That the danis506.add IDE driver is not working on some old systems. It
has received maintenance to fix some bugs that have been reported and
that broke some stuff it seems. If you have not done so yet, please
report a bug in the bug tracker. Also check the eComStation bugtracker
if the defect you have is already open. Thats saves us some time!
In broad lines the following issue's have been found and are being
worked on.
* On some older systems the DANIS506.ADD driver does not see the CD ROM
and/or HDD. Regression in the code needs to befixed.
* Some systems the OS2AHCI driver does not show the hard disc or you
get an LVM error. Both items are under research and if the people that
reported the problem can follow the instructions we will be posting in
the bugs over the next couple of days we should be able to fix these
issue.
* On some systems the USB driver don't work. eCS 2.2 ship with new USB
host controller drivers and new mouse and keyboard drivers. Again over
the next couple of days we will we will post information that we hope will follow to we can debug these
issue's. Again remote stuff remotely is not easy but we will make it as
easy as possible.
One benefit compared to the IBM USB driver is that the new USB drivers
contain tracing facilities
Its of no use to release a new beta RIGHT now. But the problem with
Genmac not installing correctly with the beta has been resolved and the
fix in CVS. Also the some problems in the NAPS GUI (MPTS replacement)
and the CUPS wizard are partly/are being worked on. So your bug reports
are useful! But some bugs take more time to fix then others.
The problem with OS2AHCI and LVM not working is already being looked in. So please stay tuned to your mailbox for feedback from our techteam. And as always
when possible provide \var\log\instlog.zip. That is a treasure room for us with
information.
