Attach a copy of DOSCALL1.DLL and DOSCALL1.SYM from the install CDs and I may be able to tell you why the trap happened.  I have some ideas based on the content of more current DOSCALL1.DLL files.

Hopefully, you realize that unless you post some info on the old and new motherboard, you are pretty much on your own when it comes to solving your problem, even though folks here are doing their best to guess a solution.

Have you a business case for using OS/2? You might want to upgrade to AOS, an OEM version of OS/2. https://www.arcanoae.com where you will get support as well as the latest drivers etc.

Hi Again  :-*
My machine does not have a floppy drive but it does have a CD
I noticed that the operating system 14.086_W4 does not have the SATA driver for my new motherboard
I tried everything but could not add the Danis506 1-8-15 driver to the operating system 14.086_W4 and I searched the internet but could not find any guidance on this matter and the guidance within the driver file itself was very vague and I did not understand anything!

I installed the ArcaOS 5.0 operating system on hard disk 2 and connected the hard disk 1 with the OS/2 Warp 14.086_W4 operating system installed to it and was able to access the files on the hard disk.
I have two questions:
1 - This hard disk is for a printer that is connected to this system via the COM port. I do not have the printer software installation file that was installed on the ArcaOS 5.0 operating system
Do you think I can copy the software from hard disk 1 with OS/2 Warp 14.086_W4 to hard disk 2nd ArcaOS 5.0 And use it?
If you have any suggestions, please guide me

2 - How can I copy the Danis506 1-8-15 driver from the ArcaOS operating system that I installed on the 2nd hard disk into the OS/2 Warp 14.086_W4 operating system so that the SATA driver of my new motherboard is added to the operating system and the booting problem is solved
The operating system ArcaOS 5.0 has the Danis506 1-8-15 driver and the operating system is easy to install and work with.

I am eagerly awaiting your kindness and cooperation

For danis506, simply copy the DaniS506.ADD file to \os2\boot and change config.sys to rem out the IBM1S506.ADD and add the daniS506.ADD like
Code: [Select]
REM BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
basedev=daniS506.ADD
Perhaps look at your AOS config.sys for any extra parameters for daniS505.add. They generally aren't needed but sometimes are.
I think you can copy the printer software over and it will work depending on whether it was expected to be installed. Look at config.sys for any entries related to the printer software. Others know the printing subsystem better then I do.

Question is this a datacard 9000 system ?:

That explains the crash very well!
OS/2 is extremely sensitive to mainboard changes, especially regarding the hard disk controller, BIOS settings, and hardware compatibility.

What is the problem?
A new mainboard means a different chipset, different controllers, and different hardware resources.
The existing drivers (especially for hard disks/SATA, possibly also ACPI or USB) often no longer match.
OS/2 only "notices" this at startup and crashes with a TRAP 000e as soon as an incompatible driver is loaded or an unknown hardware access occurs.

What can you do?
1. Adjust BIOS settings
Set the hard disk mode to “IDE” or “compatibility mode” (do not use AHCI/SATA unless you have a suitable OS/2 driver installed).

Set the CD/DVD drive to the same mode, if possible.

2. Boot with minimal hardware
Remove all unnecessary PCIe/PCI cards.

Connect only one hard disk and one CD/DVD drive.

3. Update drivers
If possible, boot from an OS/2 boot diskette or installation CD (e.g., eComStation, ArcaOS) and install the appropriate drivers for: SATA/AHCI controllers (e.g., DANIS506.ADD, AHCI.ADD/Look for the driver on the installation medium)

USB (if needed)

ACPI

4. Edit CONFIG.SYS
Check the CONFIG.SYS file for lines like BASEDEV=...
Remove or comment out drivers that are no longer needed (such as old controller drivers).



good look ....

This callout here by Steven Levine is the KEY: you need to give us more information about the hardware, especially the BEFORE & AFTER.

...Hopefully, you realize that unless you post some info on the old and new motherboard, you are pretty much on your own when it comes to solving your problem, even though folks here are doing their best to guess a solution.

Was the old config uni-processor and is the new one multi-cpu? It does NOT sound like it seeing as you have only mentioned 'motherboard replacement', but that still leaves us with a LOT of guessing.

Once you tell us more about hardware the forum participants will be in a much better position to give you specific recommendations.

For example, let's say the old box was an IDE only controller...and the new one has SATA, so which version of the driver has the capability to support the new hardware? Knowing the STAT controller/chipset would go a LOOONGGGG way to getting you an answer!
