Problem solved. Did not remember to restart the "Remote installation service" after copying the driver files to the I386. Rookie mistake.

 

Im having this problem also.

Tried both DELL and Broadcoms drivers and tried the edit inf file solution but none has worked. And we did restart the Remote Installation Service.

What is causing this problem?

I found a reply from someone who suggested below:

After copying the $oem$ folder to every ris "image" on my RIS server it works...
The search order is a mystery to me?

I tried this and it worked????

Good luck

I got it to work, and I can verify the above steps.

In a nutshell:

1)Download the latest drivers from Broadcom.com (not the ones from Dell site). Although I am using XP, I downloaded both the XP and 2K drivers (I just copied the b57w2k.sys file, not the  other 2k ones).

2) Edit the b5win32.inf.sys file with the steps at this broadcom.com link:  http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/faq_drivers.php#80 )  This is only for the .sys file that you will put in the $oem$\$1\Drivers\Nice directory.  DO NOT EDIT the .sys file that you place in the i386d directory--just use the default one, unmolested, from the broadcom.com site.

3) Copy both the $oem$ directory AND the files that you place in the i386 directory to every RIS image folder that you have on your RIS server.

4)Restart the RIS service.

Once I did this, my image was working.  Ideally, I would try to isolate each image to see exactly which one I needed to copy to, but, since I dont have the time or the patience, I will just leave the files in each RIS image folder.

Good luck!
