Installing OS/2 2.1 ServicePak Beta Welcome to OS/2* 2.1. This document provides you with information you need before you install OS/2 2.1. It contains helpful hints found in our testing as well as updates and corrections to the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide". Use the information in conjunction with the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide" and the "OS/2 2.1 Using the Operating System" manual. ****************Important!***************** Do not install this BETA release on a PS/2 Mod 95 with 20 MB of RAM. This configuration will fail on the Install disk. If you are attempting to use CID to install client workstations, you must install the workstation using the FAT file system. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 over a product release such as OS/2 1.x, OS/2 2.0, OS/2 2.0 with the Service Pak, DOS, or DOS and Windows**, you do not need to reformat the OS/2 partition. If you choose to format the partition, your hard disk will be erased and you will have to re-install your application and pre-installed utilities. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 over an existing OS/2 2.0 system in which you have application programs on the desktop, you should not elect to migrate these applications during your installation. Your current application set will continue to be available to you after installation. If you have a version of the OS/2 2.1 beta installed, you need to reformat the OS/2 partition. Installing OS/2 2.1 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. 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 If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a non-Micro Channel (MCA) system, 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 These settings affect the way that OS/2 2.1 installs. Failure to change these settings might result in OS/2 not installing at all; installing and then booting to a Trap 2; or what seems to be a good install and later have unexplainable random Traps (from a few days to a few months later). 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. 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 2.1 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, DISK0.DSK, PMDD1.DSK.) d is the drive letter of your diskette drive (A: or B:) After you create all the diskettes (20 for 3.5-inch diskettes or 24 for 5.25-inch diskettes), insert the DISK0 diskette in drive A:, restart your system, and follow the instructions to install 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. NON SCSI-BASED CD-ROM SUPPORT FOR SONY, PANASONIC and MITSUMI _____________________________________________________________ In order for the Sony, Mitsumi and Panasonic non-SCSI CD-ROM drives to be recognized by OS/2, the base I/O port address specified on the CD-ROM's BASEDEV statement in config.sys must match the base I/O port address specified on the CD-ROM's host adapter card. NOTE: If you are installing OS/2 2.1 from CD-ROM, you may first be required to modify the BASEDEV statement for your CD-ROM device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file on the diskette labeled Diskette 1. The section below indicates the required parameter switch settings for each CD-ROM drive. The following examples illustrate how the CD-ROM drives are attached to the most common host adapters. Modifying CONFIG.SYS for the Sony CDU-31A driver (SONY31A.ADD) -------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Sony CDB-334 host adapter: The Sony CDB-334 host adapter supports base I/O port addresses of 320h, 330h, 340h or 360h. If the CDB-334 host adapter is set to its default port address of 340h, the statement in config.sys does not need to be modified and should appear as follows: BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD If the CDB-334 host adapter is set to any port address other than the default of 340h, the config.sys statement needs to be modified. For example, if the Sony CDB-334 host adapter is set to a base I/O port address of 360, the line in config.sys should be: BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360 2. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16 host adapter: The line in config.sys needs to be modified and should appear as follows: BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /AT:08 3. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster 16, or Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD host adapter: The port address specified on the BASEDEV statement in config.sys should be 10h above the base I/O port address specified on the adapter card. For example, if the Sound Blaster card is set for a base I/O port address of 220h, the line in config.sys should be: BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0230 Sony CD-ROM Device Driver Parameters --------------------------------------- The parameters for the following CD-ROM adapter device drivers are described in this section: SONY31A.ADD This device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives: Sony CDU-31A Sony CDU-7305 Parameter Definitions --------------------- /A:n Identifies a specific adapter, n. The adapter is specified as a single digit value which is zero based. (i.e. The first adapter is specified as /A:0). /AT:dd Sets the adapter type connected to the CD-ROM drive. Supported values are: 00 = Sony CDB-334 (default) 08 = Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16 /P:nnnn Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card. This must be the same number as specified on the interface card. If this parameter is not specified, the default port address for the host adapter is used. For the Sony CDB-334 host adapter, the default is 0340. For the Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16 card the default is 1F88. /I:nn Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number. This must match the IRQ value selected on the host interface card. If this parameter is not specified, the device driver will use software polling transfer. Note: Some Sony host adapter cards did not ship with the plastic jumper switch to select the IRQ channel on the IRQ jumper block. You must obtain and install the plastic jumper switch to enable the IRQ channel. /V Verbose. The device driver will display the device driver revision level and CD-ROM product identification information at boot time. Parameter Examples ------------------ 1. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Sony CDB-334 host adapter: The Sony CDB-334 host adapter supports base I/O port addresses of 320h, 330h, 340h or 360h. If the CDB-334 host adapter is set to any port address other than the default of 340h, the config.sys statement needs to be modified. For example, if the Sony CDB-334 host adapter is set to a base I/O port address of 360, the line in config.sys should be: BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360 2.

Insert a DOS diskette in A: and reboot 2. Edit the config.sys on the OS/2 boot partition and comment out the following lines in config.sys: a. If you are installing from the Creative Labs, Panasonic or IBM ISA non-SCSI CD-ROM drives, then comment out the following lines REM BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD REM BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD b. If you are installing from the Sony 31A CD-ROM drive then comment out the following lines: REM BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD REM BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD c. If you are installing from the Mitsumi CD-ROM drive then comment out the following lines: REM BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD REM BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD d. If you are installing from any other CD-ROM drive or from diskettes then comment out the following lines: REM BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD REM BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD REM BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD 3. Remove the DOS diskette from A: and reboot. Continue with OS/2 installation. 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. INSTALLING OS/2 2.1 FROM A CD ON AN IBM THINKPAD ATTACHED TO A DOCKING STATION ______________________________________________________________________________ If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on an IBM* ThinkPad* 700, 700C, 720, or 720C attached to a 3550 Docking Station, you need to replace the ABIOS files on the OS/2 Installation Diskette with files from the Reference Diskette. Do the following: 1. Detach the ThinkPad from the Docking Station. 2. Create a Reference Diskette (if you have not already done so) by following the documentation that came with the ThinkPad. 3. Make a copy of the OS/2 Installation Diskette. 4. Insert the original OS/2 Installation Diskette into drive A. 5. Turn on the computer. If it is already on, press Ctrl+Alt+Del. 6. When you are prompted to do so, remove the Installation Diskette, insert Diskette 1, and press Enter. 7. When the Welcome screen is displayed, press Esc to display the command prompt. 8. Insert the copy of the Installation Diskette into drive A. 9. Type: DEL *.BIO and press Enter. 10. Remove the copy of the Installation Diskette, and insert the Reference Diskette you created in step 2 into drive A. 11. If your computer has more than one diskette drive, insert the copy of the Installation Diskette into drive B. Otherwise, in the next two steps, you will be prompted to insert diskettes into both drive A and drive B. When you are asked to insert a diskette into drive A, insert the Reference Diskette. When you are asked to insert a diskette into drive B, insert the copy of the Installation Diskette. 12. Type: COPY A:\*.BIO B:\ and press Enter. 13. Type: COPY A:\ABIOS.SYS B:\ and press Enter. 14. Power off the ThinkPad and return it to the Docking Station. 15. Restart the installation procedure by inserting the copy of the Installation Diskette into drive A. 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 2.1 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 2.1. (The ESSTART.BAK file is located in the OS2\INSTALL subdirectory.) o If you are installing Extended Services over OS/2 2.1 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 following information pertains to video support for OS/2 2.1. INSTALLING SUPER VGA (SVGA) SUPPORT 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". 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 2.1 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.

INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTE -------------------------- This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1. Do not install it on previous versions of OS/2. To install this S3 video accelerator driver from diskette: 1. Place this diskette into drive A (or any other diskette drive). 2. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 3. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command: A:S3INST A: C: where: A: is the diskette drive C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed This command will copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive. 4. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive, perform a shutdown, and then restart the system. 5. Open the "OS/2 System" folder. 6. Open the "System Setup" folder. 7. Open the "Display Driver Install" (DSPINSTL) object. When the Display Driver Install window appears, "S3" should be the default choice. Select "OK". When the Monitor Configuration/Selection Utility window appears, the "Install Using Defaults for Monitor Type" option is preselected. You can accept this option or select the "Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program" option. NOTE: If you select the Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program option, follow the instructions on your screen. For additional information about this option, you can refer to pages 114 and 115 in the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide". 8. When the source directory pop-up window appears, insert the S3 Video Accelerator Driver diskette and select Install. DSPINSTL determines the hardware configuration by creating the SVGADATA.PMI file on the drive where the OS2 directory is located. If the SVGADATA.PMI file has not been created, the adapter will not be supported. 9. When the installation is complete, do the following: a. Open "OS/2 System". b. Open "System Setup". c. Open the "System" object. The Screen page of the Settings notebook lists all the supported resolutions for your configuration. d. Select a resolution; then, close the notebook. 10. Perform a shutdown; then, restart the system. Note that during the installation of this driver a DISPLAY.LOG file is created in the OS2\INSTALL directory. This file identifies the OS/2 2.1 system files that were updated and indicates whether the installation was successful. The contents of this file might be useful if you need to report an installation problem to IBM. COMPATIBILITY --------------------------------------- This video accelerator driver is compatible with OS/2 2.1. Do not install it on previous versions of OS/2. 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.

However, in 64K-color modes, users of the feature will experience unusual results. An OS/2 2.1 pervasive fix package will be available electronically. The software motion video feature is not supported in 16 million color modes. In addition, the software motion video feature will take advantage of a 1MB aperture on video adapters and systems where it is available to improve the performance of video playback in 64K-color modes. For those systems with nonstandard locations, the actual physical address of the aperture must be provided in the following CONFIG.SYS statement: SET VIDEO_APERTURE=xxxh where "xxx" is a hexadecimal value in units of 1MB, representing the actual physical address to map to the aperture. For example, the IBM PS/ValuePoint Systems must have the statement: SET VIDEO_APERTURE=400h to use a physical address at 1GB. INSTALLATION IN A CID ENVIRONMENT ---------------------------------- NOTES: 1. The server must contain a directory named S3_DRVS on the same drive where the OS/2 2.1 diskettes reside. The S3_DRVS directory must contain all of the files from the S3 Video Accelerator Driver diskette. 2. OS/2 2.1 must have been successfully installed on the client using the CID Method. To install the S3 video accelerator driver using CID, use the following information to modify your LCU command file. NOTE: The following information is meant as a guide, your LCU command file might be different. /*****************************************************/ /* LCU PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . x.s3video = 15 x.15.name='S3 Video' x.15.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.15.name x.15.instprog = 'x:\img\s3_drvs\S3INST.CMD', ' x:\img\s3_drvs ' || bootdrive || ' /cid' x.15.rspdir = '' x.15.default = '' x.s3dspinstl = 16 x.16.name='S3 CID Dspinstl' x.16.statevar = 'CAS_' || x.16.name x.16.instprog = bootdrive || '\os2\install\DSPINSTL.EXE', ' /pk:SVGA', ' /sk:NONE', ' /s:x:\s3_drvs', ' /t:' || bootdrive, ' /mc:8' x.16.rspdir = '' x.16.default = '' /*---------------------------------------------------*/ /* NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SET UP IN THE */ /* PRODUCT DATA SECTION */ /*---------------------------------------------------*/ NUM_INSTALL_PROGS = 16 /*****************************************************/ /* INSTALLATION SECTION */ /*****************************************************/ . . . when OVERALL_STATE = 2 then do if RunInstall(x.s3video) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end when OVERALL_STATE = 3 then do if RunInstall(x.s3dspinstl) == BAD_RC then exit Call CheckBoot end . . . end exit /*****************************************************/ END OF LCU INFORMATION TO BE ADDED /*****************************************************/ Following is an explanation of the line that is executed in the LCU command file: C:\OS2\INSTALL\DSPINSTL /PK:SVGA /SK:NONE /S:X:\ /T:C: /MC:8 /PK:SVGA where SVGA is the primary adapter key /SK:NONE where NONE is the secondary adapter key /S:X:\ where X:\ is the redirected source path /T:C: where C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed /MC:8 is the manufacturing code that distinguishes S3.
