Thanks Uwe for your time.

Hello Mike,

reading this I would strongly recommend to send a trouble report to Dani. Her docs say what she needs to process it efficiently. She promptly follows up correctly documented trouble reports.

Regards
Uwe

Sir:

There is one other possibility and that is the local shared resources is/are not starting. I went onto that box just to find out and I discovered that I had disabled starting the local share when I switched over to using TCPbeui as it was the boot partition (I deleted the share and not seen the dialog in three boots today). SMB over TCP is TCPbeui, as in Netbios over TCP/IP. Firewalls only affects TCP/IP. If you are using NETbeui, aka Netbios, then the firewall is not part of the problem.

Turns out this issue with the new 1.8.1 version is more pervasive than I thought! I suddenly discovered that on ANY box of any kind on which it is installed, if there is no actual hard drive on the IDE cable, then the problem seems to be that no CD-ROM there is actually found during the boot up run.

Now on my R40 laptop, the hard disk and boot run completes. On it I don't know at this point if the CD-RW is found or not. As well, on an ASUS box with an AMD processor and IDE drive in a mobile drive tray, the IDE main drive for the box is found. However both the CD-ROM and a DVD in it are missing after the boot run!

The main box with the SCSI system an only the CD-ROM as the single IDE device on that cable has no CD-ROM after boot up .. leading to the share missing error during the requester startup. On another SCSI system with only a CD-ROM as the only device on that IDE interface on its Intel 915GAVL motherboard doesn't get found at all either.

At any rate, for the moment I'm back on Dani's 1.7.10 release of February of 2007 which is where all this was prior to the attempted latest release upgrade. Which works fine for all here for the moment.

I'd welcome other thoughts here from you or whomever. I really don't want to formally go towards Dani's realm until I can do so with only the right data and so on. Her time is far too valuable as to the contribution she has made to us all here with OS/2 to waste on information that really doesn't contribute to whatever is missing. I'd like to find someone else who sees this as well before focusing on what to present.

Thanks!


At this point after a long number of hours of research, the issue has nothing to do with Dani's work. You might wade through my respone to Peter Brown which details this.

I still haven't finished the research relative to what might go wrong if the /!SCSI command option where not done on actual SCSI systems. As well as I still have not finished my research on the IBM ThinkPad issues here with the complex use of USB external hard drive use and floppy diskette boot up mode if needed.

But before I file anything with Dani I want to be as sure as I can that there is something actually there that is wrong.

Thanks again for your time and thoughts.
