IBM PS/2/IBM ValuePoint - System hangs after installing OS/2 S3 drivers
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM PS/2 Micro Channel 9576/77 i/s systems, and PS/ValuePoint 6382/S, 6384/D and 6387/T systems may exhibit a system hang condition during IPL after installing the S3_16M video drivers for OS/2 2.11 and WARP 3.0.
Problem Isolation Aids :
During the installation of the S3_16M video device drivers, the system may not request video driver diskette #2. The installation will appear to complete successfully, however, on the final reboot to activate the changes, the system will hang with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the display.
Fix :
Boot the system using the OS/2 Utility Diskettes or a bootable DOS diskette. Edit the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file and locate the following series of video statements:
**SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_SVGA
SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA)
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
DEVINFO=SCR,VGA,C:\OS2\VIOTBL.DCP
**SET VIO_SVGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA)
**-Indicates the statements are either corrupted or missing.
Correct/add the corrupted or missing statements. The system should boot normally after correcting the CONFIG.SYS statements.
An updated version of the S3_16M video driver for OS/2 has been developed to eliminate this failure.
