- 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.
