I am deleting links to the testversions.
we had test versions linked to here, and the mass storage updates do not work.

So far it seems to me that the best working setup for the 27C1 has been the 6.2.1.x drivers with the updated chipset pack.  That detected fine in textmode, and ended up with a setup that worked.

Thanks,

it looked correct, but was not.

mass 7059test3 is running a live test here.

a hit in [IN-3] for ICH6 had no description. I looked at that, and think I got that section right now.

uploading 7058test2 and 7059test2
since these test two different principles described above, I keep the names close to what they were.

PLEASE; IF you are testing these 7058 and 7059 test versions, PLEASE REPORT

Sometimes takes me a bit to get around to testing it (have to work doing it around doing other things).

Handful of typos in the 7059 version.  A comma as the first character in the file, the [IN-3] section referred to iastor2.sys when the directory has iastor3.sys, and some screwed up quotes around one of the compaq entries (sorry, can't remember which one off the top of my head).

After cleaning those up, I ran it up to the partitioning spot, where with this package I again get "unknown [MBR]" as the device the disk is on.  Probably won't get a chance to run it all the way through the complete setup today (which also means I won't till next week).

Have to admit, I'm a little suspicious of the 7.5 drivers.  It kinda bothers me that intel still doesn't list them for download at their site.  And they definitely don't seem to like to come up for my chipset.

I am thinking about this, and would like to do an experiment, by putting the "unsupported' HWIDs of iastor 6.2.1.x into iastor 7.5.0.x and then get rid of 6.2.1.x 5 (and make the adjustments in the pack's INI file accordingly)

yesterday, I made a testpack 705.8 with another approach.
I did INF edits, and renamed the files so that references in the INF could not point to a (wrong) identically named file. Then I made changes to the pack's INI because the filenames changed.

So I guess from what I can tell, at least using the updated chipset drivers, and putting the 27C1 device with the iastor1 driver (6.2.1), that appears to solve the problem I was having.  So I guess that'd be my recommendation for the next release of the driverpack.

Thanks,
Gary

re-uploaded testing version for mass storage, and changed name to 7055test

So like I said, the plus is it seems to work.  I'm just not sure that the way it got to the working stage is quite right .

BTW, there are a couple of extra carriage returns in the MassStorage test file there, both in the ms_1_hwids lines of [IN-1-0] and [IN-2] I believe.  Causes bad txtsetup.sif files until they're removed.  (Easy enough to find and fix though).

Thanks,
Gary

this one ought to fix some problems we had.
(this post said 7054test, it is updated to 7055test)

http://users. link removed

chipsets TEST version was renamed (to make it clear that this was a test version), and renaming it made it go awol. (sorry)

(Also tried the rapidshare link from the chipsets forum, and shows as deleted, even after your post saying they were back).

I think however that I might have figured out how to put in the updated chipset drivers myself, so I think I'll try building a version myself and giving it a try.
