Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2004 08:13:34 -0500 From: "Mark Dodel" Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: 20040119 kernels From: "Mark Dodel" Yet another new set of kernels for OS/2 on IBM's Testcase FTP server today. Download from "This contains fixes since xr_e002/xr_m015/mcp/acp. Important note: If you use the OS/2 SES facility, you need a new sesdd32.sys dated April 2001 or later to use this kernel. Also, a matching dump formatter (df_ret.exe), provided separately, is required, if you want to analyze a dump from this kernel. Finally, note that os2ldr is only required for the >64mb memory detection mentioned below." As always these are not officially supported by IBM unless they tell you to use them. **** Please send any followup to comp.os.os2.bugs on usenet. **** Also note that files are only on IBM's testcase for 2-3 days, so if you want to try these get them now. Make certain you back up any files replaced and don't try these on a production system. Read any readme file before applying any changes. If your system is working well, and you have no problems addressed by these updates, do yourself a favour and don't mess with this. You have been warned. The UNI and SMP files are for WSeB/ACP/eCS Pro (SMP kernel) and the W4 files are for post FP15/MCP versions, including eComStation. Only use the SMP kernel on a machine with more then one CPU.] From the readme file: Fixes to problems that exist in released code: 20040119 14.097d (still) No kernel changes from 0116, but OS2LDR changes: - the interrupt sharing fix had, at some point, got taken back out. users with seeming IRQ issues should try this - possible problem booting up P4 Xeon 4 gHz (hang at boot blob) -- Warpstock 2003 - San Francisco, California, October 18-19 See the video and presentations: http://www.warpstock.org [Moderator's note: Because of the incredible increase in SPAM lately I will now endeavor to add DESPAM to email addresses in all posts to the News list.
