Toshiba Satellite A215-S7411
AMD 64 Athlon X2
WinXP32

I wiped out Vista and went back to XP. I have almost everything straightened out except for two things listed in the device manager. "SM bus controller" and 3 listings of "Base system device" all with question marks and exclamation points. I did a search for the bus controller but ened up running in circles. Has anyone got a solution for this? Thanks.

Welcome to DH

Have need to install your chipset drivers (motherboard) and the drivers for the card reader. Because that laptop shipped with Vista, you might not have luck finding the appropriate drivers at the manufactures website.

Check these out Drop.io A215_S7428Drivers

They are for a similar model, and may work. Other than that, I suggest you google the heck out of it and see if there are drivers available.

Here is something that another DH member has put together. Check out the second page for a link to download SM bus controller. This might work for you.

The drivers ukmex (Vikingods link) provided fixed the sm bus and the base system device probs which were some ricoh memory stick things. I have a different model than you, but maybe check the specs and if they're similar it may work for ya.

Peace
