IBM PC - OS/2 Warp hangs with IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
VP, VP-p, PC 300 and PC 700 systems may hang when during an OS/2 Warp Selective Install when an IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet card is installed.

Problem Isolation Guidance:
During an OS/2 WARP Selective Install, the system will hang prior to the System Configuration screen appearing.
A cold boot is required to clear the hang condition. The ISA Ethernet adapter is configured for an I/O address of 300h or 320h. Advanced diagnostics run without failures.

Fix:
The problem is caused by OS/2 WARP reserving I/O address 300h and 320h for its own use during installation and Selective Install. This conflicts with the default I/O address of the IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet. Using the configuration program supplied with the IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet, assign an I/O address other than 300h or 320h. Double check that are no other adapters installed that may also be using I/O address 300h or 320h.
