SYMPTOMS

After you apply the Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) and restart your computer, you may receive the following error message on a blue screen:
STOP 0x000000D1 (0x00000114, 0x00000010, 0x00000000, 0xBFF754CC)

CAUSE

This issue can occur if your computer is using a Promise Ultra100 PCI Controller Card that is using a device driver version (Ultra.sys) earlier than 2.00.0.29.

RESOLUTION

To prevent this issue from occurring, install the updated Ultra.sys driver before you install SP3.

To resolve this issue if you have already applied SP3, follow these steps:
  1. Obtain the updated version of the device driver (Ultra.sys). To do this, visit the following Promise Web site:

    http://www.promise.com/support/download/download_eng.asp

  2. Do one of the following:
    • If the partition uses the NTFS file system, use your Windows 2000 CD to start at the recovery console.

      -or-
    • If the partition uses the FAT file system, start the computer by using an MS-DOS boot disk.

  3. Copy the Ultra.sys file (from the Promise Web site) to the Windows 2000 Drivers folder (%Systemroot%\System32\Drivers), overwriting the existing version.
  4. Restart the computer.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, if you cannot obtain the updated Ultra.sys driver that is described earlier in this article, you can replace the existing Scsiport.sys file with the version from Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2). To do this, follow these steps.

NOTE: If you use this workaround, several fixes that are included with Windows 2000 SP3 are disabled. Use this method only as a temporary workaround, and then permanently resolve this issue by installing the updated version of the device driver (Ultra.sys) from the Promise Web site.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • If the partition uses the NTFS file system, use your Windows 2000 CD to start at the recovery console.

      -or-
    • If the partition uses the FAT file system, start the computer by using an MS-DOS boot disk.
