OSINCYRX - PS/2 8580 W/ CYRIX UPGRADE LOCKS UP DURING OS/2 WARP INSTALL
02/07/96
=======================================================================
PS/2 8580 with Cyrix Upgrade Locks Up during OS/2 Warp Installation
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When the OS/2 Warp 3.0 Installation program prompts for Diskette 1, the
OS/2 logo appears with the message, "Loading Please Wait." The screen
then turns blank, the cursor goes to the top-left corner, and the
diskette-drive light stays on. The system appears to be locked up.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work. You must turn the system off.
The system is a PS/2 8580 with a Cyrix 486DX 20/40 MHz processor, 16 MB
of RAM, 4 MB on the system board, and two memory cards, one with 4 MB
and one with 8 MB. Both cards have 85-ns single in-line memory modules
(SIMMs).
RESOLUTION
This is a hardware problem.
1. Turn on the system, or press Ctrl+Alt+Del if it is already on.
2. When the small white box appears in the upper-left corner, press
Alt+F2.
A list of the drivers that were loaded appears. OS2DASD.DMD was the
last driver loaded and installed. The cursor then went to the
upper-left corner and the system locked up.
3. Turn off the system; then remove the 4 MB and 8 MB cards.
4. Turn on the system and continue with the installation.
With the 8 MB card removed, the system can bypass the problem and
complete the installation.
