Finding a problematic device driver

= OS/2 hangs after installation =

Last Updated: 27th November, 1994

Symptoms
Following installation, OS/2 displays the new logo screen and hangs.

Hardware
Any.

Problem
IRQ conflict.

Fix
Ensure that no two adapters share an IRQ setting. To help determine which driver is being loaded at the time of the hang (and thus which adapter may be a part of the problem), re-boot and press Alt-F2 when the "boot-blob" (small white rectangle in the upper left corner of the screen) appears. This will list each driver as it loads.
