Hi all,
I have installed the serial driver on win 8.1 OS and run the WHCK test,all
the test cases were passed except this test case “DevFundinf test”
DevFundInf ::RestrictctedHardwareID test was failed with message
Running test on driver INF C:\Windows\Inf\oem1.inf Error as shown below:
“DriverPackage C:\Windows\Inf\oem1.inf has a Hardware Id or a Compatible Id
that begins with *pnp”
Could any one please help on how to get out from this issue.
Loaded the serial driver for pnp0501 device.
Regards,
Prabhakar V

The error is correct. You cannot get a WHQL signature for a driver that
matches a *PNP hardware ID. Only Microsoft drivers are allowed to do
that. You will have to match your specific device. Is it a PCI adapter?

How is it connected to the computer?
ACPI\PNP0501 is reported for every serial port known as COM1. If your driver were present, it would not only load for your device, but for every 16550-compatible serial port.
I think you will have to change the DSDT in your BIOS to use a different ACPI identifier – one that doesn’t use the generic PNPxxxx name.
