I have googled extensively for this and have not found a workable solution:
I just bought a new Mac Mini (2011 5,2), and tried to do the auto bootcamp download from within OS X. After 5 crashed attempts, and learning that many other people are having the same problem with Lion, I manually installed bootcamp from the software that was downloaded and then discarded by OS X (appeared to be a complete Bootcamp). Everything worked great, Win7x64 installed fine, all the drivers were found in the bootcamp files, and everything on Win7x64 works great on the Mac Mini ...
With the exception of the SM Bus Controller; it shows up as 'driver not found' in Windows. Because OS X Lion has no 'software', I cannot seem to search there for a driver as in past OS X's. From googling, it seems this is quite the troublesome driver to locate and fix, so any help or proven suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
