logical parameters of 255 heads and 63 sectors to support drives up to about 8 GB in capacity. Standard SCSI translation, with 64 heads and 32 sectors, is limited to a maximum capacity of 1024 MB (1 GB). You can enable Extended SCSI translation in the BIOS Configuration section of the EISA Configuration Utility options for the D2078A/B EISA Fast SCSI-2 Host Adapter. This information also holds true for the embedded AIC7870 SCSI Host Adapter.
provides information on improving the performance of OS/2 systems. Contact IBM for more details. Tip 7) Troubleshooting System Hangs When Loading CONFIG.SYS Reboot the system. When the "OS/2" prompt appears in white text at the upper left portion of the screen, press the Alt and F2 keys simultaneously. Read the driver name on the bottom of the display as they are loaded. The last driver displayed may be the one causing the system hang. Try booting from diskette to edit CONFIG.
Fix: This is caused by the wrong AIC7870.ADD driver. It is possible that you skipped one of the steps where the driver and CONFIG.SYS are updated either manually or by using the UPDATE.EXE utility. Issue 6: After the first auto-reboot during the file and print installation section the system may stop with an error when loading drivers in CONFIG.SYS the error will read like this "Invalid path specified in line xy c:\cid\...". Fix: This error usually occurs because the CD-ROM driver is not present in CONFIG.
4) Select "IBM OS/2" 5) Select "Warp Family" 6) Select "Continue" 7) Select "Show Configured Card" 8) Select "View Resources" It shows a table with the following column headings: SLOT IRQ DMA MEMORY I/O PORTS 9) Select "Save to Disk" note that there is no printer support for the Navigator 10) Select "Continue" 11) Select "Continue" 12) Select "Exit" 13) Print the information saved to diskette in step 9 if you want a hard copy Tip 10) How to Run the HPVGSET.
Tip 12) HPFS386 Drive cache size issue on systems with 4GB RAM The installation procedure of IBM OS/2 defaults to calculating the disk cache size based on the amount of memory installed on your system. It appears that this calculation does not work properly when the system has a 4GB of RAM installed. In this case the disk cache is set to the lowest value of 256K. Hewlett-Packard reported this issue to IBM. As a workaround you can edit the file C:\IBM386FS\HPFS386.INI.
Configuration #2: Four HP NetRAID disk array cards Two NIC's To resolve this issue ServicePack 29 is required. You can obtain this update by contacting your IBM representative. Tip 16) Specific to E Series NetServers: How to boot from a NetRAID adapter while a 2910Bui SCSI card is present on the system The following steps are involved during system boot to install boot partition on NetRAID adapter disk arrays. 1. Disable Host Adapter BIOS by using during boot-up.
6. The default IDE configuration is usually set to automatic which reports the following parameters: Cyl = 14848 Head = 9 Sector = 63 Workaround: Run setup to apply the following IDE configuration values: Cyl = 8174 Head = 16 Sector = 63 Final Fix: Contact IBM or connect to the following web site to obtain the new IBM IDE driver: http://service.software.ibm.
Tip 23) "Unable to Access the Hard Drive" error during the OS/2 installation. (Also, see Tip #24) This error usually occurs due to one of the following reasons. 1. The basedev stament for the target driver is not present in config.sys. 2. The target disk driver is not present on diskette one. For example there is a new Adaptec driver aic7870.add required for new systems that support Ultra Wide SCSI like in the NetServer E 60.
6. Add a new Basedev statement in config.sys BASEDEV=AICNEW.ADD 7. In config.sys make sure the following statement is present SET SAVECONNECT=1 By default, this statement is inserted by cdinst. 8. At the end of installation, aicnew.add gets copied to the root partition of the boot drive, and the config.sys will have a corresponding BASEDEV statement. You can choose to copy this driver to the c:\os2\boot directory. Do not rename this driver back to AIC7870.ADD. Reference: http://service.software.ibm.
