connection is
working on both HyperTerminal. Windbg was setup long time ago when I connect
to other computer and develop other Windows Driver, so Windbg setup on
develop computer has no problem.
So what you see is wrong here? Why my Windbg is still not ruining?

I am trying to install Windows 2003 Server checked build, should I use:
SetupDebugOptions="/fastdetect /debug /baudrate=115200 /debugport=com1"
instead of OsLoadOptions and OsLoadOptionsVar?

Thanks,

Yaning
