OS/2 Warp 4 Installation Trap000d at IBM1S506$

--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION


A trap000d at IBM1S506$ or a lock up occurs loading IBMIDECD.FLT or 
IBM1S506.ADD during startup of OS/2 Warp 4. 

RESOLUTION

Use either of the following workarounds:

Modify the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD statement in CONFIG.SYS:

  1. Restart the system, pressing Alt-F1 when the small white rectangle 
     appears in the upper left corner of the screen.

  2. Press F2 to go to command line.

  3. Type TEDIT CONFIG.SYS, then press Enter.

  4. Press Esc.

  5. Change BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD to BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /a:0 /bm.

  6. Save and exit the file, then restart the system.

Replace the driver causing the problem with the corresponding 
OS/2 Warp 3 driver:

Note: If you do not have OS/2 Warp 3, download WARPINST.EXE from the 
      IBM PC Company BBS at 919-517-0001, or from the following web 
      site:
      http://www.pc.ibm.com.

      Copy the WARPINST.EXE file into a temporary directory. Change to 
       that temporary directory and type WARPINST, then press Enter 
       to extract the files.  

1. If the system stops with no error message, identify the driver 
   causing the problem as follows:

   Restart the system, pressing Alt-F2 when the small white rectangle
   appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen. This causes the
   drivers being loaded to display on screen. The driver remaining on
   screen when the lock up occurs is the problem driver.

2. Restart the system, with the OS/2 Warp 4 Installation Diskette in
   drive A:. Insert Diskettes 1 and 2 when prompted. Press F3 at the
   Welcome screen to escape to a command prompt.

3. Make a backup copy of the problem driver. For example, type: 

   COPY C:\OS2\BOOT\IBM1S506.ADD C:\OS2\BOOT\IBM1S506.BAK, 
   then press Enter (where C: is the OS/2 installation drive).

4. Copy the older version of the problem driver to the \OS2\BOOT 
   directory. For example, type:

   COPY X:\TEMP\IBM1S506.ADD  C:\OS2\BOOT\IBM1S506.ADD then press Enter
   (where X:\TEMP is the path to the older version of the driver files).

5. Remove any diskettes, then restart the system.

Note: Replacing the driver on Diskette 1, along with adding the 
      correct parameters to the device driver statement in the 
      CONFIG.SYS file on Diskette 1, will allow the installation to get 
      past the error. If this procedure is followed, 
      SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
      must also added to the bottom of the CONFIG.SYS file on 
      Diskette 1.
