SMP and ACPI trashed volume

Description

I installed eCS 2.0 RC3 on my old Tyan dual PIII system with an on board LSI dual channel SCSI controller (SYM_HI.ADD). Used HPFS for the volume.

I then installed the SMP kernel and PSD=OS2APIC.PSD. Decided to test ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC, even though I knew the documentation stated there were issues with ACPI and the SYM_HI.ADD driver. The boot got though to the Sci-Tech splash screen and hung without opening the desktop. I booted back to my old 1.2 volume and replaced the ACPI.PSD with the old OS2APIC.PSD. Tried to boot back to 2.0 and got the nasty "Unable to operate your hard drive" message. Reset and went back to 1.2. Ran DFSee. The messages are pretty nasty.

I can understand the ACPI.PSD and SYM_HI.ADD issue, but I don't understand why the volume would be trashed.

I am back running eCS 2.0 RC3 w/SMP (OS2APIC.PSD) on JFS, and all is well.

OK, I have seen ~ 5 similar reports.

Remind me please, how do you reboot after install/de-install of ACPI.PSD? Using CAD? or using Reset?

Replying to eco:

Pretty simple. After the install, I select Shutdown and Reboot.

There is no de-install. The volume is toast.

Need try boot with /!NOD. If fail - I need in acpi,log

OK, We understand that the problem is very terrible. ACPI can't cause such troubles.

System shutdown may cause this. We are going update documents and installer. and ask users make backups before testing ACPI.PSD, use tested WarpIn?, use Ctrl -Alt-Del for reboot.

I think I have discovered the problem.

The bootable JFS code was installed, but the JFS utility modules (including EXTENDFS.EXE) are not up to date. They do not match either the latest bootable JFS code or the code shipped by IBM in JFS14105.

Joachim and Eugene are aware of the issue.
