- PROBLEM: A customer would get the message "Invalid process id passed
- by interrupt procedure to kernel" every time they went into
- installation from NETGEN. This was with ELS II v2.12. They
- tried Advanced NetWare v2.15 and got the same error.
-
- SOLUTION: They had an Everex Step 386 which comes with a Viewpoint VGA
- board installed. This board has an autosensing capability
- that allows it to determine whether it's in an 8 or 16 bit
- slot. These are jumpers 7 and 8 on the board. They had it
- set to a 16 bit slot mode. They had to set it to 8 bit and
- put it in an 8 bit slot and the drive installed fine after
- that.
-
- They also reported problems with these machines when used as
- workstations. The characters on the screen would gradually
- disappear until the screen went entirely blank. They would
- do a clear screen (CLS) and all the characters would
- re-appear. By disabling the autosensing, the problem was
- solved.
