==================================================================
During the installation of OS/2 2.1 the process hangs after the
first reboot, (DISK #5).
==================================================================
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
Workaround is to reinstall OS/2 2.1 using a Response file.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
WARNING: All installation selections must be made in the Response
file BEFORE the installation begins.
1. Copying the Response file to Diskette #1.
a. To copy the response file onto a diskette,
you must make some modifications to Diskette 1.
These modifications make room on the diskette
for the response file.
b. Make a copy of Diskette #1. You will modify
the copy.(Ex. DISKCOPY A: B:)
c. Make extra room on the copy of Diskette #1
by deleting files that will not be needed
in a response file installation:
1) Delete the MOUSE.SYS file from the copy of Diskette 1.
2) Delete the SYSINST2.EXE file from the copy of
Diskette #1.
3) Delete the BUNDLE file from the copy of Diskette #1.
4) If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a Micro Channel(*)
computer, delete the following file from your copy of
Diskette #1:
DEL IBM1*.ADD
5) If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a non-Micro Channel
computer, delete the following files from your copy of
Diskette #1:
DEL IBM2*.ADD
DEL *02.SYS
d. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file that exists on
the copy of Diskette #1.
1) Change the SET OS2_SHELL statement
from: SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE
to: SET OS2_SHELL=RSPINST.EXE A:\OS2SE21.RSP
2) Delete the following statement:
DEVICE=\MOUSE.SYS
3) If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a Micro Channel
computer, delete the following statements from the
CONFIG.SYS file on your copy of Diskette #1:
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
4) If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a non-Micro Channel
computer, delete the following statements from the
CONFIG.SYS file on your copy of Diskette #1:
BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2SCSI.ADD
e. Unpack the SAMPLE.RSP from disk#13, This file is in
directory REQUIRED.
Pg 2
UNPACK A:REQUIRED /N:SAMPLE.RSP) to the copy of diskette #1.
f. Use an editor (such as the System Editor) to modify and
save the file. The file contains comments that explain
each of the installation options.(Default setting has
worked fine in all cases)
g. Copy the modified response file to the copy you made of
Diskette #1. Use the name OS2SE21.RSP when you copy
the file.
EX. COPY SAMPLE.RSP A:OS2SE21.RSP
h. Copy the RSPINST.EXE file (located in DISK#7 under
directory REQUIRED
UNPACK A:REQUIRED /N:RSPINST.EXE)
to the copy of Diskette #1.
2. Begin the installation of the workstation by inserting the
Installation Diskette and restarting the system.
3. When prompted for Diskette #1, insert the
modified copy of Diskette #1, and press Enter.
4. From this point, the installation program will
prompt only for the insertion of diskettes. No
other installation screens will appear.
5. When prompted to insert Diskette #1
again, insert the original copy of Diskette #1.
NOTE: This procedure can be used to install the same
set of options on multiple workstations. Using
a response file, you can make sure that a group
of workstations is set up with the same set of
options and HARDWARE
