OS/2 - это совершенно другая операционная система для PC (ArcaOS, eComStation, IBM OS/2 Warp)
Программы, новости, статьи, поддержка пользователей, оборудование, вопросы и ответы.
Коротко что нового:
Новое ядро. Улучшена поддержка мультимедия (отлажен аудио-драйвер; веб-браузер с
проигрывателем HTML5). eComStation можно устанавливать на компьютер с Windows 7.
Теперь поддерживаются компьютеры, у которых контроллер дисков SATA
работает только в режиме AHCI. Поддерживаются все модели Ethernet адаптеров:
Realtek, NVidia и Intel. Обновлены системные утилиты и компоненты.
Обновлен драйвер файловой системы JFS и видеодрайвер Panorama VESA.
Успешная установка на ноутбуки Dell / HP.
Include AiR-BOOT (version 1.0.7 final) to allow installation of multiboot environments without sacrificing a primary partition (required for most Windows 7 preloads)
Updated ACPIWIZARD to handle APM aware mousedrivers
AHCI support, enables installation on AHCI only systems. AHCI controllers deliver considerably better performance than regular SATA controllers.
Added AHCI option to preboot menu (currently required to select manually)
Added BOOTDLY driver, which causes a 20 second boot delay so SCSI controller + disks can properly initialize. Driver is added by OS2CSM and HWMERGE when a SCSI driver is selected.
Replaced preboot disk integrity check with version that runs during the graphical installation routine. This provides more user interactivity and feedback.
Updated kernel to 14.105, with fix to prevent PROCDUMP trap.
