I got that on my XPS 420 on first try of W7 x64. I went to Intel website and downloaded what looks like more or less an All-in-One chipset driver package and installed and that Device Manager error went away.

Driver Download Location

I also have the XPS420 (intel chipset) and had the same error. I got the driver package and it took a couple of installs and reboots for it to stick. As a convenience, you can download that package here:

http://uswave.net/windows7/intel-smbus-drivers.zip

Just extract the files into the folder of your choice, then goto the device manager and update the driver. You have to tell it to manually locate the driver, just put in the drive/folder name where you unzipped the file. Like I mentioned, it took a couple of installs/reboots for the driver to "stick" to the smbus.

I hope this helps (tip my scales :) )

Not exactly sure if the sm bus controller also relates to why both of my optical drives are not working since changing to W7 64ultimate from vista 64-ultimate.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Well I loaded the windows update which worked at getting the optical drives to work.

Though seems as if it is some sort of intermittant issue as they now do not work again.

I have had no additional problems since uninstallng the vista side gadget open & close door to the optical drives which was the cause of the intermittant issue.
