Sorry I have been so unresponsive myself - dealing with having to move server rooms as well as imaging troubles as well as other stuff.

Anyway, testing the MassStorage 11.09.1b2 DP on the Toshiba Tecra R850 that started this thread in AHCI mode worked a charm!

Testing was with the MassStorage 11.09.1b2 DP only. I'm now getting a DVD with all DriverPacks ready for a final test with all the hardware on this laptop.

Thanks once again. Donation sent smile

I hope to test that version on the Toshiba laptops I was having trouble with tomorrow, fingers crossed (I get a lot of distractions, the client being a school!). With all the new hardware in them, it should be a good test.

Sorry. I've been unable to get back to carry out the test. I hope to test the released 11.09 this week on the affected laptops and will report back when it's done.

Sorry for the delay on this again.

I'm in Auckland where it wasn't so bad. The Waitakere ranges to our west got a very light dusting of snow (which melted within a couple of hours) and there were snowflakes falling downtown but nothing significant.
Funnily enough overall it was a warmer than average winter, despite that storm. The next fun event is the Rugby World Cup, but I'm not much of a rugby person, I'm more looking forward to the fireworks smile

Anyway back on topic...

I've tested the DriverPacks build on another PC (a HP DC7600) and it ran but found nothing, so it looks like that DP build is broken, probably by me messing with the MassStorage DP. When I get some time I'll build them again from scratch.
Anyway, an older DP build I did with everything that was current as at 18 August 2010 only BSODs in textmode setup when trying the SATA controller in AHCI mode, and starts fine when in IDE mode. It then detects about half the hardware correctly.

I've decided to fill in the blanks manually and go with that for now as I need to get these laptops into service ASAP, which may prove challenging as out of the two I've unboxed so far, one suffers random display corruption and they both insist you "Press any key when ready"... when handing over from a PXE boot to the local HDD. It continues normally after pressing that key. But that's not your problem, I'm just ranting. I'll stop now. Sorry.

I'm back on this tomorrow, I'll get you setupapi.log then. Sorry to be so slow on this, but I'm having to juggle a bit of work at the moment, this is just one of the jobs!

Hi, sorry I do run a Linux shop on the server side and usually refer to and look up PCI IDs in that way.

Anyway, here's the output of SaveHwids as run on the factory install of Windows 7 in AHCI mode.

The HWID for the storage controller in "Compatibility" (IDE) mode is 8086:1c01. I still get the BSOD 7B in textmode setup with the stock MassStorage driverpack, regardless of IDE or AHCI mode.

The part number of this Toshiba Tecra R850 is PT525A-003019, BIOS version 2.7x (I'll look up the X in a minute and edit this post). Annoyingly, the BIOS v3.00 update on the drivers/updates list for that model, when run under Windows XP, barfs with "This computer is not supported".  It would only run under Windows 7 (including the download on that page listed under "Windows XP", which seems identical to the Win7 one anyway). The English in the update and in help descriptions in BIOS setup is pretty poor too.

Anyway, the BIOS update did not fix the problem. The unmodified DriverPack still bluescreens at the start of textmode setup, again both in AHCI and IDE modes.

I have no explanation as to why my modified MassStorge DriverPack would work in IDE mode (only) whereas neither IDE nor AHCI would work otherwise.

I'm going to keep hacking away at it, but any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

It's gonna be a long day.

Hi, I'll be able to check these tomorrow morning (NZ time). I got the BSOD regardless of whether the BIOS was set to ACHI or IDE (I think it called it "Performance" and "Compatibility" modes with AHCI and IDE mentioned in the respective descriptions for each).

I proceeded with the Windows install with the updated drivers, before I did that, I would get a BSOD regardless of whether the BIOS was set to IDE or AHCI mode, and regardless of use of a DriverPacks build or a Windows XP CD whose only modification was slipstreaming Service Pack 3.

Previous to updating the DriverPack, I also manually slipstreamed the ICH10 driver manually, when that succeeded as far as the GUI install stage, I then stopped it and decided to try to update the DriverPack and use that.

I'll look for any possible BIOS updates tomorrow too when I'm back at the school this is happening at. I'll also compare the PCI IDs as reported by the Windows XP -on-IDE install that succeeded against a second laptop which still has its shipped install of Windows 7 on it.

THanks for your pointers so far. I'll post an update tomorrow.

Hi,

Sorry for the cryptic subject line, but I wanted to include as much specific information as possible for future searches within the 70-character limit.

I had trouble with DriverPacks Mass Storage 11.08 bluescreening (STOP 0x0000007B) as text mode setup tried to start, on a Toshiba Tecra R850 laptop which uses an Intel ICH10(?) storage controller with the PCIID of 8086:1c03.

Interestingly, it would bluescreen just the same if the controller was set to "Compatibility" (meaning IDE) mode in the BIOS.

I eventually got PART WAY around this fault by manually replacing the Intel ICH9/10 drivers in the Mass Storage DriverPack with an updated copy downloaded from here:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_ … p;lang=eng

In my case I went for the 32-bit (x86) build, being for Windows XP.

I did this by replacing the files as found inside DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1108.7z\D\M\I9 with those from the above download, including copying the newer iastor.sys over iastor9.sys.

Install then proceeded into textmode, through GUI setup, but when it tries to boot after GUI mode setup, BSOD again. Ugh!

It will install and boot with the above workaround in place AND with SATA in Compatibility (IDE) mode - must do both.

What could I have missed?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew
