- I have been having nothing but trouble installing OS2 2.0 this last week. I
- have tried 2 video cards, various HD partitioning schemes, dual boot, boot
- manager, copying the disks, all CMOS settings, and the config.sys
- fix for some HD controllers (made it worse). The problem was always the same,
- in the middle of the installation, while copying either DISPLAY.DLL,
- or the BVHVGA.DLL (?) driver onto the HD the installation program would
- freeze.
- So I finally called IBM support and they told me that the problem was
- my phoenix bios is too old (1991). They said I needed to up rev to
- revision dated 05-11-92! Is this right?! Is anyone out there running
- OS2 2.0 on phoenix bios roms dated before this year's May!??
