********************************************************************************
DO NOT APPLY THIS FIX IF YOU HAVE ALREADY APPLIED THE S3-256 PACKAGE, AND,
DO NOT APPLY THIS FIX UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED BELOW!!
********************************************************************************
This fix is for APAR PJ08805 -
* Can not install OS/2 2.1 on machines with > 16MB RAM, or
* If OS/2 2.1 was installed on a machine with < 16MB, and RAM was increased
above 16MB thereafter, the machine will boot continously after the first boot
attempt.
Updated Module: OS2KRNLI
This fix requires the OS/2 2.1 Installation Diskette to be updated with a new
OS2KRNLI file. Please follow the instructions below so that we can provide
service to your machine in the future.
To Install:
1.) Create a backup of your original OS/2 2.1 Installation Diskette by doing a
DISKCOPY.
2.) If you are unable to install:
Copy the OS2KRNLI file from the fix diskette to the backed-up OS/2 2.1
Installation Diskette. Install OS/2 2.1 using the backed-up OS/2 2.1
Installation Diskette.
If you have already installed but are unable to boot after increasing RAM
above 16MB:
Copy the OS2KRNLI file from the fix diskette to the backed-up OS/2 2.1
Installation Diskette. Boot using the backed-up OS/2 2.1 Installation
Diskette and Diskette 1. When you are prompted to insert Diskette 2 to
continue the installation or escape, press the ESC key. At the command
prompt, type C:\OS2\ATTRIB -h -s -a -r OS2KRNL
(where C: is your OS/2 partition. If you installed OS/2 in a different
partition, use that drive letter.).
Insert the fix diskette into drive A:
Type COPY A:OS2KRNLI C:OS2KRNL
Type C:\OS2\ATTRIB +h +s +a +r OS2KRNL
3.) After OS/2 2.1 is installed, you must perform the following steps. In order
for us to be able to provide service to your machine in the future, we must
save the original OS/2 2.1 GA-level OS2KRNLI file on a separate diskette,
and save the "service log" file LOGU001.OS2 in \OS2\DLL.
1.) Start an OS/2 Full Screen session.
2.) Insert the original OS/2 2.1 Installation Diskette in drive A:
3.) At the command prompt, type "COPY A:\OS2KRNLI C:\OS2\DLL"
(where C: is your OS/2 partition. If you installed OS/2 in a different
partition, use that drive letter.)
4.) Insert a blank diskette in drive A:
5.) Type "MD A:\ARCHIVE"
6.) Type "MOVE C:\OS2\DLL\OS2KRNLI A:\ARCHIVE"
(where C: is your OS/2 partition. If you installed OS/2 in a different
partition, use that drive letter.)
7.) Type "REN A:\ARCHIVE\OS2KRNLI OS2KRNL"
8.) Print the following on a label and attach it to the diskette in drive A:
"ARCHIVE: OS2KRNL 8805VOL"
Please save this diskette as it will be needed if future service is
required for the OS2KRNL module.
9.) Insert the fix Diskette in drive A:
10.) Type "UPDATE A: C:"
(where C: is your OS/2 partition. If you installed OS/2 in a different
partition, use that drive letter.) This will update the service log,
LOGU001.OS2, on your system. This is a requirement to be
able to apply fixes to your machine in the future.
