- LP |I am trying to install OS/2 2.0 on a PS/2 80. When the installation is
- LP |completed and the system is restarted everything is OK until the moment
- LP |the desktop is supposed to apper. Insted the PC shows a white screen
- LP |and there is periodic activity on the disk.
-
- You do not say how long you are waiting on the "periodic activity" to cease.
- Though it has been a long while since I installed OS2, I do recall an
- extremely long period of time for the first desktop to be built. I read
- reports of this taking up to thirty minutes on some systems.
-
- I suggest that you at least wait until the disk activity stops, and then give
- it another ten or fifteen minutes before declaring it dead on arrival.
-
- Happy OS2'ing!
