You might have to scroll down to the end, but I hope it is worth this.

As it was a success again, we (Thomas Müller and me) will organize a fouth edition in November 2016 again  :)

More to come on this next week.

Cheers

Which video driver is it? Do you use any non default video settings (I remember that using some of them caused different things to happen with PMMail, and some didn't make any sense, but I don't remember the details).

I do use latest Panorama Vesa from Arca Noae (1.07 I guess), SNAP is not working with the Sony Vaio Pro 13. Do not invest to much time into this, I do have the Temperature shown with the XCenter widget, that is right OK for me  :)

Thanks!

Setup & Installation / Re: OS/4 Kernel and QSINIT - some more Questions
« on: November 18, 2015, 10:26:23 pm »

I.e. "call" option can help on FAT boot only (from FAT partition or emulated disk - pae or veit`s memdisk). Even if I can implement HPFS read in future, I am just avoid writing to such complex file systems at boot time.

p.s. hmm, can't even remember when created this second login ;)

Thanks for the clarification - I deleted the call things from OS2LDR.INI and changed that I "only" use 14.106SMP or OS4 kernel so that I do nat have to change files (at least I try it this way), doscall1 etc. are all taken from the 14106SMP Part.

While 14106SMP is booting fine, as before, OS/4 does start now - but stopps when it comes to start the PMSHELL.EXE and crashes (no CTRl+ALT+DEL) - so almost at the end of the boot process. Will look into this later.

OS/4 kernel while starting complains (with or wihtout acpi4.sys support) to not having acpi4.bpd (a file I do not have), but seems to ignore it later..

Well, have to look more into it... ::) :)

Thanks so far!

I am Using:

QSINIT Loader Version 360, dated 2015-10-10

but the picture shows that you are using Version 327, which is somewhat older. Perhaps check everything to be sure that it is all the same version.

Yes, sorry, I seem to confuse sometime the files that I use to build my DVD and the ones installed on the Sony  :-\

that is what it looks like if I do like you suggested.
No! :) On screenshot - dir a\*.cmd instead of a:\*.cmd, ":" missed ;)

Pattern match code seems a bit incorrect, but it shows all cmds in the current dir then, not in a:\

Sorry again, I am getting old, I guess....

So, changed everything, results are in the pictures - seem to be even worse. I included a picture of the HDD Layout as it is seen by QSINIT.

Is RDMSR.SYS loaded in config.sys?

Hi Pete,

thanks, but the driver is already loaded. The temperature is displayed OK in the XCenter (please see at one of my pictures above).
I do have no "Path to ACPI Thermal Zone Pathname" as well, may Doug has one?

Thanks again!

FWIW, I don't even see that display in Sysload on my Asus A88MX-A (AMD A6 processor)
It looks like there is something more basic at work. I changed my ThinkPad T510 to use hyperthreading, so it thinks there are 4 CPUs (it works well enough to get some pictures). By changing the area where the information is displayed, I get what is in 1x4.jpg, 2x2.jpg, and 4x1.jpg. As you can see the display appears to be correct. I use Panorama at 1600x900, which is the default screen resolution. If anything, 1920x1080 should be better, on a 1920x1080 screen, but I suppose there may be an error in calculating the box size with the larger resolution. I can't change to 1920x1080, but you may be able to change to 1600x900 to test that.

Hi Doug,

sorry, no, does not make a difference here.

Thanks!

Hi Walking_X,

that is what it looks like if I do like you suggested.

So ist seems not to be there. May I placed the setup.cmd in the wrong place (here it resides on root of drive c:) ?

Thanks!

unable to open batchfile "A:\setupos4.cmd"

I am not clear about exactly how you have this set up, but "drive A:" only works for FAT boot drives (or possibly FAT32, which probably won't work with OS/2). In my test system, my boot drive is JFS. If I drop to a QSINIT command line at boot, there is no A: drive. It says "Device not mounted". If it is a FAT drive, you need to mount it before you can use it (that may be done automatically for a FAT drive). Trying to mount a JFS drive appears to work, but it says it is not mounted if I try to use it. I expect that trying a HPFS drive would do the same.

Hi Doug,

thanks for this, what makes me wonder is that this worked before, QSINIT automatically grabbs Drive letter a: (see above posts) I still can not figure out what I might have changed. Everything else with QSINIT is working fine, i.e. booting the 14.106SMP Kernel works without issues. May be the "call" order is somehow broken with newer QSINIT. I hope to get some response or hint from the developer.

I am still experimenting with this and do have a problem now, hope to geht help and advice - thanks in advance!

I am Using:

QSINIT Loader Version 360, dated 2015-10-10
OS/4 Kernel Version 4473

This is what the OS2LDR.INI contains for OS/4 (i.e.):

os4krnl=OS/4 Kernel 4473 mit OS/4 ACPI, cfgext=o4a, call=A:\setupos4.cmd

This is what setupos4.cmd looks like:

copy /q A:\DOSCOS41.DLL A:\DOSCALL1.DLL
copy /q A:\harderr.smp A:\harderr.exe
copy /q A:\sesdd32.smp A:\sesdd32.sys


(All files are in place)

When I start and select this then I get the errormessage:

unable to open batchfile "A:\setupos4.cmd"

What do I miss?

It looks like there is part of a "T" on the right side of the blocks (meaning that the temperature is outside of the small windows). Can you stretch the main window, and make it show? Perhaps a smaller system font would help.



Hi Doug,

thanks for your suggestions, but no difference. I already strechted the window to fullscreen before. I changed the Fonts as you adviced, even with the size "6" there is no difference. And yes, there is the "T" right beginning at the right side of the windows, so I guess there seems to be the third scale for the temperature. I changed program settings as well, but none with success.

Thanks,

Sigurd

Applications / Systemload and CPUTEMP - Question
« on: November 15, 2015, 03:23:55 pm »
Mentioned in another thread I tried to use the Programs CPUTEMP and Systemload. Both are working quite well  :)

But I do have one question:

Please take a look at Picture CPUTEMP1: the Program Sysload does not show the Temperature in the program, may the desktop Resolution (1920X1080 FullHD) be to high?

Thanks for hints - and for programming this!

I would like to suggest the name (in case it is not protected by others, O did find some hotels using it, but.....):

Blue Marlin 

(not Merlin, but a Reminiscence to it  :)  )

Would make a good Logo/Pet as well  ;)

Lion seems to be occupied by Apple and sounds like emulating it.

Applications / IBM Server Guide Pictures for Martin

Hi Martin,

here some pictures for your gallery from a software I once used in 1998 and did just purchase a this shrink warpped version today.

As you can see here

https://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.os2.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D2%26t%3D744&edit-text=

I started with modifying the UPDCD Program. Help is as allways welcome, but please answer there at os2.org as this keeps things together at one place.
You can answer there in english as well  ;)

360
Thanks for the replies so far!

I would like to state some things more precisely:

The basis of my project will be to update UPDCD to include all the things I have done before. Therefore I contacted Zsolt Kaddar some time ago, but unfortunately he does not have an active OS/2 System anymore. But I will contact him again with some suggestions. Unfortunately as well I do not have programming skills at all, and so as well not with Rexx, that is needed to change/add things in UPDCD.

Besides of ACPI I do know already wich way I have to choose to reach my goal with UPDCD in the "manual" way, that I use in practise till now.

Once I will reach the point that UPDCD is capable of doing the things I want it to do and have the permission of Zsolt Kaddar, I would like to publish this "new" UPDCD version. So that those familiar with this program can do everything they want on their own.

For those not able to use UPDCD I would like to offer the possibility to get an already updated DVD, by following this way:

- proof that there is a valid MCP license
- proof that there is a valid Arca Noae agreement

I want to stress again:

- this DVD does not include parts of ecomstation nor ecosoft (ecomstation.ru, i.e. no ecoruntime etc.)
- UPDCD will not be capable of updating eCS 2.0 , 2.1 ... (at least till someone else try this)

For this there is no need for a name, as it is just an updated MCP 4.52  :)

And Yes, something will actually come  :) I would like to show it at the User Meeting in Köln end of November.
