When installing OS/2 SMP 4.0 using ServerGuide the following error message could be displayed:

       "SYS1919: The file x:\CID\LOCINSTU\SRVREXX.EXE specified
        in the run statement on line yy of the CONFIG.SYS does
        not contain a valid program. Line yy is ignored."

Where x is the CD-ROM driver and yy is a line number in the CONFIG.SYS file.

•  The system is any of the following IBM servers:

          a Netfinity 7000-M10 server, Type 8680, any Model.
          a Netfinity 7000 server, Type 8651, any Model.

          a Netfinity 5000 server, Type 8659, any Model.
          a Netfinity 3500 server, Type 8644, any Model.
          a Netfinity 3000 server, Type 8476, any Model.
          a Netfinity 1000 server, Type 8477, any Model.
   

•  The system is configured with ServerGuide's SoftwareGuide CD.
•  The system is configures with OS/2 SMP 4.0.

WORKAROUND:

While installing OS/2 SMP, in the "System Configuration" screen, change the default value ( OTHER ) of the "CD-ROM Device Support" section to the CD-ROM driver installed in your system.
You can change this value as follow:

1.  Click on the "CD-ROM Device Support" section.
2.  A list of all CD-ROMs available will be displayed.
3.  From that list select the CD-ROM in your system

   Note: If your CD-ROM is not listed and your system has an IDE CD-ROM select the "Non-listed IDE CD-ROM".

DETAILS:

This is a limitation in OS/2 SMP 4.0.
This version sometimes can not automatically detect the newest CD-ROMs drives and in order to successfully install OS/2 SMP 4.0 the CD-ROM has to be manually selected.
