Re: [Unattended] Help need with text mode driver ATI SB700/SB800

I ran into the same problem some time ago, and got it working quickly 
enough.  As I recall, the problem is in the [Disks] section.  Windows 
does not like looking in subdirectories for textmode drivers.  Go figure.

Attached my own TXTSETUP.OEM file.  Note that I don't use 64-bit 
Windows, so I manually stripped all references to the 64-bit drivers, 
and deleted the relevant files.  In my case, I have the following files:

ahcix86.cat, ahcix86.inf, ahcix86.sys

... just sitting in the i386\$oem$\textmode\ directory, alongside 
TXTSETUP.OEM.  And [Disks] simply points to ahcix86.sys in the root 
[textmode] directory.

If you need the 64-bit driver, you should probably drop it into 
amd64\$oem$\textmode\  ;)

Also note that I deploy to machines that require the Intel AHCI/RAID 
textmode drivers as well, and they are in the same TXTSETUP.OEM file, 
just using disk1 and disk2.  The driver files also share the textmode 
directory.  I've stripped all of the information from the attached 
TXTSETUP.OEM file, just to keep it concise.  But it's definitely 
possible to include as many textmode drivers as needed.  Well, within 
reason, I guess.  I'm not about to comment on the scalability of the 
Windows textmode installation...  :P
