A recently upgraded 2000 server (from NT) memory dumps whenever shutdown, due to a driver failure. Debugging the dump gives the following:

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
A driver is causing an inconsistent power state.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000002, The device object completed the irp for the system power state request, but failed to call PoStartNextPowerIrp
Arg2: 816f6b40, Optional Target
Arg3: 8183a370, DeviceObject
Arg4: 00000000, DriverObject

!devobj on 8183a370 gives:

Device object (8183a370) is for:
PciIde0Channel1-1 \Driver\IntelIde DriverObject 8183ae50
Current Irp 00000000 RefCount 0 Type 00000004 Flags 00001040
DevExt 8183a428 DevObjExt 8183a4e0 DevNode 8183a188
ExtensionFlags (0000000000)
AttachedDevice (Upper) 81825030 \Driver\atapi
Device queue is not busy.

When I check the drivers for the IDE device, Windows 2000 insists they are the latest up-to-date drivers.

Has anyone got any suggestions short of a re-install?
 
Two recommendations:
1) check out Microsoft's windowsupdate.microsoft.com website. I've used it several times 'cuz Microsoft is always putting out new updates.
2) Microsoft has a downloadable update checker called hfnetchk.exe. We used it at school to check for updates in my Win2k server class.
