Ibm Hs21 8853 Bios Update
Hi I have updated the BIOS on an HS21 (8853) blade from 1.05 to 1.06 (Critical) and BMC to 1.10 - running Windows 2003 SP2. After the update, Windows reports a new unknown device 'Base System Device'. Looking at the change history for the BIOS update, it enables DMA in the Intel Chipset and I believe that is what this new device is, what I can't find is any drivers for it. I have installed the Intel Chipset Drivers 8.1.1.0 and that doesn't appear to include DMA drivers - any ideas?
Thanks for your time.
