USB / usb and irq
2011.01.26, 21:34:40
Hi to all

Problem:  Lost USB mouse, lost ability to see usb scanner,usb printer.                                                   
both have worked on this machine in past.  (Can see usb mass storage devices)

On recent re install of ecm 20 ga, could not  get acpi to accept any
switch except /smp, computer seem to work ok.  rmview /irq reveled irq 10
was shared btwn sound (hda nvida) and ohci compliant host controller .
A couple of tries later, accepted,  /smp/apci, why??   sound went to irq 21
and works,  lost reference to irq 10 and ohci usb host controller .
normally rmview  /irq would report 2 ohci and 2 ehci controller, now
only 1 ohci and 2 ehci.
Any help, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated

Best regards

Hi to all:

   
Recently, I received msg on boot that hard disk #xxxx was in danger of failure, happened to be

Setup & Installation / RC7 Silver
2009.09.10, 09:29:04
Downloaded Rc7 on 28 Aug, after two unsuccessful installs (because of operator errors) third try went very  well.  Install was with modern hardware in safe mode, acip wizard scaned the hardware and came up with the following suggested switches /smp /apic, which I put in and rebooted to a stable two processor configuration.  The only serious problem I have found is no sound.  On this computer, I had partial sound in rc6a very breifly using Paul Smedleys uniaud v 1.9.2. I have tried many of Paul's uniaud versions with no success.

I have found what appears to be an anomaly in irq assignment for sound system

Rc6a and rc7 in boot process reports hda nvidia,assigned irq 10
mixer detected--conexant cx20549 (venice)

rc6a rmview
irq level=10  pci pin=none  flg=shared hda nvidia

irq level=10  pci pin=B  flg=shared ehci complaint usb host controller

Rc7 rmview
irq level=21  pci pin=A  flg=shared hda nvidia
no other line for irq 21 being shared with ???

Other than the sound problem, I like rc7 very much and find it considerably more stable than rc6a overall

Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome and appreciated

ODIN / Odin and java5
2009.05.21, 22:12:53
Hi to all:
    I am trying to install java5 (jre-1_5_0_17-i586-p.exe and get the following error after dropping the .exe on odin pe."Installer:wrapper.create file failed with error206: file name is too long".  I have tried several different ways to shorten the file name with no success.   

    Downloaded odin-20050402=xp.wpi and installed ok, then upgraded to odin-20060817-xp.zip.

   Using the same drag and drop on pe.exe of pgm (noteworthy, setup-nwc2_demo.exe). I get a successful install and launches ok, but has problems.

    Using same procedure on pgm (Ultraiso) I get a successful install and launches ok,but I don't have a small iso to try the demo out.

    Given the above exaamples, it seems like odin itself installed correctly.

    As always any thoughts and suggestion as to the jre problem will be greatly appreciated.

Multimedia / RC6a non working sound
2009.02.19, 05:34:49
Hi To All:

    I have been successful in getting a stable sys with RC6a, but without acpi. Have not suceeded in getting a stable sys that way,  and no sound. Am now working on sound problem.  I tried re installing base mmos2, still no sound and when rebooted got the following error msg.
sys1201 the device driver  D:\os2\boot.com specified in the device statement on line 219 of config.sys file was not installed line 219 ignored  press enter to continue.

Second sys1201 msg  same except this one is D:\os2\mdos\vcom.sys  line 50.

searching thru config.sys (using two methods, direct counting lines and using enhanced E editor
by pillarsoft)

Line 219 actually is---- run= D:\os2\system\logdaem.exe
Line 50  actually is---- device=D:\tcpip\bin\vdosstcp.sys

The real  device = statments for \os2\boot.com and \os2\mdos\vcom.sys had been previously
been remmed out.
Any ideas, suggestions on what is causing what appears to be an anomally in the config .sys file
will be reatly appreciated

Setup & Installation / rc6a
2009.01.09, 06:34:05
Hi to all:
    Here is a small success story on installing ecom 2.0 rc6a.  Divided hd into two
volume's,  vista and ECS.  ECS volume was formatted with JFS, seem to install ok with acpi, installer reported that my AMD cpu was supported.  Everything seemed ok but on reboot system      extremely slow trying to launch and eventually would not start.  Reinstalled without acpi and again installed without complaint, on reboot everything worked well.  Using the LVM,  installed os2 boot manager ok and added both ecs and vista to the bm.  On reboot with out install cd, ECS booted fine but vista would not, error msg returned,   \windows\system 32\winload.exe either missing or corrupt.  Ran vista recovery cd and re booted to ecs and same error occurred.
Question:  Any thoughts on getting around this vista problem?

Question: How to get back door access to ecs to try various acpi switches without having to reinstall ecs os

Setup & Installation / rc5 install

Hi to the list:

    Can anyone tell me what is loading in the background when the OS2rectangle (upper left corner of screen) leaves,
Then I beleive, The next screen should be ecom splash screen, then graphical install.  My interest is what files are being loaded and in what order  I am interested in accessing the config .sys file and remming out, perhaps drivers one at a time to see if I can get past this hurdle in installing eComstation.  Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to install ecom rc2-4 along side vista on new machine(Hp dv9623cl  2 111 gb hard drives,  2 gb memory, amd turion64, pioneer dvdrw dvr-k17.  on my old machine rc2 installed and worked fine, no problems.
never had a chance to try rc 3 or rc4.  reseting boot order to boot from cd, creates memory disk, unpackes install disk, brings up menu and ask, boot from hard drive, boot from cd, booting from cd brings up next menu asking, boot with default values or boot from my selected values (tried both ways).  Gets to white rectangle in upper left corner (ecs) and rectangle in right corner (load).  appears to be trying to launch install part of cd and fails(kicks back to starting point on cd.  Has anyone actually installed any rc along side vista.  I have tried several time with HP support at various levels and the best I could get was a vague hint that it might be security issues from vista or driver incompatibility.  If this is an absolute no go with vista,  would reverting the machine to xp be of any benefit.  Or this may never happen with this computer.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Recently my old Ibm A21M died and went to computer heaven.  I replaced it with an HP dv9623 notebook with nvidia Gforce Go 7150M graphics and vista pre installed.  On old machine ecs rc2 installed just fine with windoze
xp installed in own partition.  On new machine cd starts ok and goes thru the unpacking process ok from either install with default values or install with more options with skip disk integrity check marked.  I get to the point where I see the white rectangle in upper left corner and the machine reverts back to first menu on cd.
Any thoughts, suggestions or direction to install resources would be greatly appreciated.
