Hi Tom
I am struggling with the similar problems ;-(

Just got finished my 2nd system (with 1MB RAM too, for experimental
purpose =

and was not able to install MCP 4.52 because it always trapped with an =

000e / OS2KRNL ;-((

This 2nd system is a component identical system to my first system
except =

the mobo's. While the elder system has an:

ABIT KT7-RATD with an AMD Athlon TB 1.3GHz
the newest has an =

ABIT KT7A-RAID with an AMD Athlon XP 1800+

Currently there is one more difference ! The newer one has:

2 x 512MB CAS2 PC133 Crucial RAM modules
where the elder one has
2 x 256MB CAS2 PC133 Crucial RAM modules

Something very very curious happened just now:

Where MCP 4.52 wasn't applicable ...
=2E.. the OLDIE Warp Version 4 from 1996 with the newest =

installation diskettes worked ;-))

BTW: I do not hope that my, there are 3 pcs, newer MoBo's =

aren't good because I wanted to get all our 3 systems =

component identical to easen driver maintenance ;-|

Regards, svobi

Subject: SCOUG-Help: 1 GB RAM not recognized

I have just upgraded my RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB, but eCS (1.03) does
not =

recognize the addition. The Motherboard is a Tyan Tiger MP S2460 with
a =

single Athlon 1.2 GHz cpu. It has Phoenix BIOS. I does not seem to have =

any OS/2 64 MB setting in the BIOS. The BIOS does show that it has 1 GB =

of RAM.

I have used Alt-F1 and selected full hardware detection. SysInfo (v =

0.8.20) still reports only 512 MB RAM. I am running the 14.093c Warp
kernel.

I have see this problem discussed in the past, but I can't remember =

where or find it again.

Any ideas as to how to get eCS to recognize the second 512 MB of RAM?

Thanks!
