Programming / GCC "phase error detected at end of assembly"
« on: November 07, 2015, 11:47:30 pm »
Could somebody please explain what this GCC error is trying to tell me.
/src/Vbox/VMM/VMMSwitcher/32BitTo32Bit.asm error: phase error detected at end of assembly
 thanks,  klipp

Hi Dave, You were right once more! It was the AHCI Driver. I got rid of it in the phase1 config.sys and the accompanying .add file in phase2 config.sys and the hard drive works fine now! Now that I think about it ACHI Driver was one of the original bugs when BetaII was released a couple of years ago.
   Thanks for bailing me out.

Hey Doug, I plugged the disk into the Lenovo and it worked just as you described. There is apparently something screwed up in my ASUS M4A88TD as it NEVER displays the screen saying "No installable volumes were found on you're system. The volume manager will now start" it goes to “Failed to inialize Logical Volume Management- LVM.EXE –etc”. instead. It never starts the Logical Volume Manager!
I don't see how this can be anything screwed up in either the Hard Drive or the eCS install CD !
Any ideas? I'm going "Brain Dead" over this!

Thanks, klipp

Doug, The eCS installer never Fixes the "no partition" problem, I can only quit the attempted install. Supposedly eCS will install a basic partition, but it never does! This is what is causing the problem and I can't seem to figure out how to get eCS to setup that initial partition.
Thanks for the replies & help.

Hi ivan & Doug, This is turning out to be a REAL S.O.B:! First of all, this is on an AMD motherboard (Asus M4A88TD-v EVO/USB3) Drive #1 is WD6400 -Sata, 600gb, Drive #2 is Seagate ST3500413a -Sata, 500gb. The drive I'm trying to add as Drive #3 is WD5000AKS -Sata, 500gb.
  I wiped the drive like Doug said and then tried installing with just Drive's 1 & 3 connected  – no go said there was no partition on drive, I installed 2 partitions, using DFSee one OS2-LVM and a FAT 32, both installed an were usable from both Windoz & Linux. Then back to eCS install which crapped out with the “Failed to inialize Logical Volume Management- LVM.EXE –etc”. So next I Disconnected all drives and just connected the WD5000 and re-ran eCS install – same error! The next thing I'm going to do tomorrow is to try installing the WD500 on a Lenovo Desktop, it only has space for one H.D. So it will be a direct install from the eCS beta II CD.
  It looks to me that there are two different possibilities – The WD500 has problems (even though it works well with Windos & Linux or (God forbid) My ASUS has problems (it is a production machine!)
I guess I'll maybe know more tomorrow after I try it on the Lenovo.
Anybody got any further ideas?

Thanks  klipp

I'm trying to add a third hard drive to existing setup, this third drive is a WD500AKS. I can't install eCS-bII on it because of the problem with LVM not being able to be initiated because partitions on this new drive cannot be tagged as startable. I've tried everything I know of to get around this problem, but  – no luck. The latest thing I tried was using DFSee and creating a Primary partition as FAT32 and was able to tag is as startable, but then trying to install eCS to it resulted in the usual Failed to initialize Logical Volume Magament – Please close LVM.EXE – etc!
Hopefully someone knows how to cure this problem, Thanks for  any ideas.
  Ohh, by the way, I also tried removing the other H.D drives and tried to install to just the WD500AKS
and that didn't work either.

Setup & Installation / Re: eCS 2.1 hangs on boot - OS2LVM.DMD
« on: September 17, 2015, 09:52:25 pm »
H i Roderick, Thanks for the reply! I'm still fighting this problem but have a possible solution I'm hesitant to apply. It looks like I've lost the LVM Table for this particular partition (it is 1 of 8 partitions on this hard drive). There are 2 other eCS JFS partitions also on this drive that boot just fine. And yes I can boot from the eCS 2.1 install disk as well. I would like to try the "ReCreate LVM Tables" option, but I don't know if it will screw up the other partitions on this disk, if that happened that would make this small disaster into a really fatal disaster. Does "ReCreate LVM Tables" do just that without loosing any data or messing up other partitions on this same drive?

Thanks again  klipp

Setup & Installation / eCS 2.1 hangs on boot - OS2LVM.DMD
« on: September 16, 2015, 12:17:20 am »
Somehow I've screwed up my eCS partition on my machine for compiling sources. The last thing I had done was manually deleting a WATCOM install. It didn't want to delete, as I had it installed in two different directories (yeah, I know -- real smart!) any ways now when I re-boot  it locks up after getting to "Installed OS2LVM.dmd". I don't know what was supposed to come next, I'm guessing UNICODE.SYS ?
  Can anybody help me out? Seems like the older I get, the DUMBER I get, Thought it was supposed to be the other way
 around!

Thanks,  klipp

Thanks all for you're suggestions. For now I'm using Alex's suggestion of GFC .
However RBRi -- I found and downloaded Araxis ver 4.0 and it worked well but would not save the edited file unless I registered the software. I could find no way to register it. If you're still willing I would like to take you up on you're offer to make it available. You can contact me at rklipp(@)megared.net.mx  -- thanks!

Utilities / Diff Tool

Is there such a thing as a "simple, easy to use Diff Tool for OS/2" ? I need to add and remove (merge) statements from some large files.

thanks, klipp

Programming / Re: Need a couple of .DLL's
« on: September 03, 2015, 10:41:29 am »
Hi once more Dave, I think you are right about VBoxXPCOMM.dll, or its an error thats been carried forward from the early days, clear up to version 4.2.32!   I was however mistaken in saying that its needed for os2, its needed for Windoz. VBoxXCOMM.dll is needed for for compiling os2 and got me a bit further in the compile. Thanks again.

O.K. Dave, I found VBoxXCOM.dll in 1.6.3 /out dir and that got me a little further! Still need VBoxXPCOM.dll though !

Hi Dave, They are both needed when trying to compile the Frontends for the newer VBox builds for OS/2.

Does anybody know where I can download VBoxXCOM.dll and VBoxXPCOM.dll? I've searched every place I know of and havn't been able to come up with them.

Thanks for any help,  klipp
