| Hello, I am in the process of bringing up OS/2 on a machine with the following configuration: AMD/64 3500+ Asus A8N-SLI PCI-E ATI Radeon X700 PCI-E Graphics Card Warp 4.52 XRC005 but at driver fixpak XRD002 Display driver Scitech DD 7.07 The PM Shell cannot initialize. SDDHELP.SYS Traps and I am stuck. Altering the boot configuration to switch to VGA mode does not help the situation. It appears that Scitech Display Doctor is unable to work with the new hardware at the level at which it is on the Warp install. I can boot Warp to command line OK off the Hard Drive, but no Presentation Manager(PM). Funny that you need the PM to install the IBM GRADD Drivers as well as Scitech's Display Drivers ??!! The reason for the change to this configuration is that the old PC on which the Warp configuration worked died. I also have Windows XP installed and use Boot Manager startup selection to switch between systems. Now I decided to use Acronis True Image Backup/Restore 8.0 utility to backup the OS/2 volumes (Boot F:(HPFS) Data E:(JFS) and G:(JFS) ) on the machine and restore to another one which I have just refurbished. This machine has an A-Bit AGP Card with ATI Radeon 9600 chipset. I used LVM to prepare the target Hard Disk using the same size configuration as on the first machine above. The F: drive restores and is recognized ok. The JFS drives E: and G: show up as unrecognized and unformatted. What could be the problem? One thing I forgot to mention is that all three volumes were on a Seagate 120 GB Hard Drive in the above machine, but in the second the F: volume is restored to a Maxtor 120GB but the E: and G: JFS volumes were restored to a second 6.51GB Seagate Hard Drive. Any help on the matter would be appreciated. Is JFS such a special case that volumes cannot be imaged and restored to some other system? Comments please. Thanks. Hoping to get Xfree/86 going on Warp .... |
