Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: 20050317 kernels with CPU support changes

Forwarded message from "Scott G." on Thu, 17 Mar 2005 20:24:54 UTC Posted
on: comp.os.os2.bugs

I'd like some feedback (via news, mostly, please). I put out new  kernels 
today that *ought* to work on all CPUs (well, not on 386es and not on  the
486sx except for the W4 kernel). In particular, the APMA64 hack  should no
longer be necessary for P4 and Athlon64 systems.

Let me know....

Thanks in advance to everybody.

-Scott

[Moderator note: As always these are not officially supported by IBM
unless they tell you to use them.  

 Download from <ftp://testcase.boulder.ibm.com/ps/fromibm/os2/>

  **** 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:

  20050317 14.103a
  	First post xr_c005 private. Starts at that level and adds the fixes
from 14.100m-14.100o.
	Note: Pentium Pros are once again supported here. Also, I changed vmco_s
back to its
		usual size (see note under 14.100e)

	PJ30210 - Another -- I hope the final -- attempt to fix doscall1 traps on
P4 and Athlon64s.
