    Trap during Install on Systems with Intel Pro Ethernet Adapter
=======================================================================

DESCRIPTION

During installation on systems with an Intel Pro/10+ Ethernet Adapter, 
the system may trap multiple times, in multiple locations, on the OS/2 
Warp 4 Installation Diskette, Diskette 1, or Diskette 2.

These traps may be as severe as TRAP000Es, TRAP0006s, or TRAP000Ds; or 
they may be SYS3176 or SYS3175 errors in the snooper files (*.SNP) or 
in various device drivers.

The problem is with the I/O (Port) address of the ethernet adapter. The 
default address of this card should be set to 300; if this address is 
changed to 340, these traps will occur.  
This is because all the snooper (*.SNP) files use this address.

RESOLUTION

To remedy this problem, follow the instructions from the manufacturer 
to change the I/O address of the ethernet adapter back to its default 
address of 300.

OR

1. Restart the system with the OS/2 Warp 4 Installation Diskette. When 
   the OS/2 and white rectangle appear in the top left corner of the
   screen, press Alt-F1.

2. At the blue Recovery Choices screen, choose option F6 to disable the 
   hardware snoopers. Then, press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system. 

3. Insert Diskettes 1 and 2 when prompted. Press F3 from the Welcome 
   screen to get to a command prompt.

4. Place Diskette 1 in the drive and type TEDIT A:\CONFIG.SYS, then 
   press Enter.
   
5. Add the following line anywhere in the CONFIG.SYS file:

     BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS /p:340,4

   Note: If the BASEDEV=RESERVE.SYS line already exists, modify 
         it to read as shown above.

6. Save the file and restart the installation.
