First, I added two lines to the config.sys from an Adaptec readme, basedev=aicj78u2.add, and a line CopyFromFloppy=1 (i wouldnever have thought of that second one). Then I remmed out all then "basedev=" lines relating to drivers I had to delete from Disk 1 to make room for the 78u2 driver. Now things have gone through, and I am engaging in the usual familiar Warp4 installation process. Thanks for your suggestions and help. Clyde Stauffer

I guess I must not miss that chunk all that much since I forgot about it. The CopyFromFloppy will change from where the installer gets the BASEDEVs that get onto your boot partition. Without it, after the first part of the install, the system will not boot from HD. Luckily, there is an easy fix: Do the BootDisk/Disk1/Disk2 shuffle, hit F3 at the right screen to get to the OS/2 prompt, and use xcopy to get the correct .ADD files onto your HD. You should also be able to use TEDIT if you need to fix your CONFIG.SYS. I hope the rest of the install goes smoothly. Mike
Post #37,901 by cestauffer 5/8/02 9:24:45 AM Reply	Re: DOH! Yes, it did. Then I went to "LVMize" the Warp installation, and things got screwed up. (Alan Beagley over on ecomstation.support.lvm gave same simple instructions for enabling Warp4 to see LVM volumes.) The weird part -- the instructions worked fine on my current machine. Warp can now see my eCS partitions. When I did exactly the same on the new machine, it wouldn't boot into Warp. Do new computers now come equipped with built-in gremlins. But thanks for your help on the one problem. Clyde Stauffer
Post #38,809 by jake123 5/15/02 2:31:35 PM Reply	Did you apply any fixes to it? There are dependencies on having fixpack 13+ installed before LVMising warp 4 will work. I'd move directly to fp15 and then try again.
