I Have a similar setup (486DX2-66, 3 VLB, AMI BIOS 11/11/92, UMC CHipset, 8 MB RAM 70ns, 2 IDE Hard drives) and i couldn't install OS/2 because of TRAPS and SYS messages. However, i did solve my problem :). My solution, was to turn on the AUTO CONFIG option in the Advanced CMOS Settings. Give this a try. It just may work. Now , if i could only get OS/2 to install properly using a VLB IDE Controller....... (I can succesfully install using an ISA IDE Controller) Chinh -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CHINH ( o.k.a Seeker) | Of all man's miseries the worst, | | int118z@aurora.cc.monash.edu.au | is possessing so much knowledge | | int118z@lindblat.cc.monash.edu.au| and having so little control | | Dept Comp Sci, Monash University | | | Melbourne, Australia | | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
