Abstract:
An information handling system downloads device drivers for recovery operation of the information handling system, and subsequently obtains first configuration information associated with each of the device drivers. The system performs an inventory of devices associated with the information handling system that includes obtaining second configuration information associated with each of the devices in the inventory, and compares the first configuration information and the second configuration information. If the particular device driver is missing, then the system downloads the particular device driver prior to boot to a service operating system.
