Whistler upgrade problem

I’ve found a problem upgrading Win2000 with our Scsi Miniport installed.
During the initial file copy the installer brings up a warning “Cannot copy
lata.sys to c:\winn$BT$\ata.lata.sys”. lata.sys seemed to be a
temp/compressed version of our miniport (intelata.sys).

The installer then gave me an option to “skip, retry, exit” I skipped the
file then the system rebooted. On reboot the installer came up with a
screen that said “IntelAta.sys not found! Press any key to exit setup.”

Is there some fundamental issue with upgrading to Whistler, that requires a
boot driver (running in win2000) to be part of the install package?

Note: were upgrading to Whistler version: Professional-2239.

It would seem to me that your %systemroot%\repair\setup.log file contains
incorrect information about your driver. This information would’ve come
from the INF file used during install of your miniport.

If you’re unable to resolve this issue, you could try pressing F8 during the
blue setup screen when the installer first loads – this will give you the
ability to select which miniports you’d like the kernel to load for setup.

What in the INF file may be incorrect?
