SYS3175 Error on Selective Install (to change video card)

I've spent a couple of hours on the phone to the IBM (lack-of?-) helpline
without any joy on this one :-(

Having recently acquired a Cirrus Logic CL5429 VL Video Card to replace
my ageing Trident 8900C, and having established that the latest drivers
to use were those for the CL5428, I thought it would be a doddle to swap
the cards. Boy was I wrong!

I reset my system from 800x600 back to SVGA (as recommended in the manual)
but now every time I try the Selective Install Option, irrespective of
actual video card installed, I get the old "clang, clang" SYS3175. A check
on the register display always reveals AFAIUI an access violation with
OS2MM.DLL.

Now I can't even get it to give me back 800x600 with my old Trident :-(

IBM suggest deleting and re-installing Warp (trauma time - what do I need to
restore to get my desktop back as it was???)

My system: 486-66, 16M, 2x420Mb IDE, SB Pro, Jumbo DJ10 with AB10 Adaptor,
Boot Mgr with DOS and OS/2 (HPFS) partitions.

Any pointers would be gratefully received. TVMIA.
