- Is there available a list of the error codes for OS/2?
- One of the things I've always hated about IBM is the way they
- report things like "sys01475" with absolutely no clue what that
- really means. Even a short string like "invalid boot block" or
- something would be useful.
-
- For example, this morning my machine wouldn't boot - at the point where
- the boot manager usually takes over, the machine simply said:
-
- OS/2 !! Sys01475
- OS/2 !! Sys02027
-
- How useful! (NOT!)
-
- I was about to start a re-install, and in the process discovered that
- a non-bootable floppy was in drive A:. Why didn't OS/2 boot manager
- just SAY that???
-
- In any case, a list of errors and at least a terse explanation of their
- meaning would be very useful.
-
- Thanks,
- Bill
