Abit SA6R, BIOS upgrade, need driver

After upgrading to the latest BIOS on this board, during first boot, Win98SE detects new hardware. PCI System Management Bus. It's looking for a driver, but I don't know what.

The machine will boot up if I cancel out and no yellow exclamations in DM. Redetects on each subsequent boot. No info at the Abit site I can find.
 
Let it try to find one itself, it that doesnt work (usually doesnt) install the latest via 4in1's if its a via chipset (if it's a via chipset of course). Otherwise, if you have a disk/cd that came w/ your motherboard try to hav eit auto search in there. If none of these solutions work, you can always do trial and error w/ asus drivers available online. =P
 
It's an Intel 815E board. No 4 in 1's. They're not on the disk that came with the board or on the Win98 disk. Not at the ABIT site either.

The BIOS revision I want to flash with is dated a year later than the one that was running. Need a newer driver.

I'll be more specific. Which driver would include one for the PCI System Management Bus?

Thanks anyway.
 
Oops, you said Abit not Asus. =P

The PCI Management Bus could be a multiple number of things so its nearly impossible to just pick one. I know that happens to me a couple times but once I install updated mobo drivers from the VIA 4in1's it finds a match. But since you have an intel chipset, I suggest looking for intel chipset drives from the intel page. Install that stuff, and it should solve your problem.
