RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hi,

Can you please attach a screenshot?
Can you please right-click on it -> properties and select Details?
What is the hardware ID value, is it ACPI\QEMU0002?

Thanks,
Marcel

Hi Yan,

I tried to install the inf for "SM Bus Controller", occurred an error message:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

An error occurred during the installation of the device：
The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry. This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And after flashed the inf for "SM Bus controller" device, the device name changed to "Unknown device".

Details pls refer to the attached picture.


Best Regards~

Sameeh, are you also going to add the new driver to the packaging scripts? For upstream it should be a one-line change, see:
https://github.com/crobinso/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/commit/97b12214b2818bf51996e73a00b7faf87c646dcf

Comment 24 Peixiu Hou 2017-05-23 08:07:24 UTC 
Verified this bug with virtio-win-prewhql-138. 
On Win2008-32/64, the SM Bus driver can be installed successfully, and whql test on both guests passed.
On Win7-32/64, this SM Bus device does not show in device management currently.

Used version:
kernel-3.10.0-634.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-3.el7.x86_64
seabios-1.10.2-2.el7.x86_64
