RC2 with ACPI3.11 - DOS/WinOS2 do not work anymore (okay with 3.10)

I've upgraded ACPI from 3.10 to 3.11 and now DOS/WinOS2 do not work anymore. No high IRQs.

PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS working DOS/WinOS2 with ACPI3.10 but not with 3.11 PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC working DOS/WinOS2 with ACPI3.10 but not with 3.11

Tried with 3.11 the following too, but without sucess - PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS /PIC

DEVICE=D:\OS2\MDOS\VPIC.SYS do not make a difference. Is vpic.sys described anywhere?

Message 2:

Verified - it's the new vpic.sys which prevents DOS / WinOS2 from loading.

This version do not work for me -

9.10.08 6.15 11.156 54 a--- VPIC.SYS

This works - 30.04.01 14.39 9.942 49 a--- VPIC.SYS

Tooks a while for me to find out I've to reboot before the 'other' version will be loaded, but now it's clear to me - VPIC.SYS is the reason.

Where do I find this VPIC.SYS? x:\OS2\MDOS\VPIC.SYS on my system is dated 30/04/2001, and I don't have it loaded in CONFIG.SYS. Still, I can't use DOS or WINOS2 sessions:

{0}[root@ecsbox | G:\]start /DOS SYS1059: The system cannot execute the specified program.

I have ACPI 3.13 installed and working on my AMD SMP system. What should I do? Do you need more infos?

Bye Cris

DOS works with Acpi3.13 and original vpic.sys. 2 cores (CPU0 & CPU1) are running.

config.sys entry which works - PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC

Never had a problem with DOS and 1 CPU (without /SMP), but did not test 1 CPU very much.

The vpic.sys driver has been discontinued and removed from the distribution.
