DESCRIPTION

An Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI PCI Host Adapter was installed in a Dell 
Optiplex XL590. When OS/2 Warp is started, the system locks up.

The driver provided by Adaptec is AIC7870.ADD, dated 8-08-95, 2:44 a.m.,
with a file size of 40,956 bytes. It displays the following when used 
with the /V option:

      Total number of PCI buses present: 1
                                    
      Adaptec 7800 Family Driver for OS/2 v2.1x Warp v3.x/d1.2

   Target 5 LUN: 0 SEAGATE ST3285N       9539

RESOLUTION

The problem is with the IBM1S506.ADD driver on the OS/2 Warp Connect CD.
This file is dated 4-21-95 and has a size of 28,900 bytes. Replacing 
this driver with the one in the latest OS/2 Warp FixPak corrects the 
startup problems. The new driver is dated 8-28-95 and has a size of 
31,240 bytes.
