************************************************************
* 3D. SOFTWARE SIGHTINGS AND/OR ERRATA FOR THIS RELEASE
************************************************************
Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021b Information:
1. During setup, some localized versions of the software may
display a welcome screen with incomplete text. This
has seen when installing the German and Japanese versions
of the software.
2. When installing this software on an ICH2-based platform
running Windows Millennium operating system, an automatic
reboot will occur immediately after Windows re-enumeration
has completed for the updated chipset devices. This
behavior is normal and necessary for Windows Millennium
to correctly update the IDE channels.
3. This software will install the ICHxSMB.INF file on
systems running Windows 98 Second Edition, even though
the SMBus device is natively supported by the OS.
This is done to allow the easy update of any future SMBus
driver.
4. During the Windows setup stage, the USB keyboard
and mouse may not be accessible. This is because
the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows
enters the GUI mode. There is a small window
of time when it may not be possible for the system
to accept user input. Since the Chipset Softwre
Installation Utility may cause prompts during the
Windows setup stage, it should be ensured that the
system BIOS support for legacy USB keyboard and mouse
is enabled.
5. When the Chipset Software Installation Utility is run
on a system with Windows 95 Original Release, the Device
Manager may report a memory resource conflict. This
conflict involves the resources allocated to PCI cards
that are located behind a PCI bridge. The operating
system incorrectly reports a memory conflict even though
the memory resources in question are fully contained
within the PCI bridge aperture. This appears to be a
known issue with the Windows 95 operating system.
The Chipset Software Installation Utility operation has
no effect on this issue.
6. Older revisions of the Intel(R) LANDesk Software Package
may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on
a system after the Chipset Software Installation Utility
has been executed on the system.
7. When running this software on Intel PIIX4-based chipset
platforms, an extra reboot message might appear after
the operating system has completed setup.
