Selective Install hangs system !?

Whenever I try to run Selective Install, my system freezes up and I
cannot even reboot.  I have to power down.  This happens on 2 PC's.
It's a 386-33 with 8 MB RAM.

Thanks for any help.

After I got my new CDROM drive the other day, and installed MMPM/2, I can
no longer run Selective Install either.  The system doesn't hang, but it halts
Selective Install with this error:

SYS3175
A program generated an access violation at 17b7930c OS2MM.DLL 0001:0002930c
blah...blah...blah

I haven't tried disabling MMPM/2 yet, but I will get around to it and see if that
corrects the problem, and report back.

I had a similar problem.  In my case it was a conflict with my NE2000
ethernet board.  It seems that one of the Warp device drivers is hardwired to
IO address 0x320.  My NIC was also using that address.  My quick solution was
to remove the NIC and run install.  (I couldn't change the IO address on the
NIC 'cause I couldn't find the documentation, and I was in a hurry.  I have
since fixed that.)

Hope this helps.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem.

I've tried disabling MMPM/2 and have even reinstalled OS/2 after
formatting my OS/2 partition, but the same SYS3175 error keeps coming back!
Any help would be appreciated!

Put config.sys and autoexec.bat on every hard drive's root dir.
that will fix the problem

I've got the same problem.  I called IBM and this problem doesn't have
anything to do with MMPM/2.  Instead, according to their experts, OS/2 is
not able to "see" DOS if you've installed OS/2 in different primary
partitions.  But, I don't believe it!!

Make sure that warp cant see ANY autoexec.bat files on any other drives.
This problem has nothing to do with multimedia.
On my system, warp is on a large primary partition, dos is on a small primary partition
and all of my dos/windows software is on another partition which both operating systems
can see but they cant see each other. If there is an autoexec.bat file but no config.sys file on the data
drive then selective install will hang every time. It was explained to me this way:
selective install will look recursively for config.sys after finding a copy of autoexec.bat until
it runs out of stack space and it traps.
In other words delete or rename any copies of autoexec.bat and config.sys
and everything will run smoothly

I get the same error, be curious to know if anyone can solve it because
IBM can't.
