OSINTPRI - UNKNOWN/UNRECOGNIZED PARAMETER MESSAGE DURING REMOTE INSTALL
OF PCMCIA SYSTEM
10/03/96
=======================================================================
Unknown/Unrecognized Parameter Message during Remote Install of PCMCIA
System
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When performing a remote install using the SEDISK /P:n (where n is the
number of the line in PCMCIA.TBL which corresponds to the users system
type) on a laptop with a PCMCIA network adapter, in some cases, the
user may see a message scroll past:
Unknown/Unrecognized Parameter in CONFIG.SYS
The installation continues without pausing.
This message is caused by an additional parameter in the BASEDEV
statements in the CONFIG.SYS file for the PCMCIA drivers.
RESOLUTION
The problem is resolved by removing the /s0=2 parameter from the second
BASEDEV statement (not counting the PCMCIA.SYS statement).
To resolve this error:
1. Insert the OS/2 Warp 4 Installation Diskette in drive A:
and restart the system. Insert Diskettes 1 and 2 when prompted.
2. Press F3 from the Welcome screen to exit to a command prompt.
3. Be sure Diskette 1 is in the drive and type TEDIT A:CONFIG.SYS from
the command prompt.
4. Press Esc, then look for the BASEDEV= statements for the PCMCIA
drivers. To determine which drivers these are, refer back to the
PCMCIA.TBL file and locate your system in the file. The drivers will
be listed in that entry. The following example is for a ThinkPad
entry in the PCMCIA.TBL file:
IBM ThinkPad
760ED;NULL;IBM2SS04.SYS/IBM2SS14.SYS;/s0=2;NULL;ultrabay0;dockmgr;
This translates to the following BASEDEV statements in the
CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=IBM2SS04.SYS /s0=2
BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS /s0=2
(These statements usually follow the BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS statement.)
5. Remove the /s0=2 parameter from the second BASEDEV statement, in
this example, from the BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS /s0=2.
