Philips cdrom causes boot problem if /m parameter used
Last updated: 11 Feb 1995

DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS
After setting the number of 2500 byte CD frame buffers to a value greater than the default value, OS2 will not boot. The default value is 16, the maximum 26, and the minimum 8. If customer is loading the LMS205.ADD driver, the line in config.sys would read BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /m:26 to specify 26 2500 byte CD frame buffers. With the Philips 206 cdrom, the line would read BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD /m:

SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION
Change the number of CD frame buffers back to the default value.

DETAILS OF RESOLUTION
Please follow these instructions:

1. Bring up the OS2 config.sys in an editor.

2. Check the config.sys for the statements BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /m:26

3. Remove the /m:26 so the line reads BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD

4. Save the file, shutdown and reboot for the changes to take effect.
