- INSTALLATION PROBLEMS WITH DISKETTE 1, 2.x, WARP
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- HANGING ON DISK 1 DURING INSTALLATION OF OS/2
-
- HINTS: 1. Disable your system's Turbo, Cache, and Shadow RAM.
- Disable asynchronous memory refresh, if you have it.
- (Packard Bell's need not disable features)
- Enable features when installation is completed.
- 2. Check the BIOS date: If you have DOS 4.0 or higher,
- on your system do the following:
- TYPE: C: DEBUG and press Enter
- (a minus sign appears while using DEBUG)
- TYPE: d f000:.fff0 and press Enter
- TYPE: d f000:.ffd0 and press Enter
- Three lines appear. Look at the end of the middle
- line and you see:
- 7//0011//9933 - this is a date of 7/11/93.
- TYPE: q and press Enter (to quit)
- Generally speaking:
- AMI BIOS date should be 5/91
- Phoenix &. Award Bios date should be 5/92
- It is recommended to update your BIOS if the dates are earlier
- than the above dates.
-
- For WARP, Chapter 14, Solving Installation Problems
- Make sure IRQ settings do not conflict with the hard disk
- controllers IRQ settings. If multiple hard disk controllers
- or hardcards are installed in the system, it may be necessary
- to remove one of them.
-
- The following apply to machine specific problems:
- - If you are installing on a system with an Allways IN2000
- SCSI adapter, and an IPE or FDISK error appears during the
- installation of Diskette 1. Upgrade your system to the
- current BIOS level of VCN:.1-02. The Allways IN2000 SCSI
- adapter may require an EPROM upgrade to operate with OS/2.
- You may find you have problems when trying to install over
- DOS partitions. To correct these problems, install the
- EPROM and reformat the hard disk.
- - If you are installing OS/2 on a Mylex system, a TRAP0008
- error occurs during the installation of Diskette 1.
- Contact the vendor for more information.
- - If you are installing on a Compaq 386/33L Deskpro and a
- TRAP000D error occurs during the installation of Diskette 1.
- To correct this problem, do the following:
- 1. Make a copy of Diskette 1. You modify the copy.
- 2. Use a text editor to modify the CONFIG.SYS on Diskette 1.
- 3. Delete the following statement from CONFIG.SYS, type:
- DEL BASEDEV=IBM2SCSI.ADD and press Enter
- 4. Use the copy of the diskette during the installation
- instead of the original.
-
- FOR OS/2 2.X, WARP:
- You have redirected your drives for installing OS/2 and receive
- the COUNTRY.SYS on diskette 1.
-
- To redirect drives from B: to A: You can change the CMOS
- or BIOS setup and switch cables on the diskette drives.
-
- For COUNTRY.SYS error message on Diskette 1 while redirecting:
- Check cables to verify if there are correctly switched.
- Check the CMOS for necessary changes for switching drives.
-
- If problems or questions occur while doing this, contact the
- vendor of the system.
-
- ================================================================
- HANG ON DISK 1 WHILE INSTALLING OS/2 2.X, WARP ON A SYSTEM WITH
- A QUANTUM HARD CARD
- ================================================================
-
- SYMPTOMS:
- When installing OS/2 on a system with a Quantum Hard
- Card, the installation process hangs on diskette 1.
-
- RESOLUTION:
- 1. Modify the CONFIG.SYS on diskette 1 of the OS/2 Installation
- Diskettes. Add default settings for the Quantum Hard Card.
- Change the line: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line.
- To read: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:.1 /IRQ:.11
-
- PROCEDURES:
- 1. Make a Backup copy of diskette 1 and use the copy for the
- following steps.
- 2. Start the system with DOS or a DOS bootable diskette.
- 3. Insert the copy of diskette 1 in Drive A:
- 4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS on the copy of diskette 1.
- 5. Locate the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line.
- 6. Add /A:.1 /IRQ:.11 to the end of the line.
- 7. The edited line should now look like
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:.1 /IRQ:.11
- 8. Save the changes and remove the diskette from Drive A:
- 9. Begin installation of OS/2 using the copy of diskette 1
- when asked to insert diskette 1.

- ================================================================
- INSTALLING OS/2 WARP ON AN IBM PS/2 WITH ABIOS
- ================================================================
-
- As part of the setup of your computer, you may need to create a
- Reference Diskette, sometimes called a Hardware System Program
- Diskette. The Reference Diskette contains BIOS information,
- which is code about how your diskette drives, hard drives, and
- keyboard interact. OS/2 WARP Installation program may prompt you
- to insert this diskette.
-
- If you have not created the Reference Diskette, do so before you
- begin the installation of OS/2 WARP. Refer to your PS/2
- documentation for instructions on creating the diskette.
-
-
-
- ================================================================
- INSTALLING OS/2 WARP ON A PS/2 MODEL 76 OR IBM THINKPAD WITH A
- DOCKING STATION
- ================================================================
-
- If you are installing OS/2 WARP on one of the following:
- IBM PS/2 Model 76
- 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 Reference Diskette, as listed below:
-
- 1. If you are using a ThinkPad, detach it from the Docking
- Station.
- 2. Create a Reference Diskette by following the documentation
- that came with your computer.
- 3. Make a copy of the Installation Diskette, type:
- DISKCOPY A:. A: and press Enter
- Remove and insert diskettes when prompted to do so.
- 4. Remove the copy from drive A: and insert the original
- Installation Diskette.
- 5. Turn your computer on. If your computer is already on, press
- Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart it.
- 6. When you are prompted; remove the Installation Diskette,
- insert Diskette 1, and press Enter.
- 7. When the Welcome screen appears, press F# to display the
- command prompt.
- 8. Insert the copy of the Installation Diskette into drive A:.
- 9. Type:
- A:.\DEL *.BIO and press Enter
- 10. Remove the copy of the Installation Diskette and insert the
- Reference Diskette you created into the drive A:.
- 11. If your computer has more than one diskette drive, insert the
- copy of the Installation Diskette into drive B:.. In the next
- two steps, you are prompted to insert diskettes into both
- drive A: and drive B:
-
- If your computer has only one diskette drive, when you are
- asked to insert a diskette into drive A:., insert the
- Reference Diskette into your diskette drive. When you are
- asked to insert a diskette into drive B:., insert the copy of
- the Installation Diskette into your diskette drive.
- 12. Type:
- COPY A:.\*.BIO B:.\ and press Enter
- 13. Type:
- COPY A:.\ABIOS.SYS B:.\ and press Enter
- 14. Remove the diskettes and turn off your computer. If you are
- using a ThinkPad, return it to the Docking Station.

- IPE AT 0F00:.76A1 ON DISK 1 OF OS/2 2.0 INSTALL ON
- ROM LOADABLE MACHINES
- ================================================================
- SYMPTOMS:
- 1. When trying to install OS/2 2.0 GA the installation program
- hangs on Install diskette 1 with an
- Internal Processing Error at ## 0F00 : 76A1
- 60000, 6000
- Internal Revision 6.307
- 2. When trying to install OS/2 2.1 GA the installation program
- hangs on Installation diskette 1 with an (Only Thinkpad 700C
- installing from CD-ROM attached to Docking Station.)
- Internal Processing Error at ## 0F00 : 7275
- 60000, 6000
- Internal Revision 6.427
- This error could be the same for machines that are currently
- running:
- A. OS/2 2.0's Preload code
- B. OS/2 2.0's 10/92 Service Pak I
- C. OS/2 2.1 but are missing the necessary ABIOS files;
- NOTE: Also, it is NOT recommended to install OS/2 2.1
- on top of any beta version of OS/2 2.1.
- 3. Occurs on ROM loadable machine such as an IBM Model 9556/9557
-
- RESOLUTION:
- Copy the .BIO file from the Reference Diskette onto copies of
- the Installation diskette and diskette 1. Update the
- ABIOS.SYS files on these diskettes and use the copies for
- the installation. This is the ABIOS work around.
-
- PROCEDURE:
- 1. Using DISKCOPY command make backup diskettes for OS/2 2.X
- Installation diskette and diskette 1.
- NOTE: It is very important these backups are used for rest
- of the procedure.
- 2. Locate a file xxxx.BIO on the reference diskette of your PS/2
- or PS/VALUEPOINT. (If you don't have the reference diskette,
- follow instructions that came with machine to create one).
- 3. Copy the xxxx.BIO to INSTALL and DISK_1 diskettes.
- 4. Edit the ABIOS.SYS file on the INSTALL diskette. Add the
- xxxx.BIO to the FIRST LINE of the file. Use the same
- format as the other lines in this file.
- 5. Copy this modified ABIOS.SYS to the DISK_1.
-
- Using these two modified diskettes the installation
- continues beyond Diskette 1. Procedure is the same for
- OS/2 2.0 and OS/2 2.1.
