PCServer95 - Hangs during warm boot
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom
Hangs may be experienced during re-boot (warm boot) of the PS/2 Server 95A (9595A) running DOS 6.0 or 6.1.
Problem Isolation Aids
Both of the following statements must exist for this tip to apply.
1. DOS 6.0 or DOS 6.1 is the operating system being used.
2. EMM386.EXE is in the CONFIG.SYS file.
Fix
Remove the "EMM386.EXE" statement from the CONFIG.SYS file using the following procedure:
1. Reboot the system.
2. After POST completes (a single "beep"), when DOS starts loading, press F5 quickly. This bypasses the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
3. Using a file editor, such as Edlin, edit the CONFIG.SYS file and remove or "rem out" the EMM386.SYS line.
4. Save the changes and reboot the system.
Future releases of DOS will make loading of EMM386 optional.
