Setup & Installation / Re: VmWare+SMP
« on: September 28, 2018, 06:45:31 am »
I have Aurora with kernel 14.103_SMP (XR_C005) applied, under VmWare (5.0) and want put SMP feature to work... Any ideas? Only one working combination which i find, was OS/4 kernel (and looks very nice, it put my virtual SCSI into 'high interrapts mode'), but it really was very slow VDM eats 100% for all cores :(
I do not have legal version of ACPI.PSD. Will it work?

P.S. kernel 14.105_SMP works with os2apic.psd /apic for some seconds after starting WPS, looks like 'harder' version of problem, described with OS/4, i.e. all cores are completely 'eaten' by system...

Your question is not completely clear. You would better to come to irc://efnet/os2russian

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.  I believe one needs the OS/4 kernel and the QSINIT loader to utilized RAM above 4 GB.

OS/4 kernel (and emsFS.ifs)   _OR_  the  QSINIT (and some .ADD driver)

...because I told that the OS4 kernel ....  was based on leaked source code of the IBM's OS/2 Warp 4 kernel.

Hi Martin

AFAIK, it was Merlin (4.0) source code which leaked from IBM. But OS/4 is a patch for Aurora (4.5) kernel.  Meanwhile, if you have any prove that OS/4 is based on leaked Merlin, pls, show them to us.

Edit:  I forgot to mention TRAP 0005 - BOUND RANGE EXCEEDED: A Bound instruction exceeded the specified limits

To be accurate:  C0000005 is not the same with Trap 0005.

C0000005 means exception  "ACCESS VIOLATION"  and in this case "SPACE ACCESS" to the selector 560h.

Programming / Re: SIO, SIO2K
« on: August 06, 2018, 08:27:27 am »
Sorry, but releasing as open-source, does that not mean the stuff could simply be 'published' to a public repo? Say Github or Netlabs maybe?

I also think so.

...I think it will be hard to find someone with OS/2 device driver development skills to physically go to his home and work there.

No need to work there  - just pickup the sources.

Programming / SIO, SIO2K
« on: August 05, 2018, 11:07:03 pm »
Message from Ray Gwinn:

====
I am willing to open source SIO, SIO2K and all its parts, like VMODEM under a GPL license. But I cannot do it myself. If someone could come to my home in Beckley, WV I would let them work with it and provide what help I can.

It would not be a small effort, could be as much as two weeks for a very good programmer. All my stuff is in 386 assembler and I use the advanced features of MASM. Many assembler programmers would be confused by the code. I even use PERL scripts during the make process. It could also be as short as a few hours, if the computer is dead.

anyone from US to help?

General Discussion / Re: IBM DDK License Discussion
« on: August 03, 2018, 08:40:30 am »
I guess that the libraries and tool (binaries) of the IBM DDK package will be close source but at least at some point of time those were provided as freeware by IBM (Evidence).
Regards
It was free but you  had to register, which took you to the license page that had the license text you reference above.  It then had I agree and I disagree buttons.  Clicking I Agree took you to the download of the DDK, back then you had to download several zip files to get it all.

Once I did  such a registration and downloaded DDK files for free.  But I was not given any license number.  How can I prove that I am a legal DDK user if  some body asks ?

I was part of the Presentation Manager development team and very happy to be part of any initiative around OS/2

Hi,

It is exciting  to meet somebody from PM dev team. Do you remember  any details about PMMERGE.DLL ?

Please tell me how to get such a log. I need a Com-null modem cable and some software on the other side (Windows OS & with logging software, perhaps)? This type of testing, I have not yet conducted.

Here is some info how to get com port log https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Phoenix_OS/4

but still a lot of conventions that are not obvious.
Please  advise what wasn't obvious and it will be added to HowTo file

For example, I,as an ArcaOS user, do not understand which version (5.01, 5.02) OS/4 installation is preferred.
To tell the truth, the version of ArcaOS doesn't matter, that's why this info is not included in HowTo file.

Is it possible to apply the patch to the versions of the ACPI emerging in packages subscription to ArcaOS, and generally whether it is if there is an alternative in the face of ACPI4? Do I need to register ACPI4.Bpd in config? Or just put it in the OS2/BOOT folder

Even that would just find APIC4.BPD I've wasted a lot of time.

The available patches are listed in the README.TXT which is together with patches.
ACPI.BPD is beta now and is not distributed widely. When one person receives ACPI.BPD he also receives instructions how to apply it to the system. ACPI.BPD is an optional driver.

P.S. - On the SuperMicro X10SBA motherboard with the Intel® Celeron J1900 (4cores) processor, I was unable to run the OS/4 project with ArcaOS 5.01 or 5.02, as ACPI was using ACPI4.BPD and PSD = os4apic.psd / APIC
But the loading stop, it seems to me, took place long before the ACPI check. The last inscription on the screen without logo - loading oemhlp those. the stop occurs immediately after you try to load the selected item from the os2ldr menu.

It would be great if you could get a comport log, meanwhile in the OS/4 hardware tested list there is one mobo with J1900, so there is a chance that your mobo may also start working.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the patches only work for versions 3.23.6 and earlier.

Patches are available for:
3.22.03
3.22.06
3.22.06 dbg
3.23.01
3.23.01 dbg

I'm a little confused. Is it possible to install the OS.4 kernel on the current version of ArcaOS (5.02)?

Somebody told me that he successfully installed OS/4 into latest ArcaOS.

I still have the old version of the ACPI installation package (3.23.01), but after its installation the system stops loading - apparently the kernel already works only with a fresh ACPI driver.

First of all, I hope that you have performed the install exactly as it is written in the HowTo file supplied with kernel. OS/4 does not support the latest version of ACPI.psd so you need an older version.

How bad is the idea of ​​installing OS / 4 without a patch on ACPI?

Unpatched ACPI.psd spoils OS/4 kernel during the system boot that's why it has to be patched and /ST=0 has to be put into PSD line in Config.sys

My ACPI.pcd (from the package for ArcaOS) fails to verify the patch with the correct ACPI3_23_01.PAT file

ACPI.psd from Arca package  may be needs to be unpacked by lxlite utility before applying the patch.

That by the way the os4 kernel, shows me an error with the status of the battery "E 3", but otherwise works very well.

I am using SNAP.

SNAP also creates that kind of VDM  as well as Panorama.

oemhlp.bpd also creates this VDM.
