Hi there,
I am trying to create a universal image and am having problems with one particular laptop series.
I will leave out details of imaging as its not actually relevent to the problem - I am using mySysPrep to detect correct HAL though for those that are interested and it works very well.
With this one series of laptop if I go into Device manager and try to downgrade the HAL Advanced Control & Power Interface (ACPI) shows as a valid compatible HAL. Of course it wouldnt have support for x2 cores but still - it should boot and work.
However when I reboot following this it blue screens. If I manually change the HAL files back it then works again. So its not mass storage driver issues.
Why would a HAL show as compatible but then not work upon reboot?
Its driving me crazy so if anyone could give me a clue I would be most grateful!
