How to kill phantom PCI card?

Win2K keeps on finding new hardware when I start/restart my machine. I have no clue what it's looking for. In Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to: Other devices >PCI device The only cards in my machine are video (which is AGP anyway), & my Adaptec 39160 SCSI adapter.

The only cards in my machine are video (which is AGP anyway), & my Adaptec 39160 SCSI adapter. I did not use the native 2K drivers for the 39160 (if there is any), but the Adaptec drivers on floppy instead.
 
I plugged in my NIC & it gets detected and shown in Device Manager as well, but the damn "Found New Hardware" wizard & "Unknown device" thingy still persists.
 
Other than disabling this phantom device, how else can I stop this?

I forgot to load the 815 chipset drivers. Silly me.
