New kernels (1015) on IBM's testcase site

2001-10-18 19:40:16 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS]

IBM has new SMP, UNI and W4 kernels available on their testcase FTP site - ftp://testcase.boulder.ibm.com/ps/fromibm/os2/
smp1015.zip
smp1015d.zip
uni1015.zip
uni1015d.zip
w41015.zip
w41015d.zip

The xxxxxxd.zip archives are debug kernels. These replacement kernels are for post MCP/ACP/W4F15/eCS systems. Installation instructions and a listing of new features and fixes are included in the readme file included with each archive. Also note that these kernels contain a new CLOCK01.SYS. Please read the readme for details on how to use this.

There are also new versions of SES - ses1015.zip and files for the system Dump Formatting df1015.zip available in the same directory.

As always these are not officially supported by IBM unless they tell you to use them. Please send any followup to comp.os.os2.bugs on usenet. Also note that files are only on IBM's testcase for 2-3 days, so if you want to try these get them now. Make certain you back up any files replaced and don't try these on a production system. You have been warned. There is already a post on comp.os.os2.bugs about someone having a TRAP on boot with one of these new kernels. The SMP1015 kernel booted fine here on my eCS 1.0 test machine.

eCStacy Returns after month shutdown

2001-10-17 00:31:40 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.com, piggy]

eCStacy Returns after month shutdowneCStacy
(http://www.ecomstation.org)
has returned (in a more socially acceptable form)

There are now discussion forums online and everyone is invited to participate and help each other out.

We are still needing volunteers to participate with the upkeep and addition of new features of the site. We want to add software reviews, a searchable device driver archive that users are able to submit drivers themselves, more boot logos, more desktop backgrounds, bi-weekly articles on anything useful: java, installation of eCS, system customization, programming, tips and tricks. Please email to volunteer or if you have any ideas for the site. This isn't to be a personal site anymore. Let's make the eCS / OS/2 we wished existed.

AC 97 and VIA chipset

2001-10-17 00:23:03 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [www.os2.org, Roderick Klein]

VIA is working on a new version of drivers

Some people have contacted me about this driver, asking what the status was. Well VIA released a driver about 1 or 1/2 half years ago. This driver worked in a few cases but was for the rest a disaster (sorry if developers read this). For eComStation I'm working on collecting drivers and getting a license to include them. The VIA driver also has my attention and I have contacted VIA and past along the bugs which where documented in the patch on hobbes. I also had a lot of cases where there was no sound. Or system sounds where played to fast. Also with playing a video file I got a trap. I past al this information along. Last week I was told they where working on a new version.

All I can say, lets hope it has improved and keep an eye on www.via.com.tw. When it will be released I don't know. BTW: Does somebody out there have a VIA motherboard with a BUILD ON nic chipset from VIA. I have drivers that need testing.

Junkbuster is a powerful web proxy that filters out unwanted web content like advertisements, cookies, snoopy javascript, etc. Recent improvements include things like improved HTTP 1.1 support and popup suppression.
