Intel 915 GM / ICH6-M - Stop 0x0000007B

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hello,

I made a windows xp pro install and sysprepped it to create a "golden
image". Now I use Ghost to duplicate this image to the different pc's I
maintain. This works fine for 865G, 945G chipsets with attached sata drives.
However, when I try to place this image on my laptop with ICH6-M I get the
above mentioned stopcode. I assume this is because it can't find the drivers
for this sata controller. I've tried placing the driver in oempnpdriverspath
but this does not solve it. (Seems logical, I don't know how xp can read the
driver for the disk controller from the same disk)
Another solution is to use the $OEM$ structure but again, this is also
located on the very same disk. This is different when you install from cd or
a network share.
I found in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082/ a solution to this
problem: add the drivers (iastor.sys) manually to the registry. They give an
example for "intelide" as follows:

;Add driver for intelide (requires intelide.sys in drivers directory)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IntelIde]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Group"="System Bus Extender"
"Start"=dword:00000000
"Tag"=dword:00000004
"Type"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"=hex(2):53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,44,00,\
52,00,49,00,56,00,45,00,52,00,53,00,5c,00,69,00,6e,00,74,00,65,00,6c,00,69,\
00,64,00,65,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,00,00

So my question is now: can I follow the same procedure for iastor.sys and
what do I have to merge with the registry. I can imagine the ImagePath is
different for iastor.sys and maybe lots of other things to. Preferably, I'd
like to apply these changes directly to my ghost image.

Thanks in advance,
stijn
