Help!!!

I am trying to install Warp - CD onto the following config...	

486DX2-S 66MHz 256K cache, 16 Meg Ram, AWARD BIOS, VL Bus Motherboard,
WD 540MB HD, Quantum 170MB HD, 1-3.5inch FD, 1-5.25 inch FD, Promise 
DC4030VL-2 Hard disk controller with 4MB cache <using PTI1S506.ADD driver for this>, 
Orchid kelvin 64 graphics card with 2MB dram, Panasonic CR562B CD Rom 
attached to Soundblaster AWE32 card, Supra FaxModem V32.Bis internal 
card.  HP Deskjet 550C printer.  The operating systems already on the 
other partition is MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1
  

I have partitioned the Western Digital Hard disk into the following:

Partion           Status            Access          FS Type         MB

                Startable           Primary         BOOT MANAGER      1
DOS/WIN         Bootable          C:Primary           FAT           170
OS/2            Bootable          E:Logical          HPFS           220
                None              F:Logical           FAT           111
                                    Pri/Log          Freespace       11

Using advanced installation I select an alternative drive, select the 
OS/2 logical drive and change it's status to 'Installable', I exit 
FDISK, format the drive as HPFS.  The installation program continues 
normally.  When the System Configuration screen comes up, I select my 
printer.  Primary display shows SVGA( Cirrus Logic ), then on 
acceptance, a more specific choice comes up for 'Cirrus Logic 5426, 
6428, 5430, 5434', I accept this.  The Orchid Kelvin 65 Has the Cirrus 
Logic 5434 chip onboard.  The other setups hae defaulted correctly.

Accepting the format, the system begins to install, after a while a box 
comes up with the following message...

System Error - OS/2 setup and installation.

SYS3170
  A program in this session encountered a problem and cannot continue.

I look at the map and this is the first line.

A program caused exception 00000040 at 00000000

The only other option is to stop the program, I do this and I'm in the 
desktop, but nothing has been setup.

I reboot the machine and I get the following message...

SYS1201: The device driver E:\MMOS2\SB16D2.SYS specifed in the device 
statement on line 73 of the CONFIG.SYS file was not installed.  Line 75 
ignored.

The screen goes blank with a small cursor in the top left hand corner 
and thats it...  Nothing, nada, nil, zip.  Died the death.

I have tried re-installing from scratch and I always get the same 
problem!!!

What can it be, please someone, help!!!!

You can mail me or repost to this newsgroup, preferably the former, if 
you can help.

Thanx in advance
