ACPI 3.09 blocks boot

[Chuck McKinnis]

I have eCS20RC4 installed. On a portable : Intel DUO core 2 L7500 @ 1,66 GHz Chipset : Intel GM965 Bios setting : Duo core processing enabled USB : legacy support enabled Working kernel : 14.104a_SMP In config.sys : 5 lines BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS 2 lines BAVEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS All other USB lines are remmed-out (otherwise systems hangs on BASEDEV=USBD.SYS) Version of USB drivers = 10.1062 APM is confiured, and gives no problems (as far as I know)

My main problem is : I do not have USB-active (no USB-spport for USB-devices ! I would have corrected this.

Someone told me to try to activate ACPI. With ACPI I would have more change to activate USB.

But for activating ACPI I first needed to have SMP-kernel. So I switched form my "normal IBM 14.104 kernel to SMP 14.104a)

I replaced the original ACPI-drivers with these of "acpi-20080423.zip" V3.09. As mentionned is the ACPI.doc chapter 4 (Installation)

I have APM also active. In config.sys I added options /SMP /FS /APIC

I have a LOGS-1 (Boot fails) I removed OS2LOGO ACPI.PSD of debug\ is installed When I reboot I get only title /header ending with "Internal revision 14.104a_SMP"

I can not do any logging, because system does not start ! I need to rem-out the PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /FS /APIC line to be aible to boot again.

Anyone any suggestion ?

[Chuck McKinnis]

I seams to me that my kernel is hanging. The cursor is just one line under the text "Internal revision 10.104a_SMP" And when the system boots fine, the drivers that are booting appears in the middle of the screen.

I need SMP kernel for ACPI, isn't ? (I have read this in a documentation)

And I want to have ACPI to try to get USB-support enabled (this is my main goal)

[Chuck McKinnis]

When system "hangs" during boot : there is no harddisk activity !

Where I can see "LOG-1" ?

PC hangs always here

[Chuck McKinnis]

Usually, Core Duo + Intel chipset => /SMP /APIC and /CD

so.. read the dosc again, how to run in SMP APIC mode: try disable more devices, more drivers. Disable amouse, USB, etc. Then enable the devices one by one.

To debug (to help . . )

[Chuck McKinnis]

Who can give me some suggestions how what to desactivate in my config.sys? (I submitted me config.sys just before) Sorry, I am not an expert (yet) in this stuff.

Thanks

I just got the information from my HW vendor that ACPI used in this machine is 1.0B Maybe this may help to find a solution.

Make notes on paper what are you doing, make backup copies of the original files.

Use FileCommander? to manipulate with files: ​http://www.os2world.com/content/view/18051/2/

1) how to edit config.sys?

• make backup copy of the file

• start editor, open config.sys. add REM in the beginning of lines:

BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS -> REM BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS

BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS

DEVICE=E:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS /V DEVICE=E:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS /V /C

• reboot

• remove REM prefix to activate a driver

2) OK, let's move faster, ​http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=logs -> LOGS-1 - instructions how to catch output from debug version of ACPI.

how to install debug ACPI? download ACPI package, copy ACPI.PSD from debug\ directory to x:\OS2\BOOT\

make photos of the screen if boot stops, grab acpi log if the system booted to desktop.

REMming out all USB (BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS) does not solve the job !

I've remmed out also APM. => still the same.

REM out MMOS2 . .

I do not find the lines you suggest. I find : (see lines 49 , . . in my config.sys here attached ) DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\ssmdd.sys /S:64 /P:64 /H:256 /Q:1024 /E:1024
