IBM PS/2 (Type 9553) - Novell hangs after installing 540MB hard file

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PS/2 9553 systems running Novell Netware may exhibit a system hang condition when attempting to connect to the network.

This failure occurs if a 540Mb hardfile is installed as a replacement for the 527Mb drive. The standard Novell Netware
IDE disk driver in version 3.12 and earlier does not recognize hardfiles larger than 527Mb.

Fix:
Install NOV_IDE.EXE IDE disk device driver.
