subject: Re: ECSv1.2

Hi Kris,
 
I have tried both a fresh install and a migrate install. I didn't have that
os2scsi.dmd file installed to my knowledge on any previous ECS
installation. In fact in order to install ECSv1.1 I had to ignore the scsi
and install the driver after ECSv1.1 was active. You actually gave my the
pointers about the scsi problem.
 
So I have no idea where this os2scsi.dmd file has appeared from.
 
Now I will advise that I swapped out a half height scsi drive of 4.3 megs
with a 1.25inch High? 32meg unit, which perhaps you class as an old thingy,
which it is although it's actually brand new. This would be a change from
the oringinal 1.1 install and the 1.2 attempts.
 
I assume that the OS2lvm.dmd is also an archaic beast?
 
Is it possible that I have a screwed up installation disk?
 
I obtained it through Derek Kernighan, whose always been relable in the past.
 
Looking forward to your advise.
 
Regards
 
KevinJ.

os2scsi.dmd is an old horse, it only should be in the config if you have 
attached and old scsi tape drive or archeologic thinghies like that. I 
can't see reason why the file should be installed onto a notebook of the 
21st century.

Did you install the file manually, or was it done by the installer? If 
the latter, it looks like you have to deal with an install glitch.

Remember, if something goes South with a *dmd basedev file, chances to 
resume boot are close to nil.
