CAUSE

This problem is caused by the following errors that occur during the installation of Windows Server 2003 SP1:
  • The Windows Server 2003 SP1 Storport driver (Storport.sys) does not correctly register itself as a System event producer with the System event log.
  • Windows Server 2003 SP1 does not install the latest version of the IoLogMsg.dll file. This problem occurs because the IoLogMsg.dll file is not listed in the Spfiles.txt file. Because of this error, the following new Storport error log IDs are not resolved:

    REQUEST TIMEOUT => IO_WARNING_RESET
    HIERARCHICAL RESET => IO_WARNING_BUS_RESET
