7.6.1 How to Add a Third-Party OEM Network Adapter
to a RIS Installation
Problem
: An error is encountered when attempting to load the Broadcom device driver for a
32-bit version of Windows XP, or later operating system, using a Windows 2000 Remote
Installation Server:
File b57w2k.sys caused an unexpected error (21) at line 3752 in
d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\setup.c.
Solution
: A modification to the b57win32.inf file can be made to allow for the installation to
complete successfully. This will be in conjunction with instructions from the Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article 315279 that describe "How to Add Third-Party OEM Network
Adapters to RIS Installations."
Requirement:
The Windows 2000 Server must be running Service Pack 3 or later.
1.
Obtain the latest driver for your Broadcom adapter. The driver files included for the
Broadcom 57xx adapter are b57win32.inf, b57win32.cat, and b57xp32.sys.
2.
Create a copy of the b57win32.inf and b57xp32.sys files and save them in a separate
folder called RIS. This allows you to distinguish the duplicate files from the originals.
3.
For the b57win32.inf file located in the RIS folder, make the following change using a
text editor such as Notepad:
a.
Locate
[Manufacturer]
within the file.
b.
Review the line below which reads:
%BRCM% = Broadcom, NTx86.5.1,
NTamd64
.
