- TITLE: 950118 INSTALLING WARP ON AN APTIVA, AN IBM PC 300 AND 700
- SERIES MACHINES WITH 3.7MB OF MEMORY AND AN IDE CDROM
- RESULTS IN TRAP0003.
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- Trap 3 can happen on IBM PC 300 Series - 486 Systems , IBM PC
- 300 Series - Pentium System , IBM PC 700 Series - Pentium
- Systems and Aptiva machines with 3.7 meg of memory and an
- IDE CDROM
-
- The queueing mechanism in the IDE CDROM driver can cause
- a trap 3 during install if there is heavy swap activity.
- A fix must be applied to the OS/2 system to correct this
- problem.
-
- How to apply the fix for a CD install.
-
- OS/2 has two diskettes that are required to boot and initiate
- an install from a CD. The diskettes are called the "Installation"
- diskette and "Diskette 1". In the fixes sent to you will be a file
- called IBMIDECD.FLT. Copy this file to "Diskette 1" replacing the
- original that was on the diskette. Now go forth and do your
- install as usual. The new module will be used during the install
- and it will be installed on the final system.
-
- How to apply the fix for a diskette install.
-
- Boot the Install diskette and go through the first part of install.
- At the end of the first part of install, a blue screen with white
- letters comes up telling the user to remove the diskette and press
- enter to reboot and continue the install. At this time, the user
- must press the F3 button to get to a command line. In the fixes
- sent to you will be a file called IBMIDECD.FLT. Copy this file
- to the directory ?:\OS2\BOOT (? is the drive letter being installed
- into) replacing the original. Then enter EXIT to get you back to
- the blue screen. Now go forth and finish your install as usual.
- the new module will be used during the install and it will be
- installed on the final system.
-
-
- The fix is AVAILABLE in the APTIVA UPDATE. A replacement disk
- will be sent. For the CD-ROM version of WARP, a new Diskette #1
- will be sent. For the Diskette version, a new Diskette #2 will be sent.
- Use this new diskette in place of the equivalent diskette that came
- with OS/2 WARP.
