Groan, I had to upload a new 7101Xperimental.

The drivers for Sil Image witth BIOS 7.x.83 still had full list of HWIDs in them.
A user with an older BIOS could have seen windows loading the driver for later BIOS, and have a Blue screen.

The Experimental is, after all, also trying to get rid of the SFX_MiniPacks.

(duplicate HWIDS for SiL Image BIOS 7x83 removed from 4\B\ and 5\B INFs)

very nice work guys... i should be into my slow season soon (winter).
this is all very important and well done.

the EXPERIMENTAL bit;
S\4 for bios 4.x.79 (SiL Image 3112, 10/23/2006, 1.3.67.0)
S\4\B for bios 4.x.83 (SiL Image 3112, 04/13/2007, 1.3.68.2)

S\5 for bios 4.x.79 (Sil Image 3112 Raid, 03/14/2006, 1.0.56.1)
S\5\B for bios 4.x.83 (Sil Image 3112 Raid, 02/01/2007, 1.0.60.0)

Silicon Image RAID drivers have &CC_0104 tagged to the HWIDs in INI.
The Silicon Image base mode have &CC_0101 tagged to the HWIDs in INI.

NOTES.
A first few tests were done, Method 2, QSC ON, DISC based installation for WINDOWS XP.
Windows 2003 and 2000 were NOT yet tested here.

This experimental testpack still has a number of files with same name.
Future experimental packs will attempt to get rid of duplicated names in driver info and systemfiles.

An observation:
Renaming files and editing the INF can make "some" driver fail.
(It appears some drivers have the drivername hardcoded in the SYS.)
=================

work to do.

SiL 3132 has cards with FIVE different BIOS versions by now.
Several of those 3132 drivers which are meant for a particular BIOS have only one or two unique HWIDs in them, one of them has NO unique HWIDs. We have a problem if we only update to latest driver..
--------------

I do not want code tags.

Another question: how I can to determine sata bios version? (for SiI chip)

You can find the BIOS version in the properties of the Silicon Image Controler, which you can find under "hardware manager - SCSI controlers"

null@example.com (Jaak) — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 10:01:50 +0000

yes, I will do a new EXPERIMENTAL with CC_010x tagged HW ids.

I look at the screens while the machine powers up, and hit pause.
(you most likely have to change a BIOS setting so that the screens show.)

I believe there is a tool to read BIOS version, but do not remember the topic.

OOPS.
I tried it on a machine with some silicon image chip, and 7096 halted during setup.

testfile 7096 and the experimental (which was based on 7096) will be pulled.

testfile 7094 is back online

Re: 3ware 9650SX support

null@example.com (Jaak) — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 20:56:37 +0000

here was a bad experimental pack for silicon image.

it got reworked, and link is in a later post.
-----------------------------------------------------------

the TXTmode sections for silicon Image, (ONLY in the in the INI) have HWIDs tagged with &CC_0101 or &CC_0104

If this works, it means we do not have to edit the driver's INF files to tag the &CC_010x to the HWIDs.
If it doesn't, it doesn't.
I am not going to volunteer to change all those INF files each time there is an update.

BUT, if this does work, it could mean that we have a solution for the overlap in those PATA/SATA and RAID drivers.

@ stiertje,
The driver for bios 4.x.83 has been made to NOT load HWIDs which are supported in an older driver, because there is reason to believe the driver intended for an older BIOS works on a newer BIOS.
The driver for a newer BIOS was reported to NOT work on an older BIOS.

GROANS.... setup error on my second testrig (which has silicon chip inside).
Virtual PC and a socket 478 with extreme CPU machine showed nothing extrordinary, but silicon failed just the same.

back to the drawing board.

Of course almost all is in the file somewhere already, added by Driverpacks Base, and I don't know the significance of the [FileFlags] tab. Main thing is that the [SCSI.Load] additions are on top of the whole list. This means that they load before the rest, and I seem to recall some issue with SiI Raid devices where the solution was to let the Raid driver load before the Base driver

.......

Found where it was mentioned

7.04 (03 Apr 07)
Fixed
- ATI (Siliconimage) 3112 driver (Muiz)
- INI: [V-3] appeared twice (Jaak)
- INI: [H-1], fix for win2003 and XP. (also a Bart PE fix) (OverFlow & jtdoom)
- INI: make Silicon Image SiI3112r RAID mode drivers load before non-RAID (Jaak)
- INI: [IN-2-winnt-x86], added: "Intel ICP Vortex SCSI RAID" (Jaak)

.......

Anyway, 7.04 was the driverpack version where things were starting to go wrong, so it might be the problem.

I see what you mean. Didn't think about that.

Anyway, I integrated the latest drivers with nLite after the driverpacks integration, and that seems to work out fine. Maybe I can find out what exactly is different between my cd with only the driverpacks and my cd with manually integrated (well, nlited) si3112 driver. I hope to have some time tomorrow, so I will let you know if I see something different.

At the moment the BIOS version is 4.2.83. S\4\B does not have an entry yet for this HWID. S\4 does have an entry, but that one also didn't work. The problem still remains that the card is recognized in textmode as a Raid device instead of a Base device.

BTW, did some research:

- PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_436E&SUBSYS_436E1002 is in both S-4 and S-5, though TXTSETUP.SIF only gives the non-raid version. Same counts for PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4379&SUBSYS_43791002 and PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_437A&SUBSYS_437A1002
- PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_31121095 is in S-4, but not in S-4-B

Don't know if it is usefull information though.

I liked your suggestion about making an edited "copy" for that single compaq HWID.
(the other HWIDs this old driver had are still covered by the newest adaptec.)

The idea has been stolen from G\N\1 (nv4_disp.inf and nv4_go.inf) so at the end it is a driverpacks.net idea and not my one.
