Post #241,561 by n3jja 1/16/06 8:49:54 PM Reply	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.....
Post #241,568 by boxley 1/16/06 9:04:32 PM Reply	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 Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep
Post #241,571 by Another Scott 1/16/06 9:09:08 PM Reply	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.
Post #241,573 by n3jja 1/16/06 9:21:21 PM Reply	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.....
Post #241,576 by n3jja 1/16/06 9:28:18 PM Reply	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.....
Post #241,574 by Andrew Grygus 1/16/06 9:27:27 PM Reply	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?). [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #241,577 by n3jja 1/16/06 9:30:59 PM Reply	That's next. Was saving it as a last resort. And, yes, I'm using Snap for OS/2.
