- [On the problem of installing the SP, which bombs out]
-
- When I installed the SP, enverything went smoothly until the time came
- to reboot. The system hung, and every reboot would do the same.
-
- I then went in with a floppy-boot and found out that the system want SVGA
- but the file made by SVGA (SVADAT.PMI ??) was missing.
-
- The solution was to copy svga.{com,exe} to a floppy, and then reboot DOS.
- There you get into high resolution mode using one of the programs which
- comes with your hunky-dory SVGA card (ET4000 have vmode) and run SVGA ON.
- Note:
- Make shure you have a directory called \os2, otherwise it'll give a
- nonsense reply and nothing happens
-
- Then copy this file to the \OS2 on your OS2 disk.
-
- After this rebooting did the trick.
