Setup & Installation / Re: Multiple SCSI adapters
« on: 2009.01.14, 18:32:57 »
Thanks for the reply. I swapped slots for the Adaptec SCSI adapter, and there was no change, except for the bus number. If it is true that IRQ 11 on separate PCI buses will  not conflict, then I can rule out an IRQ conflict as the cause of the problem.

This is the error message on boot:

0x04 0x02 0x00 0x9005 0x8014 0x9005 0x0044 7901 ASC-29320LP
AICU320.ADD Failed to load

Could it be that the driver simply does not support this hardware? Is this telling me that it supports 9005 8014, but not 9005 0044?

Thanks, Robert. I have now installed the PCI probe, and it reports four devices using IRQ 11. I've placed them below. How would I change this? I don't see any way to change IRQ used by ServeRaid or Adaptec using either command line parameters, or the configuration programs for the SCSI adpaters in the BIOS.

Setup & Installation / Multiple SCSI adapters
« on: 2009.01.12, 19:02:49 »
I have an IBM eServer 8647-6BX with a ServeRaid 5i and an Adaptec ASC 29320LP.

The ServeRaid 5i is working, and the eCS installation CD can see the disks. I have installed ACP 2 on it, but when I add support for the Adaptec ASC 29320LP, the driver does not detect the hardware.

During the machine start-up, I can see the Adaptec card, and I can press control-A and interact with the Adaptec configuration program.

But OS/2 cannot see the card. I'm using the Sept 21, 2004 version of AICU320.ADD. I've heard that there are problems with newer versions of this driver.

Can anyone suggest why this driver would not load?

OK, to define the terms,

A server shares files. When you share a drive, your computer is acting as a server.

A client browses shared files. When you access a shared directory on another computer, your computer is a client. Usually computers in File and Print sharing act as both clients and as servers.

The MAC can mount an FTP site such that it looks like a drive in Finder. So if you run an FTP server on your OS/2 computer, then you can use the Mac ftp connection to browse and read (but not write, due to a limitation in the Mac). The Mac is acting as a client in this case. This is an easy, fast way to share files between Mac and eCS.

The terminology is important when implementing SAMBA. The SAMBA software has a server that lets you share files. The Mac can read and write files shared by SAMBA. There is also a SAMBA client that allows an eCS machine to access files on a SAMBA server.

> Use FTP instead to give the Mac read-only access to OS/2 shares.

I checked FTP (instead of SMB and AFP). It says FTP is on and other
machines can access the Mac's files by going to file:/// or browsing for
Mac (the Macbook's name is simply "Mac"). The other computers can't find
it, though, so something is still missing.


You've started the FTP server on the Mac. I was trying to get you to use the client.

I use SMB on our MacBook running MacOS 10.5.6 to connect to my Samba server on a daily basis.  SMB may be broken connecting to IBM Peer - but that's probably cos IBM Peer is so old and out of date - Vista IIRC has issues talking to it too.


So, are you recommending that Ted

1. set up SAMBA server on each OS/2 box
2. set up SAMBA client on each OS/2 box

in order to get the Mac to share files?

Can Ted run SAMBA and OS/2 File and Print at the same time?

Pete's response is somewhat misleading. Checking the router would be great for a user with a router, but Ted pointed out he is using an OS/2 computer with a modem.

I use a Macintosh computer with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and OS 9.2. I share printers and files.

But his point 1 is generally correct. Ted, the original poster, has chosen to use static IP. This is more difficult to use than DHCP, but it works. The Mac needs an IP address, netmask, gateway address and name server (DNS) addresses. These are easy to put in, and if any one is wrong, then the Mac won't be able to use the Internet. From the symptoms, either gateway or name server address is wrong.

Personally, I use DHCP, but back in my InJoy Dialer days, I used static IP just the way Ted did. And InJoy dialer was insanely great. Any time the Mac needed the internet, it would cause OS/2 to dial out and hang up when it was done.

Sharing using SMB under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) is broken. Don't use it with OS/2 File and Print. Use FTP instead to give the Mac read-only access to OS/2 shares. AFP is old; don't use it. Sharing/Connecting on the Mac is located in Finder under "Go to Server".

Instead, set up your printer on your OS/2 machine as LPD. The Mac will have no problem discovering and using your printer.

I'd look at two things.

1. The log file.
2. Try doing the restore from command line using CLREST

Well, I'm selling new laptops like this one with eCS pre-loaded.

http://www.blondeguy.com/computer/ThinkpadT43.html

To get your existing T23 to work better, maybe all that is needed is to refresh the TCP/IP stack a little bit.

First, kill dhcpmon.exe in whatever way you like. Then execute these commands to down and up the network card.

dhcpmon -t
ifconfig lan0 down
ifconfig lan0 delete
route -fh
arp -f
dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 10

No. But it hasn't really been a problem since Warp 3, fixpak 17.

From the readme for UDF.IFS:

Parameter /REV is used to format the media according to the revision of the
  OSTA UDF Standard (1.50, 2.00 or 2.01). By default revision 2.01 is used.
  Previous versions of UDF201 package didn't have this parameter and formatted
  disks were compatible with the UDF revision 1.50.

ACPI/APM doesn't work well for IBM Thinkpad T43.

To install without ACPI, go into the pre-boot menu, and turn off ACPI. Then, during installation, ACPI will come up disabled. Otherwise, ACPI will be installed regardless of how you check or uncheck the ACPI box.

Without ACPI, T43 works well.

The T43 has two nics, one wired and one wireless. Use Advanced or network will not work.

The ability to handle disks larger than 500 GB is not a kernel limitation, but a limitation of the OS2DASD driver. Even 16-bit code could handle an arbitrary sized disk.

The kernel replacement is a much bigger job that the DASD driver replacement. Eventually we need the kernel replaced, but not because of larger disk drives.

I'm not aware of any replacement of OS2DASD that enables us to boot from larger than 500 GB drives.

Right now, the PATH is limited to 1024 chars before OS/2 starts to have problems. Either fix the problems, or truncate the PATH.
