Grrrr.


I can't install OS/2 2.1 beta.

It gets all the way to the LAST DISK, and then it hangs.
If I reboot after that, OS/2 starts to boot from the hard disk, buten
hangs at the logo. At this point, pressing enter once makes
it access the harddisk. pressing enter again, and OS/2 starts churning
and then no more keyboard action is recognized (from this point, ctrl-alt-del
no longer works)

I tried changing the spb506.add driver as suggested, with no luck. I tried
the newer version from IBM, I also tried the generic int13 driver,
and OS/2 can't boot either.

what's wrong?
(IDE drive, AMI BIOS, AMD386-40, HPFS formatted)
