I too have met some systems that hated gaps in the IDE chain. In my experience it has been MB/chipset dependent as I have met the gap problem with both OS/2 and Windows. The fact that applying CP1 then xr_c002 does not cause the problem but clean install from CP2 CDs does suggests that the CP2 CDs are at fault . I have tried my copy of CP2 disks and K. D. Fishers copy to see if one set had a bad disk but the problem is consistent. Beats me! ----------------------------------------- Brian Butler System Administrator brianbatkdfisher dot com dot au Ed Durrant cc: Subject: Re: [os2genau] CP2 No CD 21/03/2002 18:09 Please respond to os2genau There were problems in earlier versions of OS/2 with "gaps" in EIDE devices on some controllers. Could you make the CD-Rom the Slave on the first controller ?? The Germany trip was for family reasons, it was just lucky that it co-insided with the Warp Workshop.

I received my CP2 for Warp Server and client via Voytek subs but required lots of emails to and fro to Singapore!!! the problems with the install are interesting, because I have experienced a faintly similar problem in that using the CP2 disks to do either an install over CP1 or a clean install, on the old Workstations at Smart road, the install process was extremely slow I mean *hours* almost left the machine on over night to do the install,,,, it seemed to be related to the HD . we have very old IDE 1.2G Quantum drives and if I did a clean install on a more modern 10G HD (like brought within the past 12 months ) in the same machine and with the same CD ROM, it was blindly fast!! Also OK as a clean install on my Thinkpad 600X On Fri, 22 Mar 2002 10:17:48 +0930, brianbatkdfisher dot com dot au wrote: > >Ian, >I received my CP2 disks about a month ago and K. D.
