The DVD drive recognized by a HW info tools says:
Drive Model "HP CDDVDW TS-L633M"
Drive Revision "0301"


I'm thinking more about the SATA controller, since you can't turn the compatibility mode on the BIOS. Possible that's why it don't recognize the DVD.

That is indeed a possibility. I had a similar issue with my old Compaq Laptop (EIDE CD-ROM though) and DANIS. It would only work with the version of DANIS from 1.2mr until I discovered that if I took the /BIOS switch off the DANIS in the [boot with own configuration] menu it would boot properly.

TS-L633M is actually looking to be a Samsung drive, firmware are here:

Perhaps with a more recent firmware it will behave better?

Since this is a laptop, was the DVD driver not delivered with the laptop ? Setting the BIOS to compability or mode or not will not matter. What I meant in my previous postings is that when you get this error message no DANIS506.add is even loaded or OS/2 is not even active what so ever. From what I'm reading I get the impression you think OS/2 is active.

This OS2CSM stuff was done by Veit Kannegeiser and its a kind of mini OS that reads the kernel etc from the diskette images on CD. This is unpacked to RAM disk in memory.  But when this error message occurs nothing of OS/2 is loaded.

Saijin_Naib I did see you mention the DANIS506.ADD driver. Its none related in this case since OS/2 is not loaded.

That the CD Martin also worked inside a Virtual Machine is not a warranty it works the same as booted on real hardware. Since under an OS loaded and then a VM accesing the CD it will do this in a different fashion then when booting via the BIOS.

Hi Roderick

The DVD drive is the one that came with the laptop. I haven't change the drive.

I will try to burn the image again on a diferent CD brand and burn it at the lowest speed posible (4x) to see the results.

No, it didn't work.

I'm starting to think that eCS can not be installed on machines that do not have SATA compatibility mode.

Here it is the bug number posted on the Bugtracker.
http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=2712

If it is not possible to install eCS on machines that do not have SATA compatibility mode will be quite sad, since SATA is the present and we will be limited to choose machines with that feature only.  I just hoping I'm wrong with this, and a solution appear for this problem I'm having.
