SYMPTOMS
If you upgrade from IBM OS/2 2.1 workstation to OS/2 2.1.1 using IBM's
service pack XR6200 and try to reboot the workstation you receive:
SYS1719 error, invalid file system or device driver
CAUSE
Microsoft Product Support Services recommends that you reinstall the
Microsoft LAN Manager client software after upgrading to IBM OS/2 2.1.
When this is done, the Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2a Client or LAN Manager
2.2b Upgrade installs the NETWKSTA.SYS driver intended for OS/2 1.3
clients instead of the version for OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 2.1.1.
RESOLUTION
Use this procedure to get the correct driver on the client:
- Use DECOMP to decompress the NETWKSTA.SY$ file from the WKSTA20
subdirectory (on Disk #1 of the 2.2b patch, or Disk #2 (LMOS2WRKST1)
of the 2.2a client software) and copy it into c:\lanman\netprog,
replacing the NETWKSTA.SYS that is already there. Here is the command:
Decomp A:\wksta20\netwksta.sy$ c:\lanman\netprog\netwksta.sys
- Change the OS2VER file located in the root directory:
From: 20=netwksta.200 To: 20=netwksta.sys
Before you can edit the file, you must remove its attributes. Make
sure you add them back on before re-booting the workstation.
- to remove: attrib -s -r -h OS2VER
- to add them back on: attrib +s +r +h OS2VER
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager 2.2a and 2.2b
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
