OSINETHE - OS/2 WARP FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION LOCKS UP WITH NE2000 CARD
IN SYSTEM
01/29/96
=======================================================================
OS/2 Warp for Windows Installation Locks Up with
NE2000 Card in System
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
During installation of OS/2 Warp for Windows in a system with an NE2000
adapter set for port 300, the system locks up.
RESOLUTION
Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.
Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following statement ahead of any
other BASEDEV statements:
BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /IO:300,10
Note: For OS/2 Warp, the statement is:
BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /IO:300,32
For OS/2 Warp Fullpack, it is:
BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /IO:300,20
This reserves I/O port 300 for the NE2000 adapter.
The problem occurs when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del from DOS to install
OS/2. The card is still ON from the DOS session. If you perform a
shutdown and restart the system before installing OS/2, the system will
not lock up.
