eComStation 2.2 beta 2

• Read eCS 2.2 beta README

• If hang at OS2LOGO then restart eCS installation in Legacy mode, without ACPI driver
• Disable UEFI in "BIOS Setup". (= Activate Legacy mode). Sometimes you should switch several options.

eComStation 2.0 GA

eComStation 2.0 ANY VERSION

If you have HDAudio adapter and there are random hangs then disable UNIAUD in config.sys

eComStation 2.0 RC7

• Fixing a "missing LVM fingerprint" may damage your volumes, PLEASE, press Ctrl-Break to stop the utility and continue installation.
• Mouse doesn't work in Win-OS/2 sessions. Fix: Add to config.sys line: device=x:\os2\mdos\vmouse.sys

  Also to increase mouse stability add: DEVICE=x:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS

• disable FWIP.SYS in CONFIG.SYS else you can't connect to remote resources of IBM Peers network

eComStation 2.0 RC6a

• Installer, network setup: Use DHCP during install and set the static IP with tcpcfg2.cmd after installation is finished.
• After: USBRESMGR.SYS not in config.sys file
• Shutdown doesn't work, change properties of eShutdown (read more)
• If you select SMP then check than AMOUSE.SYS driver has switch SMP (SMP, not /SMP)
• a) disable FWIP.SYS in CONFIG.SYS else you can't connect to remote resources of IBM Peers network. b) You can also just disable (or not autostart) the firewall of course.

eComStation 2.0 RC5

• (2008/07/07) Hang on NETBIND.EXE

  Check your CONFIG.SYS

  genm32w.sys
  N lines..
  helperw.exe
  

  this is wrong! always push helperw.exe to the top of config.sys!

eComStation 2.0 RC4, RC5

• (2008/06) eComStation doesn't work on computers with AMD chipset in SMP mode. Don't spend time to the experiments.
• (2008/06) If you have HDAudio sound-adapter and boot uniaud driver then (you can see the model of audio during system boot or if execute: unimix.exe -card) * if eComStation hangs suddenly OR CPU is overloaded/runs up without reason then rem uniaud in x:\CONFIG.SYS

  rem DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS
  rem DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS
  

  Boot eComStation again. If the problem repeats then post report to ACPI or Panorama VESA bug-tracker.

• If system stops at NETBIND or before WPS, If using Bootable JFS and you tried all other suggestions then boot from eComStation 2.0 CD1 and fix bootable volume: chkdsk x: /f

eComStation 2.0 RC4

• JFS.IFS and NTFS.IFS should be loaded first. HPFS.IFS *after* JFS and NTFS. else system traps. And users can't understand why.
