Installing OS/2 2.11 ServicePak
Welcome to OS/2* 2.11. This document provides
you with information you need before you
install this version of the ServicePak.
It contains helpful hints found in our testing
as well as updates and corrections to the
"OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide".
Use this information in conjunction with the
"OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide", and the "OS/2 2.1
Using the Operating System" manual. You also can
use the new "Updates to: Installation Guide and
Using the Operating System" booklet, provided with
this version of OS/2.
o This version of the ServicePak contains the following
deliverables:
- Service to the OS/2 2.1 operating system.
These diskettes are used to service the OS/2 base
operating system files, including the installed printer
drivers.
- Updated Display Driver diskettes.
These diskettes are provided as replacements for the original
OS/2 2.1 Display Driver diskettes. You might be prompted to
insert these diskettes during installation.
- Updated Printer Driver diskettes.
These diskettes are provided only as replacements for the
original OS/2 2.1 Printer Driver diskettes. You will NOT
be prompted for these diskettes during installation.
- Updated MMPM/2 installation diskettes.
These diskettes are to be used to install service for this
version of MMPM/2.
o You will notice that the color scheme has
changed for this version of OS/2.
o After you install this version of OS/2, and you want to return to
the desktop layout of your previous version of OS/2 you must press
Alt-F1 prior to and up until the OS/2 logo screen is displayed.
This will restore your CONFIG.SYS and your OS/2 system .INI files
from the \OS2\INSTALL directory.
o After you install this version of OS/2, and you want to return to
the default desktop, you must do the following:
1. Restart your system using the OS/2 Installation Diskette,
then insert Diskette 1.
2. Press Esc to display the OS/2 command prompt; then change to
the \OS2 directory, on your hard drive.
3. Delete the current .INI files, and type:
DEL OS2.INI (and press Enter)
DEL OS2SYS.INI (and press Enter)
4. Re-create both files using the MAKEINI command. Type:
MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC (and press Enter)
MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC (and press Enter)
5. Change to the \DESKTOP directory.
6. Delete all subfolders (subdirectories).
7.Change to the root directory.
8. Delete the hidden file WP?ROOT.?SF in the startable
partition. Type:
\OS2\ATTRIB -h -s -r WP?ROOT.?SF (and press Enter).
Type:
DEL WP?ROOT.?SF (and press Enter).
9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del. The desktop is reinstalled to the
default desktop.
10. Shut down the system using the Shut down choice on the desktop
pop-up menu.
o To install this version of the ServicePak, you must have 1MB
available on your hard disk with 100KB free required on drive C.
The size of the operating system increases after you apply service
and varies based on your specific system configuration. This size
increase will not exceed 1MB.
o The WINOS2.ICO file has been updated for this version
of OS/2. If you have customized this file, be sure to
rename your file before you install OS/2. After you install,
delete the new WINOS2.ICO file, then rename your backed up copy
back to WINOS2.ICO.
o If you are installing on a computer with 6 meg of memory
or less, you must add the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS
file located on Disk 2 of this version of the ServicePak.
MEMMAN=SWAP, PROTECT
SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 2048 2048
where C:\OS2\SYSTEM refers to the drive and path where you
have available SWAP space.
If the CONFIG.SYS file located on Disk 2 is READONLY, you can
turn off the READONLY attributes by typing the following:
ATTRIB -r CONFIG.SYS
Shut down your system and when it starts, your CONFIG.SYS
files are updated.
o If you receive a return code 15 while installing this version
of the ServicePak, one or more of your system .INI files are
locked.
Your system .INI files might be READONLY. As a result,
the system will not update the .INI files. When this
happens, the position of the icons will not be saved.
To resolve this problem go to the directory where your system .INI
files are located C:\OS2 (default). Then, type the following:
ATTRIB -r *.ini
Shut down your system and when it starts, your system .INI
files are updated.
o Feedback from OS/2 testing and Customer Service indicates
that, on some platforms, hardware performance related features
might cause a failure in the OS/2 Installation program.
The most common symptom of this problem is a Trap 002, which
occurs while transferring files to the hard disk.
If you are unsuccessful at installing OS/2 on your computer,
you should consider the following procedure.
Some hardware platforms provide settings to enable/disable
performance related features. On systems that support this
function, change the settings in your CMOS to the following:
o Turbo/System Speed should be OFF/Slow
o Caching (External) should be OFF
o ROM Shadowing (System and Video) should be OFF
To improve system performance after you have installed OS/2,
all of the above settings can be changed back without causing
damage to OS/2.
o If you have a version of the OS/2 2.11 beta
installed, you need to reformat the OS/2
partition. Installing OS/2 2.11 over a
previous beta version is not supported.
Do not use any OS/2 system files (such as
OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI) from a previous
beta version.
o If you are installing this version of the ServicePak
and you receive the message:
"The response file C:\CSF_SEL.000 is invalid."
(where C:\ is representative of the drive where the file is located.)
this indicates that there is a problem with the installation
of the ServicePak. You must delete this file before you can
continue installing the ServicePak.
o If you are installing this version of the ServicePak, and
currently have a PCMCIA communication device (modem or fax/modem),
you must check your CONFIG.SYS file to ensure proper placement
of the following device statement:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\PCMCIA.SYS
This statement must be located after the COM.SYS device statement,
or your communications device might not function.
o If you are using an IOMEGA PC Powered Pro 90,
you must call the IOMEGA service number and
request OAD Driver Version 2.3.
o If you are installing from CD-ROM or diskette,
you must install this on a partition that has
OS/2 2.1 currently installed.
o If you are installing this version of the ServicePak
from CD-ROM and you receive the message:
"The response file A:\RESPONSE.FIL was not found."
this indicates that you cannot access your CD-ROM drive.
Check the CD-ROM drive to ensure it is inserted correctly,
or that it is ready and you are using a valid CD-ROM
configuration.
o Multimedia (MMPM/2) support can be installed directly
from the CD-ROM. Change to the \MMPM2 subdirectory
and perform a normal Multimedia install using MINSTALL.
You can also create Multimedia diskette images for
installation as described in this readme.
o If you are using Selective Install to add support to your
system after installing this version of the ServicePak:
1. Open the OS/2 System folder.
2. Open the System Setup folder.
3. Open the Selective Install object.
4. Select the items you want to install.
5. Select OK and choose drive A as the source drive.
6. When prompted to insert the OS/2 diskettes, insert the
OS/2 2.1 Installation diskettes. (Service might need to
be reapplied to ensure your system is at the proper level.)
7. When prompted to insert device driver diskettes,
insert the device driver diskettes provided with the
CSD.
8. Shutdown and reboot the computer to activate
the changes.
o If you have a DOS system with compression
activated, do one of the following:
1. Decompress the disk
2. Select a different partition
3. Format the disk
o Based on information provided by OS/2 testing and customer
service, some computers using features related to hardware
performance might fail during the OS/2 Installation program.
The most common symptom of this problem is a Trap 002, which
occurs while transferring files to the hard disk.
PREINSTALLED SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
----------------------------------
o Before you install this version of the ServicePak, you must
follow the steps below to backup files that will be overwritten
during installation.
1. Open an OS/2 command prompt.
2. Change to the PRELOAD directory, Type:
C:
then press Enter, type,
CD \OS2\INSTALL\PRELOAD
then press Enter.
3. To make backup copies, type:
COPY OS2LDR.MSG OS2LDR.BAK
then press Enter, type,
COPY README README.BAK
then press Enter, type,
COPY SAMPLE.RSP SAMPLE.BAK
then press Enter.
4. Now install the ServicePak.
o After you install the ServicePak or any time you reapply the
ServicePak, to ensure you have the correct files on your
preinstalled computer follow these steps:
1. Open an OS/2 command prompt.
2. Remove the following files by typing:
DEL C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPDRVS\*.DSP
3. Insert Display Driver Diskette 1 in drive A
4. Type:
XCOPY A:*.* C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPDRVS\*.*
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for Display Driver
Diskette 2 and 3.
6. Insert Printer Driver Diskette 1 in drive A
7. Type:
XCOPY A:*.* C:\OS2\INSTALL\PRTDRVS\PMDD_1\*.*
8. Insert Printer Driver Diskette 2 in drive A
9. Type:
XCOPY A:*.* C:\OS2\INSTALL\PRTDRVS\PMDD_2\*.*
10. Insert Printer Driver Diskette 3 in drive A
11. Type:
XCOPY A:*.* C:\OS2\INSTALL\PRTDRVS\PMDD_3\*.*
This enables you to update your display and printers as needed.
12. Change to the PRELOAD directory, Type:
C:
then press Enter, and type,
CD \OS2\INSTALL\PRELOAD
then press Enter.
13. To restore your backed up copies, type:
COPY OS2LDR.BAK OS2LDR.MSG
then press Enter, type,
COPY README.BAK README
then press Enter, type,
COPY SAMPLE.BAK SAMPLE.RSP
then press Enter.
This enables you to retain the correct version of these files
needed for Create Utility diskettes and Selective Uninstall.
If you created your utility diskettes after installing this
version of the ServicePak and you did not backup and
restore OS2LDR.MSG file, the following message will be displayed:
Insert the Operating System/2 diskette 1 into Drive A:
you must insert Utility diskette 2 into drive A, and then
press Enter to continue.
o After you install this version of OS/2 on a system originally
installed with the Blue diskettes, you must copy UNPACK.EXE to
UNPACK2.EXE located in the \OS2 directory. This enables you to
successfully perform a Selective Install. If you originally
installed with the Salmon diskettes, you DO NOT need to perform
the previous instructions.
CREATING DISKETTES FROM THE OS/2 CD
You use the LOADDSKF utility program to create
the diskettes. (LOADDSKF.EXE is in the
\DISKIMGS directory of the CD. LOADDSKF can be
run from either the DOS or OS/2 operating
system.)
In the following sections, you will see lists
of the product diskettes for OS/2 2.11 and the
actual diskette names as they exist on the CD.
For each diskette image file, use LOADDSKF to
expand the image to its own diskette. (Note
that you must use formatted diskettes for this
procedure.)
For example:
cddrive:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cddrive:\DISKIMGS\OS2\size\disk_name d:
where:
cddrive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM
size is 35 for 3.5-inch diskettes or 525
for 5.25-inch diskettes
disk_name is the diskette image file name
(for example, DISK1.DSK, PMDD1.DSK.)
d is the drive letter of your diskette
drive (A: or B:)

If you want to create diskettes for the
Multimedia support that is part of OS/2 2.11,
note that the images are located in the
\DISKIMGS\MMPM2 directory. Use LOADDSKF to
expand each image to its own diskette. For
example:
cddrive:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cddrive:\DISKIMGS\MMPM2\size\disk_name d:
where:
cddrive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM
size is 35 for 3.5-inch diskettes or 525
for 5.25-inch diskettes
disk_name is the diskette image file name
(for example, DISK1.DSK)
d is the drive letter of your diskette
drive (A: or B:)
NOTE: Use previously formatted diskettes for
the target (b:).

CREATING INSTALLATION DISKETTES FOR THE CD-ROM INSTALL
------------------------------------------------------
To create the two installation diskettes for the CD-ROM install from an
OS/2 command prompt, follow the instructions above to create the
INSTALLATION Diskette (DISK1.DSK) and CD-ROM Diskette 2 (DISK2_CD.DSK).
To proceed with the CD-ROM install:
Shutdown OS/2, and then insert INSTALLATION diskette 1 in drive A
and press Ctrl-Alt-Del.
IMPORTANT CD-ROM INSTALLATION INFORMATION
------------------------------------------
Important information for users of
Mitsumi, Panasonic (Creative Labs Omni CD,
IBM ISA or Panasonic), or Sony 31a CDROM drives.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THIS SERVICE PACK
YOU MUST MODIFY the CONFIG.SYS on Diskette 2.
To enable this service pack to be installed from your
CD drive, you MUST edit the config.sys on diskette 2
and modify the BASEDEV= statement for your drive
to include the CORRECT /P:??? parameter.
To determine the correct value for ??? in the /P:???
parameter, edit the config.sys on your working system,
locate the driver statement (one of the following)
for your CD drive, and copy the /P:??? parameters
from this statement to the same statement
in config.sys on diskette 2.
(for Panasonic, Creative, or IBM ISA)
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD
(for Mitsumi)
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD
(for Sony 31a)
BASEDEV=SONY31.ADD
If you have one of these statements in your existing
OS/2 CONFIG.SYS, you can skip the rest of these instructions.
If you do NOT have your CD drive currently working
under OS/2 with one of these driver statements,
but DID have the CD working under DOS, edit the
DOS CONFIG.SYS, locate the DEVICE= statement
for your CD Drive, and copy THAT /P: value to
the appropriate statement above.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do NOT have the CD working under OS/2
currently, and install this service from the CD,
the driver WILL NOT be copied onto your system
for you, but you CAN copy the driver manually,
and ADD the support AFTER the service is
applied by following the steps below.
Place the service pack diskette 2 into the A: drive,
open and OS/2 or DOS command session and type the following
commands:
(drive: below is the drive letter for your current
OS/2 boot drive)..
COPY A:\OS2CDROM.DMD drive:\os2
COPY A:\CDFS.IFS drive:\os2
COPY A:\xxx.ADD drive:\os2
(where xxx is the appropriate name from the
list of drivers above)
Edit the existing CONFIG.SYS on your OS/2 boot drive
and place the following three lines AT THE END of the file:
DEVICE=drive:\os2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=drive:\os2\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=xxx.ADD /P:???
where this line matches the line you modified to
allow service to be installed from the CDROM drive.
CID and NVDM/2 NOTES
--------------------
o For LCU and NVDM/2 users, you must unpack SEMAINT.EXE from the CID
tree where your current CSD version of OS/2 2.11 resides,
to the CID Code Server, directory ?:\EXE\OS2V21.
o When invoking SEMAINT.EXE supplied with XR06200 or XR06300
the following rules apply to your installation procedures:
(1) FSERVICE.EXE is bounded to the CSD for the product
you are installing. Therefore, you must make sure
your installation procedures access the corresponding
version of FSERVICE in the appropriate CSD Install tree.
(2) When invoking FSERVICE.EXE for XR06200 or XR06300,
you must specify the new "/CID" parameter. This new
parameter only applies to installations that have
had SEMAINT installed. This new parameter is not
needed when the client system is booted by diskette.
(3) Installation of the XR06200 or XR06300 requires the
specification of the "/S2:<CSDpath>" during the
invocation of SEMAINT.EXE.
(4) Installation of any CSD in your procedures FOLLOWING the
installation of XR06200 or XR06300 requires that the
"/S2:<CSDpath>" parameter be specified during the
invocation of SEMAINT.EXE.
(5) Installation of any CSD in your procedures PRIOR to the
installation of XR06200 or XR06300 requires that the
"/S2:<CSDpath>" parameter be omitted during the
invocation of SEMAINT.EXE.
o If you use SEMAINT to create maintenance systems to apply
the ServicePak, statements are added to the CONFIG.SYS file
created by SEMAINT. These statements enable swapping to the
target drive and directory of the maintenance system. This
path is determined by the /T: parameter that SEMAINT uses when
it is started. Swapping is enabled only on systems with 10
megabytes of RAM or less. The initial swap file size will be set
to 1024KB or 1 meagabyte and can grow depending on the amount of
virtual memory needed during installation of the ServicePak.
This requires you to have at least 5 megabytes of free disk
space prior to creating the maintenance system created by SEMAINT.

SCSI-BASED CD-ROM SUPPORT
_________________________
The majority of SCSI-based CD-ROM drives and
adapters are supported by OS/2 2.1.
("SCSI-based" refers to the small computer
system interface (SCSI), a standard
input/output interface used by personal
computers.)
A complete list of the CD-ROM drives and SCSI
adapters tested on OS/2 2.1 can be found in the
"Hardware Support" chapter of the "OS/2 2.1
Using the Operating System" manual.
OBTAINING ADDITIONAL CD-ROM SUPPORT
If, after reviewing the list in "OS/2 2.1 Using
the Operating System", you find that your
CD-ROM drive or SCSI adapter is not supported
within the OS/2 product, you can contact the
manufacturer and obtain an OS/2 Adapter Device
Driver (.ADD) file. After you receive the .ADD
file, follow the instructions in the "Before
You Begin" section of the "OS/2 2.1
Installation Guide" to add this file to
Diskette 1.
As an alternative, you can create installation
diskettes from the diskette images that are on
the OS/2 CD, if you have DOS support for your
CD-ROM drive.
If support for your CD-ROM was not properly
installed during initial installation of OS/2
2.1, then you will need to use the Selective
Install program located in the System Setup
folder to reinstall the CD-ROM support
appropriate for your CD-ROM.
HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
_______________________
If you have a Quantum hard card, you must make
a modification to the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line
in the CONFIG.SYS file of Diskette 1 before you
install OS/2 2.1. The BASEDEV statement should
be modified as follows:
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /IRQ:11
(These are the default settings for the Quantum
hard card.)
If you have added a device driver statement to
the CONFIG.SYS file on diskette 1 and later
migrate your old CONFIG.SYS file, make sure
there are not two copies of this statement in
your file. If you have two copies of this
statement in your file, REM one statement out.
If you have a Logitech** TrackMan**, select one
of the two Logitech mouse choices during
installation.
If you are using a ThinkPad 750c, after installing
this version of the ServicePak, you might find that
your DOS full screen session is corrupted. To fix
this problem you must reinstall the video driver
from the ThinkPad audio features diskette.
If you are installing OS/2 2.11 on a micro-channel
system with an IDE disk controller on the planner
with an microchannel SCSI adapter installed as an option,
refer to the OS/2 2.11 Update booklet information about installing
OS/2 2.1 on a ThinkPad with a Docking Station.
INSTALLING OS/2 2.1 USING RIPL
______________________________
When installing OS/2 2.1 using the IBM LAN
Server 2.0 and 3.0 Remote Installation Program
Load (RIPL), the 2.1 version of RIPLINST.EXE is
dependent upon the 2.1 version of UNPACK.EXE.
Therefore, if you are using the 2.1 version of
RIPLINST.EXE on a client machine with OS/2
version 2.0 or lower, then you must copy the
UNPACK.EXE file to the client machine. To do
this, do the following:
1. Insert OS/2 2.1 Diskette 2 into drive A
2. At an OS/2 command prompt type:
copy a:\unpack.exe \os2\unpack.exe
After copying the file to the client
machine, you can now execute the 2.1
version of the RIPLINST.EXE program.
EXTENDED SERVICES (ES) 1.0
__________________________
o If you installed OS/2 2.11 on a system that
already had Extended Services installed,
replace the existing ESSTART.CMD file with
the ESSTART.BAK file that was installed by
OS/2 2.11. (The ESSTART.BAK file is located
in the OS2\INSTALL subdirectory.)
o If you are installing Extended Services
over OS/2 2.11 for the first time (that is,
there is no Extended Services on the
workstation), or if you are installing
Extended Services from diskettes, rename
the existing ESSTART.CMD file from the
Extended Services Diskette 1. Then, copy
the file ESSTART.BAK from the \OS\INSTALL
directory to Extended Services Diskette 1.
Finally, rename the ESSTART.BAK file
ESSTART.CMD, and begin the installation of
Extended Services.
VIDEO CONSIDERATIONS
____________________
The XGA DMQS (\xga$dmqs\*.dqs) files in this version of the
operating system do not have DPMS (Display Power Management
Signaling) enabled for the DPMS supported monitors. You must
use the Power Management Utility.
The following information pertains to video
support for OS/2 2.11.
INSTALLING SUPER VGA (SVGA) SUPPORT
o After the VGA installation is complete, follow
the procedure "Installing Support for Super VGA
(SVGA)" in Appendix A of the "OS/2 2.1
Installation Guide".
o Installing this version of the ServicePak does not
fully service base video on SVGA systems. To complete
updates to base video, you must open a DOS Full Screen
session and type the following:
SVGA ON
This creates a new SVGADATA.PMI file in the C:\OS2
directory. To make the changes effective, you must
shutdown and reboot your computer.
INSTALLATION ON SPECIFIC VIDEO ADAPTERS
In the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide",
instructions are given for configuring the
ATI** Graphics Ultra Pro. These instructions
state that the monitor type for 640 x 480 must
be configured to IBM DEFAULT. Note that this
setting might be referred to as 60Hz rather
than IBM DEFAULT.
The Radius XGA display adapter is supported on
PS/2* Models 35 and 40 and PS/ValuePoint* 486
systems. If you are using the display adapter
on a PS/ValuePoint system, the VPXGA.EXE
utility is required. For a copy of this
utility program, check your Radius installation
diskette or contact Radius.
The OS/2 2.11 operating system cannot restore
the state of a Sigma Legend** display adapter
after you switch sessions or video modes.
Also, the Sigma Legend video adapter might
cause the system to stop when using 1024 x 768
x 256 color mode. Use only 640 x 480 or 800 x
600 mode with this adapter.
S3 VIDEO ACCELERATOR DRIVER FOR OS/2 2.11
----------------------------------------
This video accelerator driver supports the 86C801/86C805 and 86C928 chip sets
from the S3** Corporation. These chip sets are found on many leading video
display adapters, including Actix**, Artist Graphics**, Diamond Stealth**,
Focus**, Metheus**, MiroMAGIC, Nth Graphics**, Number Nine**, Orchid**, PCG**,
Vermont**, Video 7**, Volante** and on the system boards of leading hardware
systems, such as those from the IBM* Corporation and the Dell** Computer
Corporation.
SUPPORTED FEATURES
------------------
This S3 video accelerator driver provides seamless support for accelerated
video graphics and advanced color resolutions when used with the minimum
required video memory. It conforms to the OS/2 2.11 32-bit flat memory
model and is designed to function as a 32-bit Presentation Manager* display
driver under the OS/2 2.11 32-bit graphics engine.
This video accelerator driver supports these resolutions and colors depths:
Number of Video Memory
Resolutions Colors Required
640x480 256 1MB
800x600 256 1MB
1024x768 256 1MB
1280x1024 256 2MB
640x480 65,536 1MB
800x600 65,536 1MB
1024x768 65,536 2MB
640x480 16,777,216 1MB
This S3 video accelerator driver supports the following number of
columns and rows in an OS/2 full-screen session:
Columns Rows
132 25
132 43
INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE
__________________________
This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1. Do not install it
on previous versions of OS/2. Use the SVGA install instruction to install S3
video device drivers. Refer to Appendix A in the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide."
COMPATIBILITY
---------------------------------------
IBM has tested many display adapters containing the S3 chips sets. Those
that have tested successfully are listed in this README file. However,
certain display adapters in combination with certain chip sets might not be
supported. IBM is continuing to test; therefore, support for additional
combinations is expected to be added over time.
NOTE: If you are using the 256 color mode, and your desktop
appears to be darker than other color modes, you must edit the
SVGADATA.PMI file located in the \OS2 directory.
Change the following statement from:
HI-COLOR DAC by ....
to:
HI-COLOR DAC by unknown
To make the changes effective you must reboot your system.
