This problem is caused by a bug in Grub2. Currently, Grub2 cannot be installed to a partition, only to the MBR.

There are the following scenarios:

* On systems with disks < 512GB, you should be able to install Grub2 to the MBR and boot OS/2 via the IBM Bootmanager using the chainloader option. Or you use the IBM Bootmanager as the main boot manager and install Grub1 in the Linux partition.

* On disks >512GB, OS/2 does not support the correct geometry. You can still use the IBM Bootmanager and install Grub 1 in the Linux partition.


GRUB2 is used in 9.04 if file system ext4 is selected.

GRUB2 has to be installed to the Partition boot record.

There is a thread at German OS2.org

Mulit Boot System mit BM, Installation von Ubuntu 9.04 in freier logischer Partition HowTo

http://de.os2.org/forum/helpdesk/?list=123432

The Howto is tested and verifyed with 9.04

Does GRUB2in MBR or the chainload module set the  I13X Flag in memory (required by the BMR and OS/2 PBR code)?

See The OS/2 Master Boot Record - I13 I13X Test and Flag

Hallo Cytan,

have a look at UPSSV on Hobbes. It does the Phyical reorganisation of the FF Databases and deliver information about the DB s.

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/internet/misc/upssv-1.0rc3.zip

Reame.txt

0.    Summary

      Start with release 3.0 Firefox administer user profile data
      by SQLite databases. SQL databases requires maintenance schedules for
      physical reorganisation of the databases. This task -
      for some of the profile databases -  is triggered by Firefox ( online ),
      if an idle status of the system is detected.
      UPSSV offers the user a batch function of reorganisation (SQL Vaccum)
      all of the database of the user profile at downtime of the
      browser at his own convenience. UPSSV required execution time
      of about 120 sec on my test system (ThinkPad T23 1.13 GHz HPFS). 

end of snippet readme

Kind regards

You need a LAN connection between the two. If you want to use Remote Desktop on the Windows machine, you need a port of rdesktop for OS/2. There is a port that uses SDL (http://glebk.newmail.ru/rdesktop/rdesktop-1.5.0-gcc-SDL-a2.zip)

Hallo Christian,

thank for the hint. I have not found this source during my google search :-)


Here are the links to the home page related to  the download link

http://glebk.newmail.ru/rdesktop/Rdesktop-gcc-SDL-OS2.html

This page in in Russian language.

Here is the machine  translation to English

Do you have any information about the author? Can the source be trusted?

Kind regards

Hallo,

look at Hobbes. There are some older OS/2 Port of of the RDP Client.

An alternative might be the use of an JAVA Client.

The are RDP JAVA Client for JAVA 1.4.1    Search via google.

Hello Doodle,

please have a look at the following idea:

I like to see  the following data logging as on option.

example of log file:

Date          Time     duration in sec  Text

2008-07-04 11-11-00        0060            idle time  log start at  "log-value-bounder-start-value-idle"
2008-07-04 11-12 -00       0120            idlel time
2008-07-04 11-12-50                           screen save display screen started at  "log-value-bounder-start-value-display-screen"
2008-07-04 11-13-00        0180            idle time
2008-07-04 11-14-00        0240            idle time
2008-07-04 11-14-23        0263            idle time end, system activity detected - "type of activity detected"

2008-07-04 11-45-10        0060            idle time  log start at  "log-value-bounder-start-value-idle"
2008-07-04 11-46-10        0120            idle time
2008-07-04 11-47-00        0170            screen save display screen started at  "log-value-bounder-start-value-display-screen"
2008-07-04 11-47-10        0180            idle time
2008-07-04 11-48-10        0240            idle time
2008-07-04 11-49-10        0300            idle time
2008-07-04 11-14-23        0340            idle time end, system activity detected - "type of activity detected"


Options:

  logging append to
  check box and path \logging file 

"log-value-bounder-start-value-idle"
"log-value-bounder-start-value-display-screen" this value does exist as option:-)
"log time value" 60 sec in example log   

Addtional Feature detail:

handling / changing of log file / new log file  like the application SysBar/2 on Hobbes
"switching log file on the fly / during a log session"

    from Dmitry I. Platonoff  and Max A. Alekseyev
   Thanks to the Autory - I like SysBar/2 :-)

kind regards

Rainer

Hi all,

---> snip

I did check that my shared memory wasn't exhausted, it had about 99MB available.

---> snip
 
  Thanks!

cytan



How do you do this?

Like to get this info from my system  :-)

kind regards

Rainer

Hi Rainer,

   Just get the programme: above512_001b.zip from hobbes and it'll tell you how much shared memory is used.

cytan

P.S. My machine's up 60 days today and everything seems to be running smoothly.


Hi cytan,

thanks for the hint.

Interesting Tool - good to know there are no high or shared memory bottlenecks  on my system currently -:)

The 60 day uptime - Congratulation to Doodle and you for the solving of the problem.

kind regards

Rainer

There are actually some step by step instructions to try with some usb sticks on the DFSee website:

http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/howto.htm#usbootlf

apparently it doesn't always work... I have not tried it myself but will someday.


Hallo,

the current state of How to boot eCS form USBMSD is documented at

         Howto Boot OS/2 - eCS from USB Mass Storage Devices ( MSD )

I sent it back. It returned today. It has a new serial number. I assume they replaced it. It was the main board. Once I know that it works, I will - eventually - try to install eCS.  8)

Well.. Sigurd just publish his Howto on Hobbes 

              - the German Version - with a lot of screen shoots and instructions

                the english version is in the pipe line


Now there are 3 HwoTo about the EeePC and eCS on Hobbes

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&button=Search&key=eee+asus&stype=all&sort=type&dir=%2F

and the Wiki

  http://os4you.org/wiki-usb-boot-en.html#The_Asus_EeePC_-_HowTo_Boot_an_OS.2F2_-_eCS_System

Currently Ed is working with the GenMac Team to the NIC and WLAN Support

There are solutions for the video and audio support.


happy installing

I tried the image editor with Golden Code Java 1.4.1 and it works.
I did get some out of memory exceptions but that's normal (the parameter "-Xmx256M" should help).

Hallo Juegen,

thanks for the test.

Any difference between the native and the "odin" port version,  prerformance etc. ?

Kind Regards

Rainer

Thank you, I'm happy to see the program is appreciated.
However you should really thank Jerry (the author), I really did nothing more than sending an email. He already wanted to remove the 1.5 dependencies, but probably I gave him motivation to do so.

Bye
Cris


Tested with Golden Code Jave 1.4.1_05 or  only with InnoTk Java 1.4.2_9 ?


Kind Regards

Rainer
