Help 1721.3/RC1 installation

[Crekker]

I have a yellow excalamation next to Intel 82371FB PCI to ISA Bridge
under device manager under system devices..

When I look under Intel 82371FB PCI to ISA Bridge/Properties/General
it says:

"Windows could not load the driver for this device because the
computer is reporting two ISAPNP.VXD bus types (CODE 2). Contact your
computer manufacture to get an updated BIOS for your computer."

1.Does anyone know what the significance of not having the PCI to ISA
bridge not working?

2.Is there a work around without getting a BIOS upgrade?

3.I have tried reinstalling 1721.3/RC1 but this didn't change things.
As there is likely to be excess baggage in my registry after multiple
build installs, would a clean install of RC1 fix up the problem?

4. My BIOS seems to support power management (APM) but win98 doesn't
give me the suspend option when shutting down (like it use to until I
deleted power management because it caused problems in an earlier
build). I have looked under contol panel/power management/advanced but
there is no enable feature. How to I get the suspend feature enabled?

Krakan this sounds like one for you with your experience of
installations in various hardware setups?

Thanks

I have had this problem on my TYAN 1563S motherboard (ami bios 4.01) since I updated the bios (for mmx support). Tyan told me not to worry about it. RC0 had a hard time installing (over 1650). I believe this was the reason. It DID install however.

I've been running 98 since 1650. No problems related to this.

Not that I have found. I removed the driver but windows tries to reinstall at the next boot and I get the same problem.

I don't think so.
