On Jan. 12, 2001 IBM OS/2 Fix Distribution released updated kernels. They contain fixes since xr_e002/xr_m015/mcp/acp:

File versions :

WSeb/ACP SMP (D is debug version)

SMP0111.ZIP
SMP0111D.ZIP

WSeB/ACP Uni/MCP (D is debug version)

UNI0111.ZIP
UNI0111D.ZIP

Warp4 (D is debug version)

W40111.ZIP
W40111D.ZIP

New function:

1.Support for >64m memory using int15 func e820. Note, this support is enabled ONLY for Intel Pentium Pro or later, or non-Intel Pentium-class machines. This
is done in an effort to prevent problems on older PCs.
2.The presence of os2ootos2norev.$$$ suppresses the display of internal revision during boot.

Bug Fixes:

JR13335: Some VDMs won't run, complaining of too-long command lines
JR15194: XCOPY fails with SYS1186 or SYS1192 on (at least) MO drives
JR15038: Trap 8 in h_DeviceHelpDM running an app from a tcpbeui drive
JR15229: Files left open after ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES returned to app
PJ27676: Causes hangs on some systems running UNI or W4 kernels
PJ27554: Hang or (on allstrict) trap 3 on SMP (only) during beeps
PJ27678: SMP kernels could not be RIPL-booted. As part of this, there is a new config.sys parameter I13PAGES= available. Adding I13PAGES=1 to config.sys (note,
no SET) reduces the memory usage of the mini VDM processes used by ibm1s506.add and the GRADD drivers.
This becomes important in RIPL-boot situations.

PJ27677: SMP systems hang with multiple threads of same process entering a critical section (affects ADSM client)

See README in the zip for Install Instructions.

Disclaimer: These interim fixes will be supported by IBM until the next fixpack is available or until superceded by a newer interim fix. At the discretion of IBM, you may be required to revert to GA (i.e.
MCP/ACP/fixpack) code to pursue specific support issues.
