ERROR DESCRIPTION:
OS/2INFOAPAR INSTL - Miscellaneous info on install problems
PROBLEM:
SYS1200 error when attempting to Dual Boot to DOS with an error
code indicating that the DOS environment cannot be created and
you see an error code - EC=00BF.
RESOLUTION:
Ensure that you have not removed or remarked out any of the
VIRTUAL DOS device drivers. If all else fails, rename your
current CONFIG.SYS to CONFIG.XXX and copy your original CONFIG.
SYS to the root directory. The original CONFIG.SYS can be found
in the OS2 INSTALL directory.
PROBLEM:
Installation on ZEOS notebook fails
RESOLUTION:
Follow the following steps:
The fix for this problem assumes that you have access to a
working copy of OS/2 2.0. Ask your local IBM dealer if they can
provide an OS/2 2.0 machine for you to use for a few minutes, or
ask a friend/co-worker with 2.0 installed. Bring your Instal-
lation diskette with you, along with a blank formatted high
density 3.5 inch diskette.
Step 1. Open the OS/2 System object on the OS/2 Desktop by
double clicking with mouse button 1 (usually the left
mouse button)
Step 2. Open the Command Prompts folder (by double clicking on
the folder object).
Step 3. Double click on the OS/2 Window Object.
Step 4. You should now be at an OS/2 Command Prompt.
Step 5. Backup your Installation Diskette to the blank 3.5 inch
high density diskette you brought with you. Enter the
following command at the pronpt: DISKCOPY A: A:<enter>
and follow the prompts.
Step 6. With your backup diskette in the drive, enter the fol-
lowing: PATCH SYSINSTX.COM<enter>
Step 7. When asked for the offset address, enter: 96AF<enter>
Step 8. On the line that is shown, enter 45 to replace 44 as
the first byte in the line and then press <enter>.
Step 9. When asked if you wish to apply patches, answer: Y
<enter>.
Step 10. At the OS/2 Command prompt again, enter: SYSINSTX A:
Step 11. Install OS/2 on your ZEOS using the patched backup
Installation Diskette.
Step 12. The patch MUST be applied using OS/2. If it is not
available, a diskette with the patch applied can be
sent to you from IBM.
LOCAL FIX:
Blair Leavell
PROBLEM:
Fails to reboot after pressing enter.
Install requests the user to press enter to reboot at the end of
the full screen portion of install, or at the end in the case of
a remote install. In some cases this will cause the system to
hang. This is a problem in the file system shutdown.
WORKAROUND:
If the machine does not reboot, try Ctl-Alt-Del, and if
this fails power off/on the machine. This should not
cause the user any problems, but running a checkdisk
after the install completes 'just in case' wouldn't be
a bad idea. -Rick DeBay
