Win 8.1 Update 1 --> LSI Driver = Code 10

Question

Prior to the Update 1 for Win 8.1 there is was no issue with the "LSI Adatper, SAS2 2008 Falcon" driver.  The device is a IBM M1015 cross flashed using the "IT Firmware" as LSI 9211-8i.  Post the update the drive "Code 10"'s.  You can Disable / Enable the driver in Windows Device Manager and it is then fine but on the next reboot it will "Code 10" again.  

I've tried:

• Updated the MB BIOS to the latest version
• Updated the card to the latest LSI IT FW/BIOS & Driver
• Uninstalled / Reinstalled in Safe mode
• ...even purchased a new PSU incase it was flaky 

If I rollback to prior to Update 1 then it is fine.

If I reboot the PC it will Code 10, but many times it will load correctly if I do a Cold boot (power down, power up).

Thanks

Nathan

I'm away for a few days so can not test if this post fixes it http://www.avsforum.com/t/1438027/mfusicks-how-to-build-an-affordable-30tb-flexraid-media-server-information-requested/3330

Answer 2

Anannya,

I have exact same issue. M1015 was working until KB2919355 is installed. I am, too, getting code 10 error. M1015 starts working as soon as the update was uninstalled. It is not the device that is causing the problem, KB2919355 is. Your response is not being helpful at all.

Answer 3

Hi,

 Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:

• Device Manager can't start the device.
• One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.
• Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.

Note In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.

You can either try installing the native drivers in compatibility mode or you can contact the hardware device vendor's technical support for further assistance.

I tried it but it had the same result. The device is happy when the driver gets installed but as soon as you reboot you have the same code 10 error.

Answer 5

Hi,

Uninstall the driver with "Delete driver" option, restart and then install the latest driver.

I have also tried the same things as jmone1 with no luck.

The problem still exists.
