I have just read your tales of woe with regaed to installing os2.  It 
didn't mean much to me untill you mentioned that the BIOS was an AWARD 
BIOS.  I bought a P90 with AWARD BIOS toward the beginning of the year 
and found a large number of compatibity problems.  I took it back to my 
suppier and got it exchanged for a good American made board with AMI 
BIOS.  Since then the number of problems I hear about with AWARD BIOS's 
is getting greater.

If somebody askes me for advice now the first question I ask is the type 
of BIOS.  It might be a coincidence, but the number of "weired" 
compatibility faults I encounter have the AWARD BIOS.

You could try turning the External Cache off.

Hope this is of assistance.
