IBM PC - System hang accessing selective install with OS/2 Warp and IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet card

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PC 300/700 Series systems and PS/ValuePoint systems with an IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet card installed may hang when the Selective Install function is accessed in OS/2 WARP.

Problem Isolation Aids:
When accessing the Selective Install function in OS/2 WARP, the system will hang prior to the System Configuration screen appearing. A cold boot (off/on) 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:
OS/2 WARP reserves I/O address 300h and 320h for its own use during installation and Selective Install. Using the configuration program supplied with the IBM ISA LAN Adapter for Ethernet, assign an I/O address other than 300h or 320h. Verify that there are no other adapters installed that are using I/O address 300h or 320h.
