Network boot a Satellite Pro A300-00J

hi guys, I really need your help right now. Here is my problem...

I need to ghost a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-00J, but I cant find a way to do so. It's got a Marvell Yukon network card, but every driver I used so far simply wont do the thing.

I tried adding the XP driver from the Toshiba site to my Bart PE boot cd (that worked without a hitch so far), that didnt work. I tried the Symantec Ghost boot assistant to create a bootable USB key, that didnt work. I tried to find another driver on the Marvell website, that didnt work either.

The network never seems to mount ! Dont ask if I checked whether the onboard lan was enabled in the bios... it is !

Any clues would be greatly appreciated !!!

Thanx!

 

Hi Guys - right this took me a whole day to figure out!!!! - replace your protocol.ini with the following and ghost will work mint !!!


[network.setup]
version=0x3100
netcard=NIC,1,NIC,1
transport=tcpip,TCPIP
lana0=NIC,1,tcpip

[NIC]
drivername=yuknd$
INTERRUPT=3

[protman]
drivername=PROTMAN$
PRIORITY=NDISHLP

[ndishlp]
drivername=ndishlp$
BINDINGS=NIC
LANABASE=0

[tcpip]
NBSessions=6
DisableDHCP=0
DriverName=TCPIP$
BINDINGS=NIC
LANABASE=0
