 :) :)Yes, but not in AHCI
#2
 :) :)So Guys there is a progress. EcS v2 is installed. Here is HOW:
1. BIOS - COMPATIBILITY
2. My own values on preboot screen
3. At the end of phase1 (reboot delay 20s) - eject CD
4. Boot Manager - EcS (booting from HD) - inserting CD 1
5. My surprise boot continue
6. Choose options
7. phase 2 finished (repeat as phase 1)
8.reboot
9. finish installation
10. reboot ALL OK   I am happy, very happy  :D :D :D

Tried with AHCI - NO GO. Same as before - Dani and OS/2 cannot operate HD...

There is difference between R60 and L512 in AHCI implementation.

One more interesting think: with acpi enabled with SMP  system shows 4 processors.

Pete: You are right. During last installation I change it to HPFS. Volume is compatible not LVM.

Next step is network. That I did not configure yet. I will do that at home.

 :)So this will be an interesting thread. Here are the answers:
1. Yes system cannot boot from HD. I realize that.
2. it is LVM and JFS
3. Boot Manager involved - YES. Win 7 will be installed.
For understanding: Via BIOS I can set COMPATIBILITY or AHCI mod.
If in COMPATIBILITY then system hangs immediately after reboot start.
If in AHCI then Boot Manager start-EcS selected(its the only one), Boot start, came to DANI, show first line of the driver, next msg is that OS/2 cannot operate HD.
I have mounted HD with freshly installed EcS 2 on another ThinkPad (R60) with AHCI enabled, to my new ThinkPad L512. Result is the same as in above answers. Does not work in any case with same massages. In R60 is working without problems (some small, but for those I know the reason&can be easily solved). So my conclusion is that Dani is not fully AHCI compatible or L52 have something different in implementing AHCI, or it is unsuported chipset. That I have to check (today)

This is questionable. I just installed EcS v 2 on thinkpad R60 with AHACI enabled and there was no problem. Dani version is 1.8.5 (supp with Ecs). So I took the HD out and now I will try to install it to the new ThinkPad. lets see what will be the outcome.

So I try installation again but without success. Again it hangs after first reboot. This time I wrote the massage. Here it is: 0000000024BC0B32-SYS2027-0000:0180.
As fare as I remember this msg means that OS2BOOT is missing. I other words HD is not visible and files are not found. That leads to the DANIS506.add file which most probably does not support AHCI. At least on this machine. I will try installation on another ThinkPad (R60). If that goes OK as silver version of EcS then something is different between implementation of the AHCI on this two ThinkPads.
#6
I did that last evening and still the same. I will try today again with default language to see if there any difference. Language was changed on pre-boot screen.
#7
Yes I updated my CD#1 with new Dani driver hoping that will help with AHCI but it did not. Reason was that in compatibility mod system hang after first reboot with a msg which I do not have here. I will recreate the situation and post a msg.
#8
Sorry to resurrect old post but since it is related to ecs installation and AHCI than it may be of interest.
Hardware: LENOVO TP L512, i5, 500GB sata HD, sata CD/DVD. For beginning this should be enough.
Problem: Booting from internal CD in AHCI mode - fail. Must be in COMPATIBILITY mode (BIOS). After first phase (first reboot) TP crashed. Reseting mode to AHCI (BIOS) system start to boot from HD but than fail with known msg:
OS/2 cannot operate your HD or ... That happens when DANI driver should be loaded, as meter of fact it start to load because there is first line of Dani driver ( /V in config,sys) Version of Danis506 is 1.8.7.
Any suggestions???

And why not. We still have some years in front of us. So if UEFI get large portion of the MB market there will be onli one solution: To make eCS UEFI compatible. And BTW Roderic did not mentioned SIZE of the HD but LAYOUT.
