Installed all into a new box and transferred my HD's and cards to it. However eCS wont start, says there is an internal processing error. Mandrake starts and I am using it for this eMail. I tried reinstalling eCS 1.1 into another partition but when it reaches the stage of copying files for installation it stops with the error message: PHASE 10x1604 an error occurred while executing ?\ecs\install\rsp \phase1.cmd 2>&1>?:\var\log\phase1.|1 rc=5636 for installing the base operating system After searching all the information I think eCS 1.1 may not be able to handle the nVDIA nForce3 250GB chipset. nVDIA nForce2 is mentioned but not nVDIA nForce3. Before buying the MB I had checked DANI506 info which mentioned that NVDIA chipsets were supported. Any ideas how I can get eCS installed? Also had a lot of problems with conflict between Boot Manager and WIN XP. After installing WIN XP I would go to the maintenance screen of eCS and using LVM would make it bootable by Boot Manager but WIN XP would not load fully, just coming up with the blue windows screen with 'Windows' across it but no taskbar to operate it. Eventually I discovered that it would load if I used Partition Magic to add WIN XP to Boot Manager instead of LVM. However when I then try to install eCS WIN XP again doesn't boot fully, so the installation process for eCS and also LVM somehow affect booting of WIN XP. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Paul, Where can I get eCS 1.2 beta? re: 1) I had eCS installed on the HD from the previous PC and transferred the HD to this box but it won't load. re: 2) I think eCS 1.1 on this HD was upgraded to almost 1.2 level by various individual file upgrades.

Available from ecomstation dot com if you have a eCS 1.2 license (I think) >re: 1) I had eCS installed on the HD from the previous PC and >transferred the HD to this box but it won't load. has a replacement apm driver that's supposed to fix athlon64 hangs - I think latest testcase kernel also helps - google should have information... >re: 2) I think eCS 1.1 on this HD was upgraded to almost 1.2 level by >various individual file upgrades. As above - apm driver and new kernel should get it up and running...

For the former you need to have software subscription and/or be registed for the betazone, for the latter you need to be in the Test Team. Actually with my experiences so far with eCS 1.21, don't worry about getting into the test team - just try to get the AMD ready version of eCS 1.2. Go to www.ecomstation dot com and log in, then go to the betazone - if you can see the ISO download it and burn it to a CD and do an install. Easier may in fact be to go the IBM site and download the latest Alpha kernel for OS/2 - actually its not that big, I'll send you it by e-mail off-list. Then just replace the existing files with the new ones. Cheers/2 Ed. alan duval wrote: >Hi, > >I bought a new MB (Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939) and AMD Athlon 64 Processor >3000.
