PRB: Dependency Check Errors

[Tony Y]

Ran Tap.exe, imported the devices.pmq file using Component Designer.
The components below are dependencies of the macro component created by
Component Designer. I imported the .sld file into the component
database. I added the macro component to the configuration and ran
dependency checker. I got the errors listed below. How do I resolve
these error? Is there something missing in the repository?

Tony,

Are you suing SP1?
Some of the components you listed are in SP2 database only. (e.g., "Intel(R) 82801DB LPC Interface Controller - 24C0")

Other components you will have to componentize the corresponding drivers for since they are not in XPe database (neither SP1, SP2).

[Tony Y]

Yes, we're using SP1. We will not be going to SP2. Instead we're
going to WEPOS.

Tony,

IIRC, wePOS is (will be) based on SP2 so you will get those missing components.

However, you would still need to properly add the drivers that are not covered by wePOS. But this is out of this NG area.

I installed XP Pro w/ SP1 on the hardware (IBM SurePOS 741) and the OS
loaded the drivers for these 4 devices without trouble. Why is this?
Is there a difference between XPe SP1 and XP Pro SP1?

I installed XP Pro w/ SP1 on the hardware (IBM SurePOS 741) and the OS
installed the all the drivers for these 4 devices. Why is this the
case? Is there a difference between XP Pro SP1 and XPe SP1?

XP Pro loads the drivers automatically. How do I track down the .inf
file to create the custom component?

Tony,

What devices are you talking about?
Check setupapi.log it will tell you the reason why drivers do not work, and
what VID PID numbers hardare require.
If XPP found the drivers that mean that you have MS components in XPe image.

Is there a difference between XP Pro SP1 and XPe SP1?

Only in number of things that you add in XPe plus some missing registry
keys.

XP Pro loads the drivers automatically. How do I track down the .inf
file to create the custom component?

In XPP go to device manager and from there you can see what binaries belong
to this particular hardware. Then you can search trough inf files to find
inf file that reference sys files that you read in device manager.

Slobodan

Well.. There were a number of bugs in SP1 so you might have hit one of them.
I don't have XP Pro SP1 around right now so I cannot check but since you said so it must be the fact that some of the components you
listed were missed in SP1 database.
The easier way to have them supported on SP1 would be copying appropriate INF and binaries file to your own component that you add
to SP1 database (or import the INFs).
There is a number of way to find out all the required files (e.g., on XP Pro with Device Manager and search in \window\inf dir) but
also you can just explore the corresponding component in SP2 database.

I'm talking about the following four system devices:
"Intel(R) 82801DB PCI Bridge - 244E [Version 4.00.1001, R1]"
"Intel(R) 82801DB LPC Interface Controller - 24C0 [Version 4.00.1001,
R1]"
"Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM SMBus Controller - 24C3 [Version 4.00.1001, R1]"
"Intel(R) 82801DB Ultra ATA Storage Controller - 24CB [Version
4.00.1001, R1]"
