[nForce?] Unknown Device

[Guillaume]

Searched for this for over a day now, can't find a solution...

System specs (of relevance):

AMD Sempron 2800

ASRock ALiveNF4G-DVI

Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 SATA300

I integrated the following drivers:

AMD Sempron C'nC (1.3.2.16)\amdk8.inf,0

nForce (8.26)\Ethernet\nvenetfd.inf,0

nForce (8.26)\IDE\WinXP\sata_ide\nvata.inf,0

nForce (8.26)\SMBus\nvsmbus.inf,0

nVidia (91.31)\nv4_disp.inf,0

Realtek NIC (649)\Netrtlx.inf,0

Realtek Sound (R1.45)\WDM\HDA.inf,0

KB888111 integrated (Meulc Dutch Update Pack + Audio Addon, this works 100% OK, tried it multiple times on other systems)

When installed, Windows first prompts that the SATA-drive is installed. Afterwards, there's one Unknown Device in the Device Manager. I pointed to all driver folders, though none are recognized as being the right driver for the device.

With Unknown Devices, all I get is the following as not being installed properly:

PCI standard ISA bridge

Chip: Nvidia Corp MCP51 LPC Bridge

Search Results (Internal Stuff)

RPL_GOT_VENDER

RPL_GOT_DEVICE

RPL_GOT_NO_SUBID

However, I also get this in Unknown Devices when doing an installation without nLite, but the unknown device is not in the device manager.

1) Is there some driver or hardware support I shouldn't remove? (ini-file attached, and Unknown Devices devices list)

2) After some restarts, the system locks up when starting Windows (occasionally HDD activity, just the Logon screen 'Windows is starting...').

This has happened to me for my pass 2 installations, strangely enough the unknown device in device manager went away after a few days. Have you tried installing the nForce driver package as whole to see if the unknown device gets installed properly?

Yes, after installing Windows I tried to install the nForce driver package again, but without success (the unknown device stayed in the device manager).

Guillaume, I just came across this thread while surfing around which helps to fix the unknown device issue but the problem is that you don't have an Asus motherboard. I never realised that it was the AI Booster software that fixed this issue for me as I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard

I've already came across the issue you've mentioned once on an Asus A8N-VM CSM, but apart from the fact that this is not an Asus A8N motherboard we're dealing with, it also doesn't explain the fact that a regular Windows installation with the nForce drivers etc. installed afterwards doesn't show the 'unknown device' (DeviceList_withoutProblems.txt).

A modest kick...
