Recently purchased a FIC motherboard and when booting up in win98 it keeps asking me to install drivers for PCI System Management Bus. Please help me solve this problem. Thanks!!!

Got a FIC board and had the same problem. My SD11 was being a bit of a pain in the butt. I flashed the new (ami v.610) bios, no good. I went to www.fic.com.tw and found the utilities page and installed all the applicable ones (was also having AGP problems which looks like it was due to a crummy AGP board actually). Still no good.
Finally, I went to the via site (www.via.com.tw) and downloaded their 4in1. Suddenly, no problems.
You will want a program like gozillia or something to download - mine broke connection about 12 times, and took around 4 hours to download (and once where it quit and said it was done, even though it was only 50%). Gozilla though finds the alternate sizes and downloaded it in around 30 seconds.

I have a ASUS CUSL2 Motherboard with the 815e chipset. I was also having the can't find the drivers for the PCI Management System Bus problem. I am running win98 first edition. I was able to find what I needed on the Intel website. I downloaded the 'Intel Chipset Software installation Utility' and installed it. It worked!
Hope this helps!!!

I found the soloution for the PCI System Management Bus!!! It's a bit tricky:
- During the boot into Win98, an "Unknown Device" and a PCI System Management Bus Driver are requested to be installed.
- Select next, next, next and mark all boxes, when it ist asked, where to search for the driver. Finish this.
- Now the Unknown Device and the PCI Management Bus driver are shown in the Device Manager
- VERY IMPORTANT: DONT'T DELETE THESE DEVICES!
- Reinstall the Intel chipset software installation utility:

- Reboot system after update an the system should then work correct!

Intel's New driver should be installed.
here how i solve it.
My MotherBoard: Shuttle AE23(815E/801BA), Op System: W98SE.
Had same problema ("Unknown: PCI System Management. Bus", "PCI Unkown Device", etc).
First installed Intel v2.50.002 (came with the product), which couldn't identify even the Firmware Hub(82802).
Downloaded the v2.80.010a drivers from Intel (http://developer.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/inf.htm).
loaded it, and it fixed those problems, it found "Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM SMBus Controller - 2443" and "Intel 82802 Firmware Hub Device".

The big key here is LET WINDOWS INSTALL THE UNKNOWN DEVICES THEN RUN THE UPDATE. I was canceling the install as I would with most unknowns. Leave them in as unknown, run the inf update then restart. Took me hours to figure this out.

I have the same problem concerning "PCI system management bus" on my new Sony VAIO PCV-RX380DS, when I am installing Windows 98 instead of the preinstaled windows ME (this is necessary to upgrade to Windows 2000).
I downloaded the Intel chipset software installation utility (file name: intelinf), but do not know what to do with this file (it is not an "exe" file).
After hours of different trials I thank everybody for any helpful advise.

In your disk full of drivers, I would find the section that contains the drivers for your sound first and within that tree there should be a file containing the driver that you need for your PCI Management System BUS. As a fail safe, please go to AMI.com site and download a universal flash utility and without changing anything to your BIOS, find out exactly what your system board is by running the program. Within that section of your driver installation disk there should contain a driver just for this PCI System Management BUS via, CONTROL PANEL, ADD NEW HARDWARE (do this anyway) -- you may either choose by highlighting this PCI thing or it may prompt you for it, INSTALL OR UPDATE DRIVER, while searching at a couple of clicks on the folder containing your motherboard system drivers, an *.inf suffix appears, click it to see whether the system recognizes it, when it does and accepts it, it becomes the CONTROLLER that you wanted from the driver.
Restart your computer.
I hope this helps.
