b.1.1 CD-ROM adapter card
Before starting the installation, you must make a note of your
hardware setting for your Sound Card and CD-ROM drive, I/O
base address, Interrupt and DMA channels. To check this,
refer to the manufacturers' documentation.
b.1.2 Type of sound card
Please make a note of the type of sound card used in your
computer, I/O base address, Interrupt and DMA channels.
To check this, refer to the manufacturers' documentation.
If you have installed Windows, check that it works correctly.
b.2 Software
OS/2 Warp can be installed over the following
products:
OS/2 2.1 Special Edition for Windows
DOS version 3.3 or higher
OS/2 version 1.3
Microsoft** Windows** version 3.1 or 3.11
Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 or 3.11
(LAN connectivity not supported)
OS/2 Warp cannot be installed over OS/2
2.0, OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 2.11
If you have an IBM Aptiva PC, or an IBM 300, refer to the
relevant sections.
b.3 DOS and Windows diskettes
If you want to run Windows applications under OS/2, this step
is MANDATORY. If you do not want to run Windows applications
under OS/2 refer to the section 'Installing OS/2 Warp without
Windows".
If Windows is already installed on your machine, you must
have the Windows diskettes or CD-ROM when you are installing.
If your system was preloaded with Windows, refer to the
manufacturers' documentation for how to create Windows
installation diskettes.
You should either:
Have the Windows diskettes before beginning to install
OS/2 Warp.
Have your Windows CD-ROM before beginning to install
OS/2 Warp.
Have all these diskettes recopied or existing in a
directory on your hard disk.
The the unlikely event of a serious problem with the installation
or removal of OS/2 Warp, you may require a diskette containing
DOS that you can boot if necessary. This DOS diskette should
at the same release level as that installed on your PC, and
should include the file SYS.COM. If you have a set of DOS
installation diskettes, then the first of these will suffice;
if not, you can create one by formatting a diskette with the
DOS command:
FORMAT a: /s
You should then copy onto this diskette the file SYS.COM, which
should be in the DOS directory on your hard disk.
b.4 Disk compression
Check that your hard disk is not compressed with a utility
such as DoubleSpace, AddStore or Stacker. If you are
using Stacker for DOS, be aware that there is a version
of Stacker for OS/2.
Important: You cannot install OS/2 on to a compressed hard
disk. If your compression utility is not compatible with
Stacker for OS/2, you will not be able to read from compressed
partitions. If you have room on your disks, decompress your
partitions and check that you have room on your disk to
install OS/2.
c. Preparing for Installation
_____________________________
A unique command allows you to generate the two diskettes
needed for installation.
Have ready two blank formatted diskettes. They will be
names INSTALLATION DISKETTE and DISKETTE 1. From the CD-ROM
drive where you have inserted the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM,
enter the command CDINST. This will create the two
diskettes.
The procedure to follow, then, is:
a) Format 2 3.5 inch 1.44 Mb diskettes with no error.
b) Insert the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM in the drive.
c) On the command line, enter:
drive: then press Enter
where "drive" is the drive letter of your
CD-ROM drive.
CDINST then press Enter
Example : E: Enter
CDINST Enter
d) The procedure CDINST prompts you to insert DISKETTE 1.
e) You should then insert the second diskette, named
INSTALLATION DISKETTE. Follow the instructions on the
screen.
d. Installing OS/2 Warp
_______________________
You are now ready to install OS/2 Warp.
Follow the instructions below:
a) With the Installation diskette in drive A:.
b) Ensure that your OS/2 Warp CD-ROM is in the drive.

Easy Installation uses default parameters defined by your
hardware setup. It is recommended to use this option,
which is suitable in most cases.
Advanced installation allows you to personalise the
system, but it is recommended that you have previous
experience of OS/2 environments. This installation
allows you, for example, to install OS/2 Warp on a
different drive from DOS and Windows or to use
the HPFS file system instead of FAT.
After several minutes during which time files are copied to your
hard disk the system configuration screen will appear. You should
then check the hardware that you use on the system configuration
screen.
Click on the icon located to the left of the Primary Display
screen. Check that the default option selected matches your
machine. Validate your choice by clicking on OK.
If your machine contains a sound card, click on the icon
located to the left of Multimedia Support. Check that the

If the Utility Selection/Monitor Configuration appears,
select the option Monitor Supported by OS/2 and click on OK
to validate the monitor selection.
When a message asks you to insert your Windows diskettes or
CD-ROM, follow the instructions below:
If you installed Windows from diskettes,
insert the Windows diskettes as requested and press Enter.
If you installed Windows from a CD-ROM, remove the OS/2
Warp CD from the CD-ROM drive and insert the
Windows CD-ROM. Then press Enter.
When a screen appears indicating the configuration and
installation of OS/2 are completed, click on OK to shut down
the system.
To restart your computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
When your computer restarts, the OS/2 Tutorial will appear
on your screen. It is recommended that you take the time to
go through the Tutorial before you use the system.
d.0.1 Installation Problems
Required device driver not found:
If the device driver required for installing OS/2 cannot be
found on the installation diskettes, you can obtain them
from the manufacturer or from an electronic bulletin board,
as follows:
1- Make a backup copy of Diskette 1.
2- If you are installing OS/2 from 5.25 inch diskettes,
erase the file BUNDLE from the backup copy of diskette 1.
This will free up space on the diskette for the
device driver file.
3- Copy the device driver file required (.ADD) on to
backup copy of diskette 1.
4- Edit the file CONFIG.SYS on the backup copy
of Diskette 1 and modify the instruction
BASEDEV= to include the name and the suffix
of the new device driver file.
For example : BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
5- Save the file and use the backup copy of diskette
1 to install OS/2.
IDE Promise Caching Controller:
To install OS/2 on a computer which has an IDE Promise caching
controller, you must edit the CONFIG.SYS file on diskette 1 and
change the line:
BASEDEV=IBM1S506
to :
BASEDEV=IBM1S506 /!SMS
Problems installing from CD-ROM:
- CD-ROM Philips CM 205
If you have a Philips CD 205 CD-ROM and it does not
work under OS/2, edit the CONFIG.SYS file and modify the lines
from LMS205.ADD to LMS206.ADD.
If your CD-ROM drive does not work correctly (does not respond
or generates errors when it tries to read an optical disk):
1- Open the OS/2 folder.
2- Open Command Prompts.
3- Open an OS/2 window.
4- Insert Diskette 1 supplied with the CD-ROM drive
into drive A (this diskette contains the CD-ROM

COPY A:*.DMD C:\OS2\
where * represents the real name of the file.
6- Edit the C:\CONFIG.SYS file and press Enter
(C corresponds to the drive where OS/2 is installed).
7- Add the following instructions to the CONFIG.SYS file
(as necessary) :
DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD
BASEDEV=*.ADD
where * represents the real name of the file .ADD on
the device driver diskette.
8- If the following instruction appears in the CONFIG.SYS
file, change:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /Q /N:4
to :
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /Q /N:4
9- Shut down the system.
d.0.2 Installing OS/2 on a computer with 4Mb memory
If you install OS/2 on some computers with 4Mb of live memory,
you might not be able to format the installation partition.
If a disk formatting error message appears, stop the

Diskette 1 in drive A.
b- Turn on the computer. If it is already on, press
Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart it.
c- When the main DOS screen appears, press F3 to open
a session.
d- Use the command FORMAT for DOS to format the partition
where you want to install OS/2. For more details on
the FORMAT command, refer to the DOS documentation.
e- Begin installing OS/2 again. If the program asks you
to format the installation partition, select the option
'Do not format the partition'.
d.0.3 Installing on a drive other than C
If you are using the Advanced Installation option to install
OS/2 Warp Version 3 on a drive other than C and if no
other version of OS/2 is already installed on your computer,
deselect the option relating to moving configuration files
(if it is available) when the Advanced Options window appears.
d.0.4 THINKPAD with docking station and PS/2 76
If you want to install OS/2 on a PS/2* IBM model 76 or
on an IBM ThinkPad connected to a docking station, you should
follow the instructions in the OS/2 Warp User's Guide

g. Installing OS/2 Warp without Windows
_______________________________________
You can install OS/2 Warp without Windows. Apart from OS/2
Warp, you will benefit from all the functions of DOS under
OS/2.
If you want to install Windows afterwards, in order to use
Windows applications under OS/2, you should follow the
following steps:
1. If you are in OS/2, you can reboot your machine to DOS.
To do this, type the following command:
[drive:]\OS2\BOOT /DOS
where "drive" is the disk where you have installed OS/2
2. Install Windows from DOS and check that it is correctly
installed.
3. Add audio support for Windows if necessary.
Keep a note of any information relating to your sound card
(address, interrupts, DMA, etc.). OS/2
Warp might ask you for it in certain cases.
4. If you are in DOS, you can reboot your system into OS/2
Warp. To do this, type the command:
[drive:]\OS2\BOOT /OS2
where "drive" is the disk where you have installed DOS
5. When OS/2 Warp is restarted, proceed to a 'Selective Install'
The Selective Install
icon is in the System Configuration folder.
Check the information relating to Multimedia Support
on the Main screen. Start the installation by
clicking on OK. On the following screen, select
Win-OS/2 Support and begin the installation.
h. Starting the machine in DOS or in OS/2 Warp
______________________________________________
On a hard disk which has both DOS and OS/2 installed, the
following allows either of the two operating systems to
be started:
/OS2 prepares the system to start OS/2 from drive C.
To start OS/2 :
1. Enter \OS2\BOOT /OS2.
2. Reply to the prompt.
/DOS prepares the system to start DOS from drive C.
To start DOS :
1. Enter BOOT /DOS.
2. Reply to the prompt.
The command BOOT can be entered under either OS/2 or DOS.
It is however only available under the following conditions:
DOS Version 3.2O or higher must have been installed and
started on drive C before OS/2 was installed.
To gain better compatibility with OS/2, it is preferable
to use DOS versions 3.30, 4.00 or 5.00.
Drive C must not have been reformatted after OS/2 was
installed.
The HPFS file system must not be present on drive C.
Before entering the command BOOT, make sure that all system
operations are ended and that all programs are terminated.
BOOT checks that the following files exist:
OS/2 files
OS2LDR (hidden file)
OS2KRNL (hidden file)
OS2\SYSTEM\BOOT.OS2
OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.OS2
DOS files
IBMDOS.COM or MSDOS.SYS (hidden files)
IBMBIO.COM or IO.SYS (hidden files)
OS2\SYSTEM\BOOT.DOS
OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.DOS
When you use the BOOT command to replace OS/2 by DOS,
the system setup information is renamed and saved as follows:
1. Saves the OS/2 boot record as
C:\OS2\SYSTEM\BOOT.OS2.
2. Moves the OS/2 AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
C:\OS2\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.OS2.
3. Moves the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file to
C:\OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.OS2.
4. Copies C:\OS2\SYSTEM\BOOT.DOS to the DOS boot record.
5. Moves the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT file from
C:\OS2\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.DOS into the root directory as
BOOT moves the OS/2 AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
6. Moves the DOS CONFIG.SYS file from
C:\OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.DOS into the root directory as
BOOT moves the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.
When you move from DOS to OS/2, BOOT reverses the process.
Return Codes: BOOT displays either a return code of 0 for
normal completion or the appropriate error message.
Example:
To start OS/2 from DOS, enter:
C:\OS2\BOOT /OS2
then reply to the prompt.
To start DOS from OS/2, enter:
BOOT /DOS
then reply to the prompt.
SYS1714: Warning! Make sure all your programs
have completed or data will be lost when the system
is restarted.
You requested to start DOS from drive C:
Your system will be reset. Do you want to continue? (Y/N)
To create a simple batch file named OS2.BAT to use in DOS
(Version 3.2 and later) that will change the operating
system to OS/2, type the following in your OS2.BAT batch file:
C:\OS2\BOOT /OS2
To create batch files named DOS.BAT and DOS.CMD to use in
OS/2 that will change the operating system to your present level
of DOS (Version 3.2 and later), type the following in your
DOS.BAT or DOS.CMD batch file:
C:\OS2\BOOT /DOS
Note: To take effect, the preceding batch files must reside
within an active subdirectory in the current path statement.
i. IBM APTIVA and IBM PC 300
____________________________
If you have an IBM APTIVA or IBM PC300 (486 processor) machine,
you must disable the Read Prefetch parameter in the machine's
BIOS to be able to use OS/2 Warp. To do this, proceed as
follows:
1) If you have an IBM APTIVA model 310 (2144-22P) to
530 (2144-66P)
a Turn the machine on.

In the previous OS/2 installation section, you made a note
of the information relating to sound cards or CD-ROM in your
computer. In particular, you should have made a note of the
I/O address of your CD-ROM interface. You will have to
add this address to the relevant device driver in the
CONFIG.SYS file.
You will have a different CD-ROM driver. In the CONFIG.SYS
file on diskette 1, you will find the lines:
basedev=sony535.add
basedev=sony31a.add
basedev=lms206.add
basedev=mitfx001.add
basedev=sbcd2.add
On the relevant line, add the I/O port address as follows:
basedev=yyyyy.add /P:xxx
where yyyyy is the name of the driver
where xxx is the port address in hexadecimal.
j.0.6 Other CD-ROMs
If your CD-ROM is not recognised by OS/2 Warp, check with
your dealer if the OS/2 drivers are available.
For example, you will find below the procedure for installing
drivers for the Trantor/Adaptec SCSI parallel cable.
A diskette is supplied by the manufacturer on which the OS/2
driver T348SCSI.ADD can be found. The procedure is as follows:
1) Copy T348SCI.ADD on to the OS/2 Diskette 1.
2) Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the OS/2 Diskette 1.
Add the following line to the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=T348SCSI.ADD
When the CONFIG.SYS file is edited, you can begin the normal
installation procedure again. If your CD-ROM is still not
recognised, contact your dealer or OS/2 Service on
(1) 41 85 82 20.
Important note: This change must be made again on the hard
disk after OS/2 is installed.
If you use the OS/2 text editor TEDIT, please refer to the
relevant section.

Detection for this device is in the IBM1S506.ADD device driver.
The detection is automatic through the Enhanced IDE controller.
BASEDEV = IBMIDECD.FLT [/V] [/I:nn]
/V Specifies the verbose mode. This parameter displays the
device driver revision level.
/I:nn Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ), channel number.
nn is the interrupt number. This value must match the
IRQ value on the host interface card. To enable interrupt
transfer mode, which improves performance, this parameter must
be specified.
Note: Some Sony host adapter cards are not provided with the
plastic jumper switch that selects the IRQ channel on the IRQ
jumper block. You might need to obtain this switch and install
it to enable the IRQ channel.
The following files must appear in the CONFIG.SYS file:
IBM1S506.ADD
OS2CDROM.DMD
k.1.2 Non-SCSI Mitsumi** CD-ROM
The CD-ROM drives supported are as follows:
Mitsumi CRMC-FX001
Mitsumi CRMC-FX001D
Mitsumi CRMC-LU002S
Mitsumi CRMC-LU005S
Usually, .ADD device drivers determine the parameters
automatically. The following parameters are provided in case
it is necessary to override the default parameter selection.
BASEDEV= MITFX001.ADD [ /P:hhh ] [ /I:nn ] [ /V ]
/P:hhh Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface
card. The MITFX001.ADD driver will automatically check for a
Mitsumi Host adapter installed at port address 300 or 340.
If your adapter is configured for a different port address, then
the /P parameter must indicate the port address your host
adapter is set to.
/V Specifies the verbose mode. This paramter displays the
device driver revision level and CD-ROM product identification
information at start up.
k.1.3 Non-SCSI SONY** CD-ROM
The parameters of the following cards are described in this
section.
This adapter device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives:
SONY CDU-31A SCSI CD-ROM drives
SONY CDU-33A CD-ROM drives
SONY CDU-7305 CD-ROM drives
Usually, .ADD device drivers determine the parameters automatically.
The following parameters are provided in case it is necessary
to override the default parameter selection.
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD [ /A:n ] [ /AT:dd ] [ /P:hhh ]
[ /I:nn ] [ /V ]
/A:n Specifies the adapter number as a single digit value that
is zero based. The first adapter is specified as A:0.
/AT:dd Sets the adapter type connected to the CD-ROM drive.
The following values are supported:
00 Sony CDB-334 (default)
08 Media Vision** ProAudio Spectrum-16
/P:hhh Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface
card. This address must match the address specified on the
host interface card. If the parameter is not specified, the
default port address for the host adapter is used. The Sony
CDB-334 host adapter supports base I/O port addressed of 320,
330, 340, or 360 (hex). The default value is 340. For the
Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16 adapter card, the default
is 1F88.
/I:nn Specifies the interrupt request channel number (IRQ).
This value must match the IRQ value specified on the host
interface card. To enable interrupt transfer mode, which
improves performance, this parameter must be specified.
Note: Some Sony host adapter cards did not include the plastic
jumper switch that selects the IRQ channel on the IRQ jumper
block. You might need to obtain this switch and install it to
enable the IRQ channel.
/V Specifies the verbose mode. This parameter displays the
device driver revision level and CD-ROM product identification
information at start up.
Example:
Assume you have a Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to a
Sony CDB-334 host adapter. If the CDB-334 host adapter is set
to any port address other than the default (340), the BASEDEV
statement must be modified. For example, if the host adapter is
set to a base I/O port address of 360, type the following
statement in your CONFIG.SYS file:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360
If you ahve a Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to a
Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16 host adapter, type:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /AT:08
Assume you have a Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to a
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster 16, or
Sound Blaster 16MultiCD. The port address specified on the
BASEDEV= statement should be 10h above the port address
specified on these host adapter cards. For example, if the
Sound Blaster card is set for a base port address of 220h, type:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0230
SONY535.ADD:
This adapter device driver supports the following CD-ROM
drives:
Sony 531 series CDU-531,6201,6205
Sony 535 series CDU-535,6205,7205
BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD [ /p:hhh ] [ /I:nn ] [ /U:d,d ] [ /V ]
/U:d,d Specifies the drive unit number that the Sony CD-ROM
drive is set to. The value of (d) must be set to 0, 1, 2 or
3. If more than one Sony CD-ROM drive is attached to the
adapter, this parameter must be specified. If only one CD-ROM
drive is attached to the adapter, and this parameter is not
specified, then the default unit id used by the driver is 0.
Example: Assume that you have a Sony CD-ROM drive attached to
Sony CDB-240 host adapter and the Sony host adapter is set to
a base I/O port address of 360. The line in the CONFIG.SYS
should be:
BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /p:0360
If the Sony CD-ROM is attached to the Sony host adapter at base
I/O port address of 360h, and the drive is operating in
interrupt mode at IRQ channel 5, the line in the CONFIG.SYS
should be:
BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /p:360 /I:5
If two Sony CD-ROM drives are daisy chained from the Sony host
adapter with the first drive set to drive unit 0 and the second
set to drive unit 1, the line in the CONFIG.SYS should be:
BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /p:340 /U:0,1

l. Sound Cards
______________
It is important to make a note of base address, interrupts and
DMA channels used by your computer's sound card.
Also, check that it works under Windows before installing OS/2.
When OS/2 is installed, please refer to the Multimedia
Information folder. This contains useful information on
Windows session parameters.
h3.Sound problems after installation
After installing OS/2 Warp on your system, if you hear unusual
or repeated sounds, or no sound, this could be due to
incompatibility between parameters in the OS/2 device driver
and the sound card, or the computer's BIOS parameters.
Use the utility RMVIEW to add OS/2 device driver types
(and associated paramters) installed on the system
The program quickly scans the list of drivers (the sound card
is in the last section).
a-Open an OS/2 window or full screen session.
b-Enter the following command:
RMVIEW
c-Make a note of the following parameters (X corresponds
to a value):
I/O = 0X0XXX
IRQ Level = X
DMA Channel = X
These parameters are used by OS/2 for the audio
device.
d-Refer to the documentation supplied with the sound
card for the hardware configuration of the card.
Note the following parameters:
Port address (E-S) = 0X0XXX
Interrupt level = X
DMA Channel = X
e-If the hardware and software configuration are
identical :
.Open the OS/2 folder on the desktop.
.Open the folder System Setup.
.Select the Selective Install object.
.Select the Multimedia Device Support icon.
The Device Selection and Settings
window appears. The sound card figures
in the list of supported devices to install.
.Select the Settings button.
In the window that appears are shown
Port Address, Interrupt Level (IRQ) and DMA.
.Select the values which correspond to the
hardware settings of the sound card, then
select OK.
.In the Device Selection and Settings window
select OK.
.In the System Configuration window, select
OK.
.In the Configuration and Installation of OS/2
window, select Installation.
.In the Source Directory window, select
Installation.
.Follow the instructions on the screen.
f- Stop and restart the system for the modifications
to take effect.
If the problem persists, this could be due to a conflict with
the computer's BIOS parameters. To make sure, you need the
utility diskette and the documentation supplied with the
computer.
To find out the hardware configuration, proceed as follows:
a- Insert the Utility Diskette in drive A.
b- Using the documentation, add the BIOS parameters
configured for your system.
c- Compare the IRQ level displayed by the RMVIEW
utility with the hardware IRQ level indicated in
the documentation. If the hardware IRQ for the
LPT port is 5 or 7, delete this value. (To find
out how to save your new parameters, refer to the
la documentation.)
Note: Under OS/2 Warp, printing to a parallel port
does not require the IRQ level to be reset.
If unusual sounds are produced during a WIN-OS2* session,
refer to the online Multimedia manual in the Information
folder.
m. Screen Adapters
__________________
m.0.1 ATI Graphics Ultra Pro card
ATI makes several sorts of screen cards which are comparable
to the IBM 8514/A screen card. ATI Graphics Ultra, 8514 Ultra
and Graphics Vantage screen cards can all be defined as
IBM 8514/A cards during the OS/2 installation procedure.
However, if you have an ATI Graphics Ultra Pro screen card,
you should proceed as follows before commencing installation.
The INSTALL utility will define the device as a VGA screen, so
that OS/2 can be installed. After installation, you can
restart the INSTALL utility to select the appropriate screen
setup for your system.
Note: If these steps are not carried out correctly, the system
may stop with a black screen or the display may be affected by
static electricity. Refer to the documentation supplied with
the ATI card if you have a problem when you are configuring
the Ultra Pro memory.
To prepare the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro card to work with OS/2:
1- Start up the system under DOS, preferably from a diskette.
DOS must be booted again after installing OS/2, as the
ATI installation utility only works under DOS.
2- Insert the diskette provided with your ATI Graphics Ultra
Pro Card and type INSTALL at the DOS prompt.
3- If the card has 1 Mb of video memory, select SHARED.
If it has 2 Mb of video memory, make sure that the
slot is correctly configured.
4- Select Monitor Setup.
5- Select Custom.
6- For a screen frequency of 640 x 480,
select IBM DEFAULT (or 60 Hz).
7- Choose frequencies corresponding to other
resolutions by types of screen.
8- Save the configuration.
9- Install OS/2. During the installation, be sure
to select 8514 as main screen type.
m.0.2 Display problems
White screen after installation:
If the screen is blank at the end of installation and the
system is dead, define the video card as 8 bit and place it in
an 8 bit slot. If possible, deactivate the auto-communication
functio of the card. For more details, refer to the
documentation supplied with the card.
The system stops at the logo screen:
If you have a Future Domain 16xx SCSI controller, it is
possible that OS/2 installation has completed, but that a
problem has occurred when you restarted OS/2. If the system
stops at the logo screen, there may be a conflict between
interrupt levels in your drives. Check the IRQ parameters
of all your devices and Future Domain controllers. Level IRQ5
is often used for audio cards or communications cards. If you do
not detect this type of error immediately you may experience
other problems with the product.
Graphics mode and incorrect screen refresh rates:
Most cards analyse the characteristics and capacities of the
screen. The video BIOS of these cards detects and defines
the hardware as a function of graphic mode required.
On certain cards, DIP switches allow you to select the screen
refresh rate in high resolution modes (800x600 and 1024x768).
For others, this selection is done by video configuration
utilities supplied with DOS. As a general rule, the screen
refresh rates vary between 56 and 72 Hz for non-interlaced
displays or 88 Hz for interlaced displays.
The screen must conform to this rate for correct definition.
When the desired screen refresh rate has been defined using
the DIP switches or video configuration utility, start the
\OS2\SVGA.EXE utility to store the hardware configuration in
the file \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI. In a full screen DOS session,
type C:\OS2\SVGA ON, then press Enter.
VGA support installed instead of SVGA support:
During the installation of OS/2, the installation program
could only install VGA support for your screen. To install
Super VGA (SVGA) drivers, you can use the Selective Install
option in the System Setup folder. (The option System
Setup is in the OS/2 folder.)
