 [VOICENWS] SW: UPDATE: eCS 2.2 DVD relea 
 25 Mar 13 17:57:49 
 
Mar 2013 20:51:11 -0400
time has 1 bug
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++ 

From: rwkleinDESPAM@DESPAMmensys.nl

A few dozen people downloaded the eCS 2.2 beta English DVD ISO from the
Mensys server. We had to withdraw the ISO at 22:30 Amsterdam time. 
Booting from DVD the ISO works without any error. However on boot from
hard disc the wrong 2 USB drivers are installed.
The files USBOHCD.SYS and USBEHCD.SYS where not updated 1 pack file.
This could result in problems with USB devices and slow boots.
At 23:15 we released a new ISO with the proper version of the drivers
in place. 
If your ISO is effected by this please check the file:  

\ECS\ecs_inst.flg on the DVD it mentions:  

eComStation 2.2_beta EN_US Mon Mar 25 02:19:05 pm 2013  

In the new released eCS 2.2 beta the file has this information it:  

eComStation 2.2_beta EN_US Mon Mar 25 10:21:02 pm 2013  

If you have the effected ISO you can also boot from the DVD and open a
command prompt and from the ramdrive (normaly drive Z:) copy usb*.sys
to bootdrive:\os2\boot. That way your boot on hard disc will be up to
date with the proper drivers.  

Boot from the DVD is not affected!  


Sorry for the inconvience  

Best regards,
