Step by step. The machine I have a SCSI card in is UNI so I'm not even sure if the driver has a problem with SMP or ACPI (eCS rc7 so I also assume your using ACPI). You could try changing your PC to uni and see if it works. If you need to know the steps, email me and I'll tell you the basic's as well as disabling ACPI. We can then put ACPI back, see if it works, then progress to SMP. If could also be the SCSI card needs a remap command in x:\os2\boot\acpi.cfg or where ever acpi.cfg lives on your PC so the card's IRQ is remapped to a low IRQ as ACPI might be trying to remap it high.

I tried it and it seems to be working OK ............but An interesting new sort of behaviour has emerged - the machine boots and loads everything up fine, seems to be working OK for a variable period of time (usually between 4 and 10 minutes) then locks up solid. It doesn't seems to matter if I just boot to the desktop and leave it running or boot up and run a program it just locks up. The only other symtom seems to be a slight increase in processor fan speed. Any ideas anyone?

Rebooted; this time successfully and TAME/2 found scanner and I can scan. Guess I'll have to just use uni for eCS. It's a pity as ACPI was working well. Windows and Ubuntu should be OK with the dual processor. WIN XP is on another drive but Ubuntu is installed in a logical partition after eCS. WIN XP finds the scanner and checking it's drivers, for SCSI & Raid controller, it has Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI controller, IRQ 19. Under imaging devices it shows: HP Scanjet and driver files as: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\scsiscan.sys C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\hpsjmcro.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSYEM32\wiafbdrv.dll > We can then put ACPI back, see if it works, then progress to SMP. > If could also be the SCSI card needs a remap command in > x:\os2\boot\acpi.cfg or where ever acpi.cfg lives on your PC > so the card's IRQ is remapped to a low IRQ as ACPI might be > trying to remap it high. > My config.sys shows the line PSD=ACPI.PSD ACPI wizard says, "You have currently ACPI version 3.17 installed."

Possibly ACPI could be the problem. Do you have power management set to use APM or ACPI ? Try switching to the other option. Also try the latest ACPI if you don't already have it, and even download an older version and try that.

Is it a program or some command? Hardware manager shows AIC7870 to have IRQ 11. Other devices also have IRQ 11 so does it matter if I change the IRQ to a lower IRQ number that other devices have, e.g 1,2, 3 or 4?

Digit (17) , Hexadecimal (0x11), Octal ( 021 ) ; ; For this "Use IRQ5 instead IRQ19 in APIC", ;============== ; REMAP 19 TO 5 ; REMAP 0x13 TO 05 ;============== First though you need to find out what ACPI has remapped the device you are interested in to. ie, ACPI might have decided to assign the IRQ 18 to your Sound Blaster Live! card, if you use Sander van Leeuwen's driver, it doesnt work if the IRQ's are above 15 so you need to 'remap' the cards IRQ back to a value under 15. In the ACPI doc's you will find the file ACPI-IRQ.doc, Section 3.2 is the bit you are interested in. ================ ACPI-IRQ.doc 3.2 ============ 3.2 Usage of REMAP ___________________ The purpose of REMAP is to make the old drivers unable to understand the high irq levels to work in APIC enviroment remapping the high IRQ given by the APIC back to PIC lower irq. So, if you have the driver that does not work with high irq (i.e. well known SYM8XX.ADD or SYM_HI.ADD) do the following to make it work in APIC mode: 1. Boot without /APIC and do copy acpica$ acpi.log 2. Find in acpi.log the pci scan log and the line in it corresponding to your device. It will look like 4:1.0 1000:21 IRQs: PCI:10 PIC:'LNKA':10 APIC:24 Apic Set: 10 There 1000 - vendor id, 21 - device id of your device. You can find the vendor/device ids of your device in pci.exe output. Just search there the name of your device. In this line we see the ordinal PIC irq level is 10, APIC irq level is 24. So we must map back 24 irq to 10 3. Put the line REMAP 24 10 in \os2\boot\acpi.cfg, put /APIC switch to your ACPI.PSD, reboot. You may need more the one such iteration to make all your drivers to work fine in APIC. This stuff is not very convenient to perform, but there are ways planned to ease the remaps for end users in future releases.

If you have a spare IRQ available, when your computer boots and your see the Adaptec BIOS screen, press Ctrl-A to enter the cards setup. somewere in there is a spot you can change the IRQ of the card. It will probably work fine sharing IRQ's as you have a later dated kernel but I'm a bit old school, unless I have to, I dont like sharing ;o) Cheers Ian Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG **= Email 15 ==========================** Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:12:35 +1100 (EDT) From: "Ian Manners" Subject: Re: Scanner installation >>> You're useing a PCI SCSI adapter? >>I'm using an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. I followed Ian's suggestions and >2906 has no Adaptec support for OS2 - don't know what this implies other than the In that case, lets see, I have 1 x AHA-1540CF (ISA) <== These work well with OS/2. 4 x AHA-2940UW (PCI) <== These work well with OS/2. 2 x AVA-1502AE (ISA) 1 x AHA-2920A (PCI) All the others are LSI, NCR, and I cant remember which other ones I had working under OS/2 ok but your welcome to have a AHA-2940UW BUT if it works under UNI then its probably ok to use that card and try to get it going under SMP with ACPI. You can always try using IBM's SMP driver and rem out the ACPI driver altogether, going back to the IBM APM (Advanced Power Management) driver as well. ACPI comes in handy with motherboards and cards that insist on using high IRQ's, or without ACPI share "to" many devices on the same IRQ !
