You need a kernel update
there are many places (esp. Australia, I hear) where they can be had.

Found newer kernel. Didn't help.
Found a kernel on an Australian site (thanks, Jack), but doesn't seem to solve the issue. New kernel is .104_W4, but still can't boot all the way. Seems to be hanging right before the display driver loads.
Very weird.....

dont know squat about OS2 but video cmos settings?
making sure no higher memory is being used by the video bios. Usually in the old days I would downgrade everything possible then stuff would load enuff to tweak. Again, I never successfully got OS2 to load.
thanx,
bill

Good point. It might be a "video aperture" issue.
IIRC, Matrox put some video memory between 512 MB and 1 GB. Maybe something like that is involved.
Cheers,
Scott.

Not likely.
This has symptoms of the known >512MB memory issue I've seen mentioned.
Besides, if it was a CMOS setting, I'd expect the eCS 1.2 demo CD to have an issue booting and it does not.
Still searching.....

Been at this many years.
I've installed OS/2 on many a system over the years. There's always a hitch from time to time, but usually the solution is found.
A temporary setback only. Still searching.....

Did you try the boot time option . . .
. . to set back to VGA mode? If that works then you could try reinstalling whatever driver you're using (SciTech Snap?).

That's next. Was saving it as a last resort.
And, yes, I'm using Snap for OS/2.
