OS4 kernel and associated files

(1/4) > >>

ivan:
I don't know if this is the correct place but here goes.

One of my guys at work today asked how the OS4 kernel project was getting on ans since I didn't know I downloaded the latest (os2krnlSVN4363_unoff.zip) to have a look see.

Unzipping produces frustration. 
The read me is from 2008 but since the install shouldn't have changed that is OK.
Whatnew is several versions old and has the last couple of entries in Russian.

OS4APIC.PSD does have reasonable documentation.

Clock03b.sys, doscall1.dll and screen03.sys are just there with no information about them at all.  Looking in doscall1, it appears to be a special build for the SMP version of OS4.

It would help if those doing this work would give some indication of what these three are for and what we can expect from using them.  I assume the doscall1.dll is a direct replacement - if so how do you get back to using the IBM version or does it work with the IBM SMP kernel?  Are the two sys files replacements or do they work in conjunction with the IBM versions?

I could try replacing everything on a test machine, and most probably will if the night shift becomes too boring, but it would be helpful if there was some indication of what did what and what should happen.

If anyone can throw any light on this I will be very thankful.

Unfortunately I always get this error with almost all the latest releases:

DHRouter error, dh IM$

Any suggestion?

show you config.sys and comport log

I do not have a comport.log to submit for now (no null-modem cable).
I might try a drive a time, the most likely?
