1.0 Introduction
================
This READ.ME file contains tips on how to handle some situations
you might encounter during installation or initial use of your DVD-ROM
option kit.
For problems with the CDSETUP device driver installation utility,
consult the CDSETUP.HLP help file on this diskette.
Note: The software included in this option kit does not enable the
DVD-ROM drive's playback capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.X, OS/2,
or Linux operating systems. Device drivers for these operating systems
are included on this diskette to allow you to access the drive's
CD-ROM functions only.
2.0 UDF-formatted disks (CD-RW read compatibility)
==================================================
If you cannot access a CD-RW disk that is in the DVD-ROM drive in
your computer, you may need to install the UDF Reader component
to allow reading UDF-formatted discs in these drives. In most
cases you will not have this problem. However, if this is not
the case, please read on.
You may be able to download a free UDF Reader program for this
purpose from the following Internet web site:
http://www.adaptec.com/products/overview/udfreaders.html

3.0 Windows 95/98 Device Driver Conflicts
==========================================
If your system hangs or you cannot access your DVD-ROM drive after
running CDSETUP or manually adding IBMIDECD.SYS to your CONFIG.SYS
file, you may have a device driver conflict. Try removing or
remarking out the "DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS..." line in CONFIG.SYS
and rebooting your system to determine if this solves the problem.
If this corrects the problem and you still want to access your
drive from real-mode DOS, do the following:
1) Copy IBMIDECD.SYS to the root directory.
2) Right-click on the Windows Desktop
3) Click on "New" and "Shortcut"
4) For the command line parameter, type "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND"
5) Click ("Next" and) "Finish". Windows 95/98 will create a new
"MS-DOS Prompt" icon for you.
6) Right-click on the new icon
7) Click "Properties", "Program", and "Advanced"
8) Select "MS-DOS Mode"
9) Select "Specify a new MS-DOS Configuration"
10) Type "DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD100 /I:1" in the CONFIG.SYS
section.
11) Type "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IBMCD100" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
section.
12) Click on "OK" and "OK".
When you double-click on the icon created by the above procedure, your
computer will reboot to MS-DOS and you will be able to access your
DVD-ROM drive from a real-mode DOS session.
4.0 Windows 95 and Intel 82371XX IDE Controllers
================================================
Some versions of Windows 95 will not recognize the DVD-ROM drive when
connected to the secondary port of an Intel 82371SB or Intel 82371AB
IDE Controller. To determine if your system has this problem, look
at the Windows 95 Device Manager:
Right-button click on "My Computer"
Click on Device Manager
Double-click on Hard Disk Controllers
If you see the following, your system may have this problem:
Hard Disk Controllers
-Primary IDE Controller (single FIFO)
-Standard Dual PCI IDE Controller
-Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller
You can solve this problem by configuring your IDE DVD-ROM drive as a
Slave on the Primary IDE port. If this is not possible or desirable,
you may be able to download corrective software from the following
Internet web site:
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/IDEINFUP.HTM

5.0 Windows NT and 65XX Models
==============================
On some IBM 65XX models with Windows NT 4.0 preloaded, the IDE DVD-ROM
drive may not be accessible after installing the drive and booting the
system.
The error may be seen in IBM PC models preloaded with Windows NT 4.0
but not preinstalled with an IDE DVD-ROM drive. The error is only seen
when the DVD-ROM drive is installed after the first boot of the
operating system.
The following, or similar error message is displayed after clicking on
the CD-ROM icon:
"Drive D:\ is inaccessible. The parameter is incorrect."
The error does not occur with retail versions of Windows NT 4.0 or if
the first boot process is completed with the IDE DVD-ROM drive
attached.
This condition can be corrected by either re-installing the operating
system with the IDE DVD-ROM drive installed, or by editing the
Windows NT Registry using the following steps:
WARNING: Editing the Windows NT registry directly may result in
unpredictable errors or system failure. Backup the
system registry before making any changes.
1) Login to the system as a user with "Administrator" rights.
2) Click the "Start" button.
3) Click "Run".
4) Type "REGEDT32" (Ignore quotes) and press OK.
5) Maximize HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine
5a) Double click "SYSTEM"
5b) Double click "CurrentControlSet"
5c) Double click "Enum"
5d) Double click "Root"
5e) Double click "LEGACY_CDFS"
5f) Double click "0000"
6) You should see trees expanded with "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000",
and "Control."
7) Single click "Control" to highlight it
8) In the "Security" menu, click "Permissions".
9) With "Everyone" highlighted, click the down arrow on "Type
of Access."
10) Click on "Full Control"
11) Click "OK"
12) With the key still highlighted, press the "Delete" key on
the keyboard.
13) Click "Yes" to "Do you want to continue the operation"
14) Perform the same "Security" steps for "0000" and
"LEGACY_CDFS."
15) The above steps should remove keys "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000",
and "Control."
16) Shut down and "Restart the computer"
17) The system should reboot with the DVD-ROM drive working
correctly.
6.0 MicroChannel Systems and OS/2 Warp
======================================
If you have a MicroChannel computer such as the PS/2 9577i or PC-750
6886 systems and you use the OS/2 Warp operating system, you will
need to install special IDE device drivers as follows:
1) Copy IBM2IDE.ADD, IBMIDECD.FLT, OS2CDROM.DMD, and CDFS.IFS to
your root directory.
2) Using a text editor, add the following statements to CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=IBM2IDE.ADD
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
DEVICE=\OS2CDROM.DMD
IFS=\CDFS.IFS
In a mixed SCSI/IDE system, the IBM2IDE.ADD statement should
come before the DEVICE=OS2SCSI.DMD statement.
3) Delete or REM out the BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD statement in
CONFIG.SYS
4) Copy the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS from your system reference diskette
to your OS2\BOOT directory. (If you are using OS/2 2.1, these
files should be copied to the OS2 directory.)
5) Shut down and reboot the system.
7.0 OS/2 2.1 Installation
=========================
If you use OS/2 2.1 as your operating system, use the following steps
to configure your IDE DVD-ROM drive. You will need the diskettes that
came with your OS/2 operating system.
1) From the OS2 Desktop, select "OS/2 SYSTEM".
2) Select "SYSTEM SETUP".
3) Select "SELECTIVE INSTALL".
4) Select "CD-ROM DEVICE SUPPORT"; then select "OK".
5) Select "OK".
6) Select "OTHER" from the options; then select "OK".
7) At the System Configuration menu select "OK".
8) At the OS/2 Setup and Configuration menu, select "INSTALL".
9) The Source Directory screen is displayed. If your system was
not preloaded with OS/2, you may need to insert your
installation diskettes into the specified drive at this time.
Select "INSTALL" and follow the instructions on the screen.
10) From the OS/2 Setup and Installation screen, select "OK". DO
NOT shut down and restart your system at this time.
11) Place your IBM IDE CD-ROM Drive Option/Device Driver Diskette
into your diskette drive.
12) From the System Setup screen, select "DEVICE DRIVER INSTALL".
13) At the OS/2 Device Driver Installation screen, verify source and
destination and click "INSTALL".
14) At the Select Device Drivers screen you will be given the
option:
OS/2 2.1 IDE CD-ROM Support for ISA machines
Select this option and click "OK.
15) At the OS/2 Device Driver Installation screen, click "EXIT" and
follow the instructions on the screen. DO NOT shut down the
system at this time.
16) The new version of IBM1S506.ADD was copied to the root
directory. The old version still exists in the OS2 directory.
We recommend that you rename this file to IBM1S506.OLD.
17) Shut down your system and reboot your machine via Ctrl+Alt+Del
to allow the changes to take effect.
8.0 DVD-ROM Installation under Red Hat Linux
============================================
ATTENTION: The MS-DOS utilities you find on this diskette will not apply
under Linux. The term "DVD-ROM" will be referred to as "CD-ROM" for the
remainder of this section.
LIMITATIONS: DVD-ROM file systems are not available with Red Hat versions 5.2
and earlier. It is recommended that the user installs Red Hat 6.0 or
greater. It is also recommend that the user download and compile the latest
stable kernel. Kernels can be obtained from http://www.kernel.org/. The
kernel you are using must be compiled with support for ISA CD-ROMs,
Joilet compliance, and Microsoft file systems with long filename support.
1) Log in as "root".
2) If you are running "Xwindows (X11)", invoke the "linuxconf" in an
"xterm" window.
3) Scroll down to "File systems", then select "Access local drive".
4) The "Local volume" will appear. Click "add".
5) Select the "Base" tab.
a) Type "/dev/cdrom" for the "Partition" option.
b) Select "iso9660" for the "Type" option.
c) Type "/mnt/cdrom" for the "Mount point" option.
6) Select the "Options" tab, and enable the following options:
[x] Read only
[x] Not mount at boot time
7) Click the "Mount" button, answer "YES", then click "OK".
8) Click the "Accept" button. The utility may display "Mount point
does not exist. Do you wish to create it?" If you get this message,
answer "YES" and continue. If you do not get this message then
continue.
9) Click "Quit" under the "Local volume" tab.
10) Click "Quit" on the Linuxconf utility.
11) Click "Activate the changes" under the "Status of the system" tab.
12) Click "YES", and you may view any errors or make changes as needed.
If no error pertains to the CD-ROM, please close the dialog boxes
and leave this menu. Otherwise, read the owners manual for detailed
information concerning the hardware installation of this CD-ROM drive.
If this procedure is performed correctly, the "/etc/fstab" will be modified.
Support for the CD-ROM is now added. You should verify this for yourself by
executing the following command:
# more /etc/fstab [return]
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 exec,dev,suid,ro,noauto 1 1
NOTE: To access the CD-ROM, you will need to "mount" the drive before
you can access it. To do so, perform the following steps:
1) Open the CD-ROM drive drawer and insert your media.
2) Execute "mount /dev/cdrom" to mount the CD-ROM drive.
3) Execute "cd /mnt/cdrom" to change to the directory of the CD-ROM drive.
4) Execute "ls -al" to view the contents of the CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: You should not attempt to eject the drawer of the DVD-ROM drive while
"mounted" and while in the directory "/mnt/cdrom". To eject the media follow
these steps.
1) Execute "cd". This ensures the user has left the directory of the
CD-ROM.
2) Execute "umount /mnt/cdrom" to unmount the CD-ROM drive.
3) Execute "eject". This will eject the CD-ROM tray.
FINAL NOTE: This is the first time IBM has attempted to integrate the
use of a DVD-ROM device with Linux. For now, IBM does not guarantee any
MPEG-2 playback ability under Linux. This may change in the future.
The websites www.redhat.com and www.kernel.org are not controlled
by IBM. Currently, IBM does not officially support Linux operating systems
and will not be able to provide support for Linux related questions
at the Help Center. These notes are provided only as a courtesy for Linux
users. A very thorough explanation of CD-ROM installation can be obtained
from the "HOWTO" pages which came with your distribution of Linux, or
at www.linux.org.
Good luck,
