OSINVECT - OS/2 WARP 3.0 INSTALLATION FAILS ON HP VECTRA XU
02/06/96
=======================================================================
OS/2 Warp 3.0 Installation Fails on HP Vectra XU
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
During installation, the system locks up at Diskette 1, with both
SCSI-drive and diskette-drive lights on. The problem occurs on systems
that come with the 1 GB HP SCSI drive. The installation process expects
either an IBM SCSI or IDE drive.
HP Vectra XU 5/90C comes with pre-installed Windows for Workgroups,
MS DOS, LAN drivers, and more.
RESOLUTION
Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.
1. Do a DISKCOPY of Diskette 1.
2. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on Diskette 1 and add:
BASEDEV=AMSIO2.ADD
The AMSIO2.ADD file is in a pre-installed directory, or can be taken
from the Master diskette, SCSI Drv A.01.01, dated 6/30/94.
Use HP Utilities to create all Master diskettes.
On the Master diskette, change to the \OS2 subdirectory. The
subdirectory has the README.TXT file along with AMSIO2.ADD. The README
file states:
AMD PCSCSI PCI OS/2 Adapter Device Driver Version 1.00,
(C) Copyright 1992-1994 by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and
Sequoia Advanced Technologies, Inc. - All Rights Reserved.
Filename: AMSIO2.ADD
Date: June 2, 1994
Filesize: 21,894 Bytes
Installing OS/2 from CD-ROM or from Diskettes
---------------------------------------------
Note: This installation is done after re-partitioning the SCSI drive,
which erases all pre-installed software. Make sure to back up the
pre-installed code.
1. Copy AMSIO2.ADD to the COPY of Diskette 1.
2. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add BASEDEV=AMSIO2.ADD.
3. Save and exit the file.
4. Insert the Installation Diskette and restart the system.
5. When prompted, remove the Installation Diskette and insert the
modified Diskette 1. This gets past the problem described in the
symptoms.
6. Continue the installation through Diskette 6.
7. Insert the Installation Diskette.
8. When the files are copied from the Installation Diskette, insert the
original Diskette 1.
The Installation program copies IBM2SCSI.ADD, which you removed from
the duplicate Diskette 1, to make room for the AMSIO2.ADD file. If
the Installation program cannot find it, you cannot continue with
installation. Contact the vendor for assistance in getting the
driver.
