give the blinking cursor time

Post #103,568 by SpiceWare 5/26/03 8:36:20 PM Reply	give the blinking cursor time Dunno why, but on my new hardware it pauses 60+ seconds after the blinking cursor shows up and before the eCS boot blob. I would never have thought to wait, but received a phone call during one installation attempt. When I came back the eCS 1.0 installation screen was up and ready to go. It's annoying, but livable. I've heard that eCS 1.1 might correct the pause but have been too busy to install it.

The trick seems to be to use Standard IDE instead of Enhanced, and selecting the Generic Int13 from the advanded options menu from the boot CD. I've also determined that I need to use the OEM driver for the Realtek LAN card. The one listed at [link\|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True\|http://www.realtek.c...=16&Software=True] under the heading for OS/2 doesn't work, but the one from the OEM disk (listed just above OS/2) does. I'm working on getting the network protocols straightened out now. I don't need NetBIOS and I have to find a way to add Netware support without screwing everything else up. I figure about 6 more install attempts and I'll have it together. ;-)

The driver off the RealTek website(V3.23 7/28/99) would lock up the system during the boot sequence. I tracked down a newer driver(v3.23vk 8/9/02) at [link\|http://pws.prserv.net/mckinnis/nicpak\|Chuck McKinnis' NICPAK page] and cleared up that problem. I see there's an even newer RealTek driver now.
