- The problem is with the VDPMI.SYS file as shipped with GA. You need to get
- the latest version of this file. You should be able to get this from
- software.watson.ibm.com in the directory /pub/os2 and the file vdpmi.zip.
-
- I had similar problems and also could not get zdb working the new vdpmi.sys
- will cure your ills.
