Now for the details.
Do not install a sound driver, it will not work either. However, you do
want the multimedia support so that UniAud can be added later. I tried
UniAud 1.9.3, but it seems to hang when populating the desktop. I then
copied in the working uniaud16.sys from eCS 2.0 w/ACPI installed, and it
hung opening the WPS as well. I suspect an IRQ issue. I commented out
the uniaud drivers and was able to boot normally. Suggestions welcome.
For now - use Uniaud 1.9.2 for HDA devices - works fine and no hangs here. The code that make it work is a kludge though that breaks other non-HDA devices.
Still working on a solution for 1.9.4 that will work on all devices.
Cheers,
Paul.
Thanks for the tip. Got in a tight loop on the first re-boot, but the next re-boot seemed to clear it up.
Chuck, your directions imply the availability of a floppy device. What about for those who do not have a docking station available? I'm thinking that the only fix would be to modify the CD image and re-burn.
USB floppy is the easiest solution.
I was under the impression that we lost control over the USB port at that point, but I guess that early on, it's BIOS-controlled (no drivers loaded yet).
