Topic: SIS 180/181 SATA driver not loaded loaded correctly in the text mode

Hi, I tried the all December 2007 drivers with windows xp sp2 with xable November 2007 updates on an Acer Aspire Desktop. But I am unable to detect the SATA hard drive during the text mode of setup. While Mass storage pack released in July 2007 worked with Windows sever 2003 integrated SP2. Unfortunately I have deleted the old driver’s inorder to save my harddrive space now I don’t have a way to get old drivers. Possibly there could be another driver is conflicting with this driver or less likely windows update is causing problems. I shall be thankful if windows XP could load the SIS 180/181 driver during the text mode of windows xp. Thanks in advance.

Re: SIS 180/181 SATA driver not loaded loaded correctly in the text mode

I have the exact same problem.

Someone else had a problem upon a time, (searched) but it was claimed fixed. 

Using MassStorage 7.12, the initial part of the setup runs and eventually tells me it cannot find any disks.  I have the SiS 180 controller.  It definitely seems to be parsing a lot more drivers for storage than it normally does, but it does not seem to load mine (which I see in the supported devices list).

Any help would be great! smile

Re: SIS 180/181 SATA driver not loaded loaded correctly in the text mode

hi
I have downloaded a couple new sets of originals, and will not ever put version 2110 in the packs again.
I don't care if 2110 is the newest, it is also the worst, because it claims it can support all the devices in one driver and it cannot.

The sets with 1039.1070 (and 1050) at least have the decency to use exact duplicate binaries (sys/DLL) with a different INF for the different models... and a different CAT for server OS.
Now, because there is no way we can have unedited 1050 and 1070 in at same time,  I will have to make a choice. I also do not want to maintain miniPacks.

I knew we would see reports if the choice made in Mass 712 was not the best choice.
This SiS driver is a classic example of using same HWIDs for upgraded chips.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: SIS 180/181 SATA driver not loaded loaded correctly in the text mode

Is there a place I can get a slightly older MassStorage pack with an older driver?  I saw in the changelog that it'd been changed a couple times, and I tried looking, but I couldn't find one. 

Thanks smile

Re: SIS 180/181 SATA driver not loaded loaded correctly in the text mode

Hi Seron,
this new testpack has SiS driver version 1039.1070 (which is not the newest, and not the oldest.

the newest claimed it would work but did not, and the older packs had a mix of 1050 and 1070 because we apparently never found the WHQL driver for both.
I found one such, and decided to stick to 1070 for the 180/181/182 /1181 devices.
(Because I did not have to edit files...)
--------

I also worked on SiLicon nightmare 3112

I hope that the work I just did will fix the situation.
I ran a few preliminary tests on the testpack before I uploaded.

notes;
During the testing of what became 712, we decided to NOT tag HWIDs with &CC_0104 for the RAID drivers.
Well, this morning I started by using spotlight on the 3112 drivers we had, and could see some HWIDs which most definitely required the tag. The raid and base mode driver should no longer conflict on these three.
(Yep, I found only three, but you would be so unlucky to have that HWID loading the wrong mode for your machine.. This one could explain instant BSOD.)
The three dupes for base mode will get tagged &CC_0101 so that base mode would not load when it is set to RAID mode.

I also worked on SiS for those with that 180/181/182 HWID.
I found original WHQL drivers. The original sytem binaries already had unique names.
Funny thing is this, the system binaries and INF files for 2000/2003/XP would be same, but the CATalog files were different.
Had they used unique names for the catalog files, I could have used them CATs.
The SiS driver for 180/181/182 will be in one folder.
The SiS driver for 184/185 could not be put in that folder.

Intel ICH7/ICH9 update wasl finallyincluded, and I got to do a few Adaptec drivers as well.
One of the LSI SAS driver required a fix as well.

Wow.  I certainly owe you a major thank you. smile  I'm really amazed at the stuff you guys do here.  I'll make sure and go make a small donation. smile

Re: SIS 180/181 SATA driver not loaded loaded correctly in the text mode

Hi, please let us know if it solved the issue for you.

I thought it had SiS 1182 too, but it doesn't.
aargh, this means I will have to edit that version 2110 and include it in a new nightly.. 8-)

ms_1_tag="sisraid"

This means I will eat my words about V2110. wink
