I've done that. There is a failure when creating Disk 1 - never get the
opportunity to try to create Installation or Disk 2.

An update:

I managed to find a friend who had an old computer sitting around. He
let me install OS/2 4.51 on it and I managed to create the 4.52 install
disks. I removed the TESTCFG.SYS line from Config.SYS (and the file
from the floppy), but there are no lines referring to APM.SYS.

When I try to use these disks to install onto my box, I'm getting a
trap in OS2Kernl on Disk 1. I don't have all the information handy and
don't have the time at the moment to duplicate the error (I did
duplicate it 3 times earlier). Dunno why I could get all the way
through Disk 1 to the point it was asking for Disk 2 the other day...

Can I run the PatchLdr utility from my friend's computer that has OS/2
on it? Will it make a difference? I'm willing to drive over to his
house again if it will, otherwise, I'd just rather not waste the time.

Is it possible that the RAID controller is causing a problem? That's
where XP is loading from. IIRC, the boot sequence is set up A:, CD,
ERAID drive). There is a RAID driver on one of the floppies.

What are the latest versions of OS2LDR and OS2KERNL? Where can I obtain
them and what is the procedure to get them onto the floppies?

Had a similar situation about a month ago with my new box. Got one step
further than you by adding basedev=ibmint13.i13 to the config.sys, which
my (very old) previous box apparently had be able to do without. Am now
stuck with a doscall1.dll failure with my new AMD64 box, having done all
those things you mention, incl trying recent kernels from this site:

http://www.os2site.com/sw/upgrades/kernel/index.html

Believe you don´t need any special RAID drivers if you are using the
latest dani drivers. Don´t think the newest OS2LDR (with the new
kernels) require Dani´s patch. Anyway, you are not there yet.

According to what I read at the site mentioned in my original post,
Dani has managed to install on a box with AMD 64 and 1GB RAM - just
what I'm attempting... The steps she listed made it sound simple.

Will add the basedev line you suggest to Config.SYS if it isn't already
there. My original setup was pretty ancient also - about 7 years old.

Figure I probably need the patch, if I don't get a later OS2LDR, since
I now have 1GB RAM. Found out the other day that the patch won't run
from an XP DOS prompt, so I'll have to take the disk over to my
friend's house to run it in an OS/2 VDM.

Not using Dani's drivers on the floppies, but was using them (IDE and
ATAPI) on my original setup and plan to use them on this setup if I can
ever get an install. Is it just a matter of copying the ADD and FLT
files to the floppies and adding lines to Config.SYS (remming original
lines of course)?

Still don't understand how I got further along the other day. My
original problem (using floppies created from the 4.52 CD in my
original setup) occurred after Disk 1 had completed and the screen
requested Disk 2. The floppy drive kept turning on and off - putting
Disk 2 in anyway resulted in much scrolling of error messages and a
message about not being able to access the HD (maybe floppy and/or CD
too, don't recall off the top of my head). I figured that I had a bad
Disk 1 and attempted to re-create them from XP DOS prompt, which failed
on Disk 1 and apparently ruined it.

UPDATE: The basedev=ibmint13.i13 was already in Config.SYS on the
floppy. I ran the patchldr (without any parameters - if I need a
parameter, I have no idea of how to find which one) on my friend's
computer that I installed OS/2 onto and copied the OS2LDR file to my
floppy. Reboot on my box resulted in the following trap after the
Install Disk had loaded and Disk 1 had been inserted and Enter pressed:

Seems our problems were different. My problem was getting disk access.
To get going with my maintenance floppies, I think I applied the
latest versions of IBM1S506.ADD, OS2DASD.DMD and IBMATAPI.FLT (or
IBMDECD.FLT), and that it was only later that I moved to the Dani versions.

If you get PatchLDR.zip from Hobbes there is a file MEMTEST.EXE which
will show you which switch to apply to patchLDR.exe, in my case /E820.
It has to be applied to your new box. So you have to try to get an OS2
prompt, either with the maintenance diskettes or with the AltF1 blob.
You can edit the \os2\boot\config.x from XP if you install HPFSW2K.ZIP.

Like Daniela I did not do an installation, which you are attempting. I
cloned a functoning version to the new box, and am stuck, but got a bit
further than you. Hope Bill can help us to get yet a bit further.

Toast the APM.SYS, testcfg.sys (hardly used realy) and remove
ibmint13.sys should get your copied configuration running.

Thanks Roderick. Sure did not work for me! Have disk drives 2 x 200GB
so I need type 48 LBA support and suppose that ibmint13.i13 gives that
support.

When you refer to the latest versions of IBM1S506.ADD, OS2DASD.DMD and
IBMATAPI.FLT, are you referring to the 4.52 version or is there a later
version? Can I just replace them with Dani's S506 and ATAPI files? If
so, what about OS2DASD.DMD?

I have been unable to get to a command prompt, I get the trap I posted
yesterday, but I haven't tried AltF1 at the OS/2 blob. Will give that a
shot later and see if it works. Not sure if that will work either since
MEMTEST requires DOS and I'm not sure if it will run under OS/2.

I already have the PatchLdr file and have unzipped it. I attempted to
run the patch program against the floppy version of OS2LDR, but it
wouldn't work so I ran the patch program against the install I made on
my friends box and copied it to my floppy - that got me the trap
yesterday, but I think it's the same trap I got before. If I can get
MEMTEST to run on the upgraded box (it won't run in a DOS window under
XP, tried already) and find the switch to apply, can I do the patch on
the version that I have on my friend's box (after copying the backup to
the original filename) and then copy that to the floppy?

Maybe I can just apply the patch with one switch, try it, and, if it
doesn't work, try the other switch? It will have to be done to my
friend's box though and I'll have to get the patched loader to
floppy...

Sure am glad he let me borrow his box until I can get things working...

Will this file allow me to access HPFS paritions? Will it allow me to
copy files from HPFS to the XP parition (NTFS)?

If you get the blob >> Alt F1 >> F6 (hardware detection off) ; maybe this
will help. Did it for me.

Are you installing MCP 1 or 2 or eCS any version? Then the default IBM
or Dani drivers should work, since they had 48 bit LBA addressing for
about the past five years or more. I'd recommend the latest Dani
driver, renamed to IBM1s506.add, as she has the support for the latest
in chips, whereas the IBM drivers do not have that support.

Thanks Bill. I had a functioning MCP2 partition on the old box.
Cloning this to the new box (AMD64, 1GB RAM, 2x200GB disk drives)I had
problems with disk access, also from the AltF1 blob and from the
maintenance diskettes. The problem with the maitenance diskettes were
that they did not include ibmint.i13 as I had produced these diskettes
on the old box which apparently did not require ibmint.i13. Applying
the lastest IBM basedevice drivers or the latest Dani drivers solved the
disk access problem. For DANIS506.ADD had to use the switch /!BIOS.

So my problem is not disk access any more, it is the DOSCALL1.DLL
failure, which comes at the very end of the booting process. Have
changed to Daniela´s TESTCFG.SYS, remmed out all the APM related
drivers, tried Veit´s APMAA64.SYS, on your suggestion Bill I have
installed the EXPARTCP (except the newer basedevice drivers), applied
the Daniela´s PatchLDR and tried various newer kernels. But I am stuck
with the DOSCALL1.DLL failure.

Was hoping we could help Mike so that he might join me in trying to
solve the DOSCALL1.DLL problem

To do the MEMTEST I used a Win98 boot diskette.

As to versions of the basedevice drivers I am not sure. I think the
4.52 drivers were not good enough for my 200GB drives. Anyway, I did
get the latest IBM drivers.

Yes, believe you can replace with the latest DANI drivers. Actually I
prefer DAMIDASD.DMD as I can boot without being in the first partition
on the first drive. I have had problems with the DANIS506.ADD, even
with applying the switch /!BIOS, but think this is because I have more
than one primary partition.

Correction, DANIS506.ADD does not work for me even with the /!BIOS
switch. Gives drive access failure. Have to use IBM1S506.ADD. Have
four primary partitions on this drive of which the second is OS2 4.52

Just for comparison,

is what I was getting when eCS1.2 was trying to do APM on my Thinkpad.
Close (addresses) but maybe no cigar.

For what it's worth, my Nice New Thinkpad falls over at install unless
I use Dani's drivers in compatibility mode.
