I'm trying to deploy to IBM HS20 blades with Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx NICs. I've followed this KB article and edited b57win32.inf to remove the offending commas and periods. In both my PreSystem and PostSystem directories I've placed b57win32.inf, b57win32.cat, and b57xp32.sys. I've also tried b57w2k.sys instead of b57xp32.sys. Each time the client tries to boot from the network I get the same error set:

Your problem is not with the NIC, but if you view the log it is showing that you are missing the necessary ACPI Multiprocessor HAL in the pre-stage folder for ADS. By the way, you only need to populate the drivers in the presystem folder not postsystem. If the DA does not have the right HAL type, it cannot boot and proceed with provisioning your server. Remember, the DA is a mini-build of Windows Server 2003.
