Searching Google Groups first can find many of the known issues for you:

Here is the answer though:

This is a bug where drvmain.sdb is not owned by any component, it should be
owned by the App Compat Core component and the file should be copied to
%systemroot%\AppPatch folder.
The file DRVMAN.SDB is the "bad driver database" so when a driver is loaded
PnP checks this database and if any drivers need to be blocked, they will
act accordingly.
Manually adding this file to the AppPatch subfolder resolves the error, even
though the error is harmless.
