SYS0045+SYS0049 Errors on ABIOS Machines 4/29/94
TITLE: APAR: PJ13228 SYS0049 & SYS0045 Errors on RAM
Loadable ABIOS Machines
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
Ram loadable ABIOS machines that are receiving a sys0049 or
sys0045 after FDISKing and installing using the OS/2 2.1
installation diskettes.
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
The following Instructions only apply to IBM machines that
have RAM Loadable BIOS. This includes all 95XX series
machines as well as the 700, and 720 series machines. This
Fix only applies IF you FDISKed the drive using the 2.1 GA
install diskette set. If you do not fit the above criteria
please have your hardware serviced.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
Please follow these instructions:
1. Get the Service Pack for 2.1 (MR1).
2. Back up the IML partition off the machine having the SYS
error.
3. Make a copy of DISKETTE 1 of the install 2.1 set.
4. Take Diskette #2 of the 2.1 service pack and copy
IBM2M57.ADD to the backup copy of Diskette 1.
5. Back UP ALL OF YOUR DATA on all of the drives that were
initially FDISKed with the 2.1 install set as by doing this
procedure you will loose ALL data on these drives.
6. Reboot the machine with the reference diskette.
7. Low level format the drive(s) (the instructions are
contained in the hardware reference manual that came with
your machine). At this point the data has been destroyed.
8. Restore the IML partition on the machine (see your
hardware manual if you have any questions on how to do
this).
9. Shut down the machine and reboot using the 2.1 install
diskette; when prompted for diskette 1 place the backup
disk in the drive and repartition the DISK(s) using FDISK.
10. Reformat the drive and reinstall the system.
11. Restore the Data and you are finished.
NOTE : THIS fix only applies to machines that are 95xx or
700,720 series machines. This Fix also only applies to
machines that were partitioned using the 2.1 GA install
set. If you do not fit either of these categories have
your hardware serviced. Additionally if the problem
persists after you do this procedure you need to have your
hardware serviced.
