| #4 | fixed | Possible geometry bug ?! | ||
| Description |
The following scenario we have: A machine that runs in legacy and AHCI mode in the BIOS. We switch the machine to legacy mode and run with Danis506.add version 1.8.9. On a 1 .5. TB driver I installed boot manager first. Then I create a primary 200000 MB partition. Then the rest of the drive gets allocated by a logical partition of about 1.3 TB. Both partitions are added to the IBM boot manager. I can format the volumes and they are also listed in the installer as being volumes to which eComStation can be installed. Then when I switch the BIOS to AHCI mode and load OS2AHCI.ADD driver (version 1.12) everything seems to work just fine! But when I get to the installer page of eCS 2.1 I get the message no instable volumes where found and that the disc manager will be started (minilvm). In the table where it says "notes" (the last column to the right in minlvm) it normaly mentions "Bootable " if a volume is added to the boot manager. Now with the AHCI driver loaded does "bootable" flags are gone. If I again load the system in legacy mode and with the DANIS506.ADD driver the bootable flags are displayed again in minilvm. LVM does not give any error message when its get started. Attached is danis506.txt which is the output of lvm /startlog:. And OS2AHCI.txt which was created with the OS2AHCI.ADD loaded. So it seems the LVM code is not able to read a portion of the disc. I presume the flags that tell bootmanager what partitions are stored in the bootmanager partition which is at the beginning of the disc. Is this some kind of geometry problem ? |

| #3 | fixed | user reports SMART does not work... | ||
| Description |
Does the current driver have any support for SMART monitoring software to monitor drive status. A user reported in os2.org forum it does not work. I don't know what software he used, the build in IBM smart monitor tool or one from the danis506.add driver. I did ask him which tool he used. |

| #2 | fixed | Hard disc not found on Thinkpad T510 | ||
| Description |
We tested the driver on a Thinkpad T510. In LVM the disc was not shown. However the machine was able to boot from CD and that all worked. The hard disc showed up in LVM discmanager by adding the /R option to the driver. Its an Intel disc controller chipset ID 3B2F. |
