Fix: This is caused by the wrong AIC7870.ADD driver. It is possible that you skipped one of the steps where the driver and CONFIG.SYS are updated either manually or by using the UPDATE.EXE utility. Issue 6: After the first auto-reboot during the file and print installation section the system may stop with an error when loading drivers in CONFIG.SYS the error will read like this "Invalid path specified in line xy c:\cid\...". Fix: This error usually occurs because the CD-ROM driver is not present in CONFIG.SYS. Reboot the system. When the white box appears in at the upper left portion of the screen, press Alt and F1 keys simultaneously. A screen of options appears. Press the key to boot the system to the command prompt. Edit CONFIG.SYS and add the embedded SCSI driver to enable the CD-ROM for example: BASEDEV=AIC7870.ADD Issue 7: After Installing OS/2 2.11 for SMP on a Hewlett-Packard NetServer LS the system hangs and traps intermittently. Fix: If you have a dual-processor card installed, edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the root directory of the hard drive where OS/2 is installed. (Note that this only applies to systems with a dual processor card installed.) Change the line: PSD=OS2APIC.PSD to: PSD=OS2APIC.PSD /APIC Issue 8: After completing the OS/2 installation on a NetServer E40, the CD-ROM can not be accessed by the system. Also, when you open the Drives object folder the CD-ROM object is not present. It is possible that during installation you did not select "Non-Listed IDE CD-ROM" as recommended in the installation procedure. You can resolve this issue by editing CONFIG.SYS to add the following line and then rebooting the system. BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT Tip 9) How to View the Resources Used by an Adapter The Navigator CD-ROM version G.00.10 or greater has a utility that will display the resources used by an adapter. Use the following procedure to get the resource listing: 1) Boot Navigator CD-ROM 2) Select "Configuration Assistant" 3) Select "Custom Configuration" 6

Reboot the system. When the white box appears in at the upper left portion of the screen, press
