*40605.zip

This contains fixes since xr_e002/xr_m015/mcp/acp. Important note: If you use
the OS/2 SES facility, you need a new sesdd32.sys dated April 2001 or later
to use this kernel. Also, a matching dump formatter (df_ret.exe), provided
separately, is required, if you want to analyze a dump from this kernel.
Finally, note that os2ldr is only required for the >64mb memory detection
mentioned below.

New function:
1) Support for >64m memory using int15 func e820. Note, this support is
enabled ONLY for Intel Pentium Pro or later, or non-Intel Pentium-class
machines. This is done in an effort to prevent problems on older PCs.
2) The presence of os2bootos2norev.$$$ suppresses the display of
internal revision during boot.
3) Adding "EARLYMEMINIT=TRUE" to config.sys will allow device drivers, etc.,
access to the memory above 16mb early in boot. Previously, this was only
available after DD and IFS init was completed. This has various
implications when enabled:
a) AHA154X.ADD may do bad things to your system. Don't even askb
b) There may be some settings of HPFS386 cache that are incompatible.
4) Trap messages will now give the module name instead of the device name.
For example, "Exception in module: CLOCK01" instead of "Exception in
Device Driver: CLOCK$".
***change from 0220/0223: Traps in 32 bit code now show the modname, too
5) Systems with a 486SX chip running FP15 will function correctly. Note,
they will NOT work with ACP or (necessarily) on MCP.
6) SESDD32 will now work correctly (I hope) for both uni and smp

Bug Fixes:
Fixes from earlier "dated" kernels:
Fixed a trap 000d in w_OpenCreate (140:4dfd or so in uni/w4 krnls, don't
have regs for SMP). This was a post mcp/acp regression
Fixed strange loader i/o problems specific to the 0111 kernel.
Fixed a bootup sys31xx problem specific to the 0123 kernel.
Fixed a problem that was (I think) specific to Janauary uni & W4 kernels

which resulted in odd ring 3 (maybe ring 0?) traps and hangs
Fixed some trap and other peculiar problems specific to the 0206 kernel.
Those were the result of a build problem.
Fixed some trap and other problems specific to the 0220/0223 kernels
Fixed a regression from JR15038 that caused a trap in CWBBS.IFS and
PCSFLR0.IFS (AS/400 shared folders access).
Fixed a regression in the 0330 kernel that messed up getting procdumps
Fixed a regression in the 0416 kernel that caused some hangs and also
affected APM
Fixed a regression in the 0502 kernel that prevented booting altogether or
caused other very bad problems.
Fixed a regression in the 0502/0503 kernels that caused some odd trap d/e's
in the scheduling code
Don't use the 0601 kernels.


Fixes to problems that exist in released code:
JR15494: Delayed response of Ctrl-C or Ctrl-S (pause) in os/2 windows
JR15405: (probably) DosQueryAsyncTimer fails on timecritical thread after
mscount rolls over after 49.7 days of uptime
JR15030: TRAPDUMP QUERY doesn't show PD (needs a new trapdump.exe, too)
JR13335: Some VDMs won't run, complaining of too-long command lines
JR15194: XCOPY fails with SYS1186 or SYS1192 on (at least) MO drives
JR15038: Trap 8 in h_DeviceHelpDM running an app from a tcpbeui drive
JR15229: Files left open after ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES returned to app
PJ27700: SMP systems may get a trap 000e in _tkStopScan, particularly
during a procdump operation.
PJ27676: Causes hangs on some systems running UNI or W4 kernels
PJ27554: Hang or (on allstrict) trap 3 on SMP (only) during beeps
PJ27678: SMP kernels could not be RIPL-booted. As part of this, there is
a new config.sys parameter I13PAGES= available. Adding I13PAGES=1
to config.sys (note, no SET) reduces the memory usage of the mini
VDM processes used by ibm1s506.add and the GRADD drivers. This
becomes important in RIPL-boot situations. It may be helpful for
UNI RIPL boot, as well.
PJ27677: SMP systems hang with multiple threads of same process
entering a critical section (affects ADSM client)
PJ27757: Trap 000e running Theseus/4 (note, theseus4.exe may still end up
with a sys3175, but at least the system doesn't crash).
PJ27736: Trap in _PLD_WriteReturnCode
PJ27777: Set BEGINLIBPATH= (in config.sys ONLY) may be ignored. Also,
it would lead to a bogus copy of BEGINLIBPATH= in the environment.
;PJ27821: Trap 000e in SchedNextRet2 on some APM-enabled machines
; *removed as of 0508 -- original fix caused regressions. new fix
; on hold, for now
PJ27906: Trap 000e in pvwRegKrnlInstance running SPM/2 (may also cause
unknown odd behavior in other performance monitors).
PJ27919: Complete system hang running some apps (same as JR12136)
PJ27544: Panic in SwitchNPX
PJ27972: trap 000e in _SecExecPost (the actual fix is in ses0604 or later)
PJ27952: DosFindFirst returns incorrect returncode for various bufsizes
when querying extended attributes
