Don't delay posting of bug-reports to the developers of device drivers.

Here is the list of all bug-trackers: http://ecomstation.ru/projects/support/?action=bug-tracker



Several significant barriers:

1) eComStation can access 512 Mb of RAM only (altough you have installed 2 Gb
or 4 Gb).

This problem occurs on modern computers (Intel Core i3/i5/i7, UEFI
motherboards, B57 chipset, etc.)

One of reports: http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=3312

Do you have this problem? Post information about your computer model.

Is it possible influence on this problem via BIOS setup?



2) Do you have troubles with video?

* For example, you can activate 1440x900x65536 video mode, but
1440x900xTrueColor shows trash on the screen. Solution: (no solution)

* Modern NVidia video adapters: You can activate needed video mode (larger than
1680x1050) but the quality of picture is poor (16:9 monitors; you see flashing
/ the picture is smaller than the dimension of the screen)

Solution: NVidia DVI Scale filter -- Panorama VESA homepage



3) AHCI driver (SATA driver):

* Does it work for you?

* Does SSD drive work with this driver?

* Did you had a crash of system which couldn't be recovered?

(JFS filesystem, "OS/2 is unable to boot").



Collect more information (version of driver) and post to the bug-tracker. This
problem may relate to JFS driver or AHCI driver.

Notes: This message is aimed to recall the links to the bug-trackers, gather
users with similar problems, combine detailed bug-reports and attract the
attention of the developers to critical problems.
