- INSTALLATION HANGS ON LAST DISKETTE
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOM:
-
- Installation stops and the system hangs on or after either
- Blue Diskette 17 or Salmon Diskette 14. Enough of the system
- is loaded to get to the desktop.
-
- RESOLUTION:
-
- You need to add the VIDEO statements to the CONFIG.SYS on the
- hard disk.
-
- NOTE:
- If you installed your system from a CD-ROM, review step 5
- before beginning.
-
- PROCEDURE:
-
- 1. Insert the Installation diskette in drive A: and press
- Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. If the keyboard is
- locked up, turn the system off, then turn it on again.
-
- 2. Insert Diskette 1 when prompted and press Enter. The
- system begins loading.
-
- 3. Press Esc at the Welcome Screen to go the the A: prompt.
-
- 4. Change to the drive on which OS/2 resides (C:, D:,etc...)
-
- 5. Change Directory to the \OS2 directory on your hard disk.
- EXAMPLE: CD \OS2
-
- 6. Type: DIR *.* > SVGADATA.PMI and press Enter.
-
- 7. Type: SETVGA <D>: and press Enter.
- Where <D> is the Drive on which OS/2 resides.
-
- 8. When SETVGA.CMD starts, it asks for Display Driver Diskette
- 1. You have to create this diskette if you installed from
- CD-ROM. Type:
-
- <CD>:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF <CD>:\DISKIMGS\OS2\<size>\DISP1.DSK A:
-
- Where <CD> is the letter of your CD-ROM drive and <size> is
- the size of your diskette (35 for 3.5" disks, 525 for 5.25"
- diskettes.
-
-
- 9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system and go to the
- OS/2 Desktop.
-
- 10. Go to an OS/2 Window and type: DSPINSTL. This installs the
- video adapter and correct resolution for your video.
-
- 11. Perform a shutdown and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the
- system.
-
- 12. Do Selective Install for your printer and WIN-OS2 support.
- =================================================================
-
- If the previous procedure is not successful, try the following:
- .
- 1. Check in the \OS2\DLL subdirectory for the following files
- and status:
-
- a. IBMVGA32.DLL 42378 4-22-93 3:54P
- b. IBMDEV32.DLL 85326 4-22-93 4:08P
- c. BVHVGA.DLL 40892 4-25-93 4:04P
- d. DISPLAY.DLL 77120 4-29-93 9:24P
-
- If these files are not on the hard disk, insert Display
- Driver Diskette 1 in drive A: and type:
-
- (from the c:\> prompt)
- \OS2\UNPACK A:\VGA
-
- 2. Unpack and copy the DISPLAY.DLL files to the \OS2\DLL
- subdirectory on your hard disk. The file is located on a
- different diskette, depending on the OS/2 diskettes you are
- using.
-
- Diskette 2 = 3.5" Blue
- Diskette 3 = 3.5" Salmon
- Diskette 4 = 5.25"
-
- Insert the proper diskette in drive A: and type:
-
- (Example: from the c:\> prompt)
-
- \OS2\UNPACK A:\BUNDLE /N:DISPLAY.DLL
-
-
- 3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS, with a text editor, to ensure the file
- contains the following statements:
-
- DEVINFO=SCR,VGA,x:\OS2\VIOTBL.DCP
- SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_VGA
- SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA)
- DEVICE=x:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
-
- Where x: is the partition on which OS/2 resides.
-
- This is not the solution for every case. If this information
- did not solve the problem, call OS/2 Support for further assistance.
