   [VOICENWS] SW: Status of eCS 2.2 beta   
   30 Mar 13 16:08:07   
   
   Apr 2013 16:08:35 -0400   
   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: rwkleinDESPAM@DESPAMmensys.nl   
      
   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.
