[Discussion] eCS 2.0 GA install Quirks

[D Burch]

I found an old IBM Thinkcenter mainboard, put 2GB ram and P4 3.0 gHz 
CPU, ASUD AH3450 AGP 8X video.

It runs through a IoGear DVI KVM to my monitor Sharp Aquos 32"TV), 
Logitech wireless USB mouse and keyboard.

It took a couple of tries to get the install to complete. This mainboard 
is ACPI compliant, but 2.0 did not install by default. Although the 
mouse and keyboard were active during the install,  once the WPS loaded, 
no mouse or keyboard. Just a croak from the sound card and nothing.
So I reinstalled, formatted the partition and turned on ACPI.
I also found it strange that SNAP was not the default video. Snap 
identified my Sharp HDMI TV and gives more resolution options.
Otherwise I let eCS take care of the rest of the install.

Now I am to the point where this system appears to be usable but:
No network connectivity. Everything installed, DHCP monitor confirms a 
BOUND state on lan0, but no action. I can see the ECS machine through 
the router utility on my Mac. Now if I try to release the lease 
everything locks up. If I try to look at the firewall utility everything 
locks up or at least the mouse and keyboard are dead.
I just got telephone TV, so I have a telco router then a D-Link router 
that has a coax outlet and my network outlets. This did not affect my 
Mac, so I do not think it should affect OS/2 - should it?  

I can disable APM but not ACPI in the mainboard -  that I can see in the 
bios.

Any thoughts out there on where I can go with this?

I am going to step back and install Warp 4.52 just to see how much of of 
this grief is due to eCS overheads and enhancements. One thing I always 
liked about OS/2 was the ability to take the drive almost anywhere and 
have it run.

Thanks
