OS2-4 Installation problem

Post by ruthan »

Hello,
i have created P200,64MB machine, S3 Virge, SB16,Inteli mouse, in BIOS i enabled OS2 option.

But i have problem with installation - i have floppy disk 1, 2 and install floppy image + CD iso.

I created 8 GB HDD.

I have 2 problems:
- Disk partition menu, not working, i select operation - hit enter and nothing.
- When i continue with setup, im stuck at Floppy copy files process CARDinfo file...

Managed someone install OS2- v4 with PCem?

S3 Trio64 is probably the best for OS/2 at the moment. PCem supports two of these - 'Number Nine 9FX' and 'Phoenix S3 Trio64'.

I have tried applicate S3 Trio driver later, but selective install, but its stuck in boot proccess.. I downloaded some S3 trio OS/2 driver, but i cant install it, because there is not profile file.. Maybe its for other version of OS/2.. I really dont know too much about OS2-v4 i just wanted to try it.

OS/2 Warp 4 has the Trio64 drivers built-in, you shouldn't need to download any drivers for it.

I know that Trio driver is build-in, but its not working for me, so i tried to apply drivers from web - but i dont know how.. If someone has S3 Trio working with OS/2 Wrap, i need some help how to do it.. Because as i wroten, i simply selection S3 trio in PCem configuration, started OS/2 warp installation and selected S3 trio in wizzard.. - after reboot im stuck at black screen, when i tried S3 virge and in wizzard selected SVGA i got boot but with 640x480x16 only and i cant change it in configuration..
Problem could be elsewhere with virge i tried SB 16 with and SB Awe 32 noPnP - but i doubt it.
