I have just read README.TXT file for Intel chipset update utility and is seems that Intel recommends to put just the main folder containing inf files on OemPnPDriversPath.

OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS\INTELINF"

So SP subfolder where ICH7ID2 file is located should not be processed at all. Probably DriverPack automatically includes SP folder because it is simply scanning all folders containing any inf files - but in this case it is a mistake that causes the problems we had.

Interesting - might be worth following up. Ahem ... could perhaps one of the experts create a chipset pack with these modifications? I'd do it, but am lacking the skills required for that, sorry.

Should be related with this one:

(ICH7 on ASUS P2W, just RAID instead of AHCI, otherwise exactly the same symptoms)

Here's the log (from an install w. manually added Intel infs):

Actually took me a couple of days to narrow this down to the chipset drivers - was suspecting the mass storage pack all the time ... smile

Edit: BTW, this behaviour also is valid for the 6.09.1 variant.

Board: Asus P5W DH, ICH7R in SATA RAID configuration w. 3 drives as RAID0

Mass Storage pack works ok.
Adding Chipset pack causes constant reboots when the first GUI boot is attempted (Windows logo screen).
Manually adding INTEL CS pack (7.2.2.1006 via OEMDriversPath) works ok.
