Jeremy Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Can anyone tell me what an "Intel® 82801EB LPC Interface Controller - 24D0" is?I have a FireWire card that is recognised by my PC but anything connected to it won't show any life signs. This unknown device controls PCI devices as far as me and my friend know, but the drivers for it aren't even on the Dell XP Home SP1 CD and this device has never been unknown before.

Bilou_Gateux Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Not found an answer for your specific chipset, but may be this info about Intel® 815EG chipset can help you:The Intel 815EG chipset contains two components: the Intel 82815EG Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the 82801BA I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2). The GMCH integrates a processor system bus of 66, 100, 133 MHz, and a system bus controller, with integrated 2D/3D graphics accelerator, along with a 100/133 MHz SDRAM controller. The ICH2 integrates an Ultra ATA 66/100 controller, two USB host controllers with an LPC interface controller, FWH interface controller, PCI interface controller, AC'97 digital link, integrated LAN controller, and a hub interface for communication with the GMCH.what is your motherboad manufacturer and model ?

Jeremy Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Something just isn't right. I had this firewire card for 5 years or more and it always worked fine. One day, it just stopped working altogether. I have a Maxtor External HD and a DVC that I connect to the PC through this thing and they don't show any life to the PC. I even bought a new FireWire card yesterday and the same thing happens. I nLite my PC, but non of my nLite ISO's have ever caused the hardware not to work, I don't remove the FireWire drivers. In Device Manager, I get Unknown Device and installing my Chipset drivers given to me by Dell, that device stil remains unknown. I even tried switching PCI ports to see if that would magically work. All my other hardware is fine. I have NO idea why this has happened and what to do to fix it to regain access to my external HD and my videocamera through the PC.After I put it in a different PCI slot, the new hardware icon popped up in the System Tray but soon disappeared without popping up the New Hardware Wizard. Whatever this "Intel® 82801EB LPC Interface Controller - 24D0" device is, it apparently controls PCI devices. I have discussed this with a friend of mine and he thinks the PC sees my FireWire partly because under Network Adapters in Device Manager, "1394 Net Adapter" shows up. But whatever allows the PC to see devices that are connected to the FireWire ports, isn't working properly, I guess. My best guess, that is.

Jeremy Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ok, I've dug into this more and I think perhaps I need the INFInst.exe for my particular Chipset Family. I am unsure what family mine is, but I have installation files for my particular one on my Dell ResourceCD. However, this does not fix the "Unknown Device" Yellow ? and ! in Device Manager...How do I find out what Chipset Family mine is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
