That's good and expected.

> MBR crc 054b4eb9 : cce185ed = IBM OS/2 LVM or W4 from FP9, I13X

Is this after running

lvm /newmbr:1

I'm having a little trouble keeping all the threads with different
subjects in time order.

This is all pretty much was I would expect if some part of the boot chain
is not int13x aware.

>1-Why doesn't eCS accept IBM's word when they say this lates BIOS

Because that's not all that required, but you already know this.
Everything in the boot chain must support int13x. BIOS, MBR, BM and the
partition boot code.

A job for a different thread.

Steven
