It is independant of the kernel revision

del \os2\boot\os2norev.$$$
and the kernel lists its revision at bootup.

It is a plain text file and can simply rebuilded by
echo . >\os2\boot\os2norev.$$$ when needed as the content counts 
nothing but the pure existence hinders the kernel on publishing its 
revision.

You're running an old, outdated kernel. Use ecsmt 2.1.8 to get the 
most current _working_ kernel. 14.100c or newer. This kernel is the 
most stable, most performant ever seen for OS/2 until now.
